I bought 2….. I’m a goober and should have paused and thought about how big (or small) 4” is. Lol. I have an adult crested gecko and of course she doesn’t fit!! Hahaha. But I stuck them her cage anyway.
My took my girl awhile to warm up to them but when she did she crawled all over them. She loves them. I’ll get her the 6” for sure.
The natural moss is shoved into a wire structure. The basic shape is made with a thick gage and then there’s a small gage wire wrapped around the larger gage to keep the shape and give the moss something to hang onto. It’s a great product. Well made. The moss drys out pretty quickly and it doesn’t necessarily get all the moisture it needs to stay supple from misting so plan on soaking the balls about once a week depending on your environment and temperature.
I will caution everyone to to run your hands inside and out squeezing the moss as you go once you unpack your moss balls. Look for loose wire ends. I found several, mostly the large gage wire ends near or at the mouth of the moss ball. The ends are sticking out enough and sharp enough to inflict serious damage to an unsuspecting lizard, snake, or frog. A quick snip or maybe a glob of nontoxic sealant or hot glue should does the trick. I used hot glue and made a small end piece on the large gage wire. Worked like a charm.
As soon as I installed this item in the habitat, close to the terrarium humidifier, my crab crawled its way in. Checked it out and stayed there for the longest time. Last time I checked, he was hanging out in there. I am very happy I finally found something that mimics its endemic environment.
It is cozy and brings a nice sturdy metal chain to hang into the top of the terrarium, although I am not currently using it that way, It can be detached if necessary. It retains the humidity thus creating a warm environment where my crab enjoys spending time at.
It is very simple, yet, it makes sense. Size is good, I believe I will be able to use it for a while. I do recognize I will have to purchase another one to keep it fresh but that is necessary for all other reptile, crab habitat I guess. Humidity dose that.
Great product, I will purchase again.
