A good friend of mine likes to have her iguana (she calls him Iguana) out of the house, but unfortunately reptiles do not like to be kept in a cage. When they want to hide there is no place quite as good as their natural habitat which is the forest, and this is what I have decided is best for him. He has an enclosure made of wood of similar material to what I have used for a turtle run. The interior is lined with soft fabric for her skin. The inside surface has slats of wood on three sides to give him shelter.
Reptile hides are designed to keep the keeper comfortable and warm, and are also very effective at keeping the animal safe from other animals that may be predators of the snake. This is a very good reason to have one of these hides, you will never know when your pet might be attacked by a skunk or raccoon. Most snakes will hide rather than kill, but once in a while you might find them snoozing in the corner of a den. It is the iguana’s way of protecting his body from these dangerous animals. The hide also helps him stay cool and protected from the cold of the forest.
There are many different types of reptile hides, some are designed for all sizes of lizards, alligators, and snakes. You will find them at most pet stores, or if you go online you will be able to find the exact hide you need for your pet. I have found that you can purchase hides that are pre-cut, and that will make your pet keeper job that much easier. Snakes and lizards do not like being cut open and will usually just lie down in the hide until they are completely warmed up, and then they can get right out.
You do not need to purchase all four of these hides. If you only plan on having one hide for your help, then you can purchase one of each size. If you are going to keep four herps, then you should purchase 4 different sized hides. The reason why you would only want one hide is because you would not be able to provide your pets with a full experience if one of the hides got destroyed. This would defeat the purpose of having them in your own pet turtle tank.
It is important that you know what type of hide your pet turtle needs in order to ensure it is properly cared for. There are two types of reptile hides. One type of hide is called a chronic stress hide and the other is called a scarlet macaw hide. Both are used for the same reasons, to provide the turtle with comfort and warmth. Your pet may suffer from chronic stress if it is not kept warm enough, or if it has not been exposed to enough herptic acid.
Chronic stress causes the body to produce more herp antibodies (these are antibodies that protect the body from infection). These herp antibodies will attack anything that is foreign to the body, so a heretic (poison) immune system is necessary. A good place to hide your pet reptiles is in a location that allows them the most exposure to the herptic (poison) food that is fed to them on a daily basis. Hiding areas such as these will also protect your herp pets from attacks by predators such as birds, raccoons, and cats.
The scarlet macaw hide is the preferred hide of many herp owners. These owners claim that the animal is very comfortable and loyal, and can stay calm even under stressful situations. The hide has a high content of Vitamin D. Reptiles also need a certain amount of protein, which is found in eggs shells. Shells contain a high concentration of protein, which is needed to build strong bones and nails. These shells can also be hides for reptiles that are not used to terrarium life because the eggs can be very unappealing.
There are many other types of reptile hides to consider. Most pet stores carry several different hides that reptile owners may choose from. The size of the hide should be based on the size of the animal. Reptiles do not have appetites that are the same as your pets. Therefore, they need a very large sized hide, up to one foot in length.
