Hiding Spot

[Nykeri]

So I've been reading about hiding spots and was wondering if Rocco needs one? What are some good ones to make? He's 5.5 inches now...

Yep it’s good to provide a hiding spot. Are you using a t5 high out uvb tube? If so it’s best to provide a hide in the cool end ( so he can get completely away from uvb and heat if he wants to) and to provide a hide in the warm end ( so he can still be in the warm end but no uvb if he wants)
It’s about providing a nice range - so he can choose what he needs
You can make one from polystyrene etc like the 3D backgrounds in the diy section, or even from a shoe box.
It can be simple or complex- whatever suits what you need
I have these ones now
https://www.komodoproducts.com/komodo-large-basking-ramp.html I have this as a basking platform that doubles as a hide. The large is perfect for an adult beardie with plenty of room under.
I have this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Trixie-76193-Reptile-Cave-32/dp/B002YJS0YS in the 32cmx12cmx29cm and that is large enough for my 15” beardie and has room for him to grow also
