Arboreal Canopy Egg Hide & Elevated Nest

In the wild canopies of New Caledonia and tropical rainforests, arboreal geckos spend their daylight hours nestled securely inside hollow tree knots, dense bromeliad centers, and curled bark cavities. They rarely retreat to ground level unless hunting or seeking damp substrate.

Engineered specifically for canopy-dwelling species, this egg-shaped arboreal hideout mounts directly to your glass or acrylic enclosure walls using an integrated heavy-duty suction cup. With a rounded, cocoon-like interior and a softly textured, tactile exterior that allows geckos to climb effortlessly over the shell, it provides the essential sense of security ("thigmotaxis") arboreal reptiles need to reduce stress, rest comfortably, and thrive.

Available in three size stages—from a secure, snug nursery pod for hatchlings to a spacious nesting and egg-laying retreat for adult breeding females—it blends seamlessly into planted, bioactive, or minimalist gecko setups.

Why Keepers Love It:

• Naturalistic Tree-Hollow Security: Enclosed, egg-shaped cavity mimics wild tree hollows, encouraging daytime rest while significantly reducing environmental stress in timid or new geckos.
• Climbable Micro-Textured Shell: The fine 3D-ridged surface provides reliable grip for sticky gecko toe pads and claws, turning the outside of the hide into an active elevated climbing structure.
• Instant 3-Second Suction Mount: Equipped with a wide, durable suction cup that mounts securely to clean glass, acrylic, or smooth plastic without bulky hardware, magnets, or adhesives.
• Multi-Purpose Moist Hide or Lay Box: Add a small cluster of damp sphagnum moss inside to instantly create an elevated humid microclimate for shedding or a safe elevated egg-laying nest for breeding females.
• Hygienic & Easy to Sanitize: Crafted from durable, non-porous pet-safe composite that rinses clean in seconds with warm water during enclosure wipe-downs.

Species Compatibility:

• Arboreal Geckos: Crested geckos (Correlophus ciliatus), gargoyle geckos (Rhacodactylus auriculatus), giant day geckos (Phelsuma), mourning geckos, Eurydactylodes, and mossy prehensile-tailed geckos.
• Tree Frogs & Small Inverts: Red-eyed tree frogs, Whites tree frogs (juvenile/medium), and arboreal tarantulas or jumping spiders (Size Small).

Keeper Husbandry Tip:

Strategic Canopy Placement: Mount this hide in the upper third of your terrarium, shaded by broad-leafed plants (such as Pothos or Sansevieria) away from direct, unfiltered basking heat. For geckos going through a shed cycle, pack the base of the pod with a small handful of damp New Zealand sphagnum moss to create an irresistible elevated humid microclimate.
