This hanging coconut with bridge is perfect for small-medium arboreal geckos or lizards, including Anoles, Leopard Geckos, Crested Geckos, Velvet Geckos, and much more. These hides work great in humid enclosures as long as they have a chance to dry out every 1-2 days. Either suspend it from the screen top of your enclosure, or request suction cups in the notes, so that you can suspend it from anywhere in your tank or tub. We use our coconut hides as moist hides in our Arboreal enclosures by suspending them with a suction cup and adding a clump of Sphagnum moss to the inside. Coconuts are approximately 3-3.5" inside and have a 3.25-4" diameter on the outside and are around 6-8" tall (not including the string) with a 2" opening. We do have coconuts that are larger and smaller than that, so please message or email us before ordering if you need something in a bigger or smaller size.
The length being selected is for the bridge. The coconut hide will add an extra 3.25-4" length, so if you select the 12" bridge, the total length of the product will be between around 16". We typically recommend going 4" shorter than your tank width if you want some bow. If you want it to have little to no bow, go 5" shorter than your tank width. If you want it to have a larger bow or more flexibility to hang it at a diagonal, then go with a bridge that is 2" shorter than your tank width. If you want it to go at a straight diagonal, then measure that diagonal first and apply the same rules above to that measurement. All bridges are 2.5" in width with a 4" end piece. If you want a 4" bridge instead, please pm us so we can make a custom listing for you. If you want a custom length or color for your bridge, feel free to message us and we can see what we can do. We're always more than happy to make something custom for you!
Bamboo comes in all sorts of widths and is cut down for these bridges. The pieces of bamboo may vary in color and size from stick to stick within the bridge. Because we cut them by hand, the ends may not always be a perfect straight cut. We always make sure that we smooth out any rough edges before using the bamboo in our bridges. There may be burn marks by the knotted edge of the bridge as well. We have to burn the paracord edges to round them off after completing the bridge, so sometimes the bamboo will have slight burns on it where the ends meet. We glue the bamboo to the paracord using a water and heat resistant glue that is 100% safe for reptiles and amphibians. This keeps the bamboo in place and extends the life of the bridge. This is the part of the bridge that faces down and is not very noticeable. If you have any questions about the bamboo, or the hide please feel free to message us.
