Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:
*Nicely shaped, and decent looking.
*Great for being able to view your pet without having to disturb their habitat.
*Can be used as a moist hide/micro-clime
*Two levels allows multiple animals to easily share if they choose to.
*Magnet is strong and holds together well. Never put the two pieces together without something in between them!
* Will last a long time when taken care of

Cons:
*The plastic is somewhat brittle, if you drop something, like a rock, on this, or drop it during cleaning it will crack, but on the bright side, it doesn't shatter or chip and is still useable with cracks. Mine has multiple cracks and functions no problem.
*The magnet is strong, so you have to be careful that when you open and close the hide that your pet does not have any toes/feet/tail/etc. between the glass and the hide, otherwise they could be injured. I have never had this happen with my leopard geckos, but it is something to be careful about.
*Depending on where you buy this item, it will probably be overpriced, as most pet supplies are.
*Dogs, cats, & small children are capable of knocking the outer piece off, so be aware of what it will fall on if it is knocked off. It can break or break other things when it falls or hurt your toes. My cats have knocked it off occasionally by stepping on the outer piece as they jumped onto the tank.

I would give it 4 1/2 stars now and I'd give it 5 stars if the plastic was a bit less crack prone when dropped.

I've had this hide for a few years for my two leopard geckos, who seem to enjoy it. It's a good product and I've never regretted purchasing it. It's really useful because it allows me to view them while they are inside, which makes it much easier for me to check on their well being. It also allows them to easily be shown to other people and children without having to remove them from the cage. I imagine that any reptile or even amphibian who can fit comfortably inside this hide would enjoy it, as will their owners.
