Hammock Review
I purchased a $4 hammock for leopard geckos. It's larger than expected and surprisingly affordable.
The material has a strong plastic smell, and it lacks instructions. I replaced the suction cups with Command hooks for better adhesion.
Overall, for $4, it's a decent product. However, consider supporting small businesses on Etsy for similar items of potentially higher quality.
Terracotta Humid Hide Review
This humid hide, featuring a terracotta pot on a stump base, is designed to increase humidity. It's smaller than anticipated but cute.
The edges are a bit sharp, requiring minor filing. I'm using it in a leopard gecko tank.
It effectively increased humidity by 12%. Adding water to the substrate further boosted humidity to 72%, ideal for leopard geckos.
Reptile Enrichment Toy Review
This enrichment toy, designed for hiding treats or insects, was a bit of a disappointment.
It didn't live up to expectations and likely will result in a mess. The reviews on Amazon reflected this issue accurately.
The idea is cute, but the poor quality makes it not worth the purchase.
Heat Pad Review
This heat pad with a dimmer switch arrived folded, raising concerns given the warning against bending.
The heat distribution is uneven, with some areas significantly hotter than others, even at its lowest setting.
Due to the uneven heating and the potential safety risks, I wouldn't recommend this heat pad.
Bearded Dragon Tank Liner Review
This liner is made of a smooth, textured plastic, unlike the expected carpet-like material.
It's easy to clean, non-porous, and prevents sliding. The slight plastic odor is not overpowering.
This liner is a good value and an excellent alternative to other substrates.
Reptile Water Fountain Review
This water fountain is larger than expected and plugs in. It features a sponge to catch excess water.
It has adjustable water flow. Keep an eye on the sponge for potential bacterial growth.
While potentially beneficial for some reptiles, its size and power requirements might not be suitable for all setups.
Bearded Dragon Harness Review
This harness comes in various sizes and allows for outdoor adventures with your bearded dragon.
It's easy to clip onto various items. The video demonstrates the fitting process.
Overall a useful and simple product.
Dehumidifier Fan Review
This mini dehumidifier is small and easy to use. It has manual and automatic modes.
While effective at lowering humidity (in the video a 1-2% reduction in an hour and a half), it’s not silent.
It's a worthwhile addition to maintaining ideal reptile tank humidity.
Bearded Dragon 3-Piece Set Review
This set includes a large vine, leaves, a hammock, and a hide, all much larger than anticipated.
The quality is good, and the items are suitable for larger tanks.
A worthwhile purchase, especially for the value offered.
Mini Dehumidifier Review
This mini dehumidifier received positive Amazon reviews. It's compact and plugs in.
It is designed to reduce humidity in smaller reptile tanks. The video shows that this device did not reduce humidity.
The effectiveness of this dehumidifier is questionable, based on the video results.
