Zilla cave - is it big enough?

MarlowAndMe · Oct 21, 2018

Just wondering if anyone here has this Zilla cave? If so could you tell me if the opening is big enough for a dragon please?
I have to order it from overseas so I can’t see it in person
Thanks

What are it's INTERNAL dimensions ?

MarlowAndMe · Oct 21, 2018

I don’t know the measurements that is why I thought I would ask here if anyone has one for their beardies

All I know is it is 12cm at the tallest part from the bottom

ScaryDemonDragon · Oct 21, 2018

In that case, it should be big enough. But do you know how long it is ?

MarlowAndMe · Oct 21, 2018

It doesn’t say unfortunately .. but I am thinking about 30cm ish as it looks about 2.5 x longer than it is tall

ScaryDemonDragon · Oct 21, 2018

Ok! It should be big enough to use in vivarium so that it can fit inside of it. I hope all goes well

Why not send off an email to the vendor and ask for internal measurements and actual size of the entrance hole.

Is very easy to get caught out with these resin hides , if very tight for a large lizard , because of their construction (a ledge around the base on the inside) a too large lizard who can't easily turn around inside can get trapped under and be unable to extricate itself and very traumatic to forceable pull it out (hurts !!!).

Be doubly sure there is going to loads of space for your dragon inside when it's full grown.

I tried that but that one and another I was interested in the seller does not accept questions on , I think I’ll just get a Exo Terra large as that he will definetly fit in full grown still

Ok! Whatever you think is best for the better being and comfort of your Beardie!

I was a bit put off when it was mentioned he might get stuck... I have a betta fish get stuck recently ( I am really careful to only get decor with holes big enough for them too but he got stuck in a part that didn’t even cross my mind ) so I don’t want to experience that again with Marlow.
I ordered a Zilla basking ramp instead

Rex got herself well and truly wedged in tight under one of these at one stage

, only good thing was I was home at the time and heard her struggling to get unstock …. I literally had no choice but to grab her tail and pull her backwards to extract her as she was very tightly stuck .
I immediately retired these hides and ordered a jumbo HubbaHut for each (Rex and Puff) and made do with a cardboard mailing box til the new hides arrived.
