Zoo MedCavern Kit with Excavator

Messy fun, takes bit getting used to but worth it, good to have design ready before mix it up, can go crumbly if small thin areas but Hoover it off once week and it's great

Aswome product

Good product but didn't get a lot of it covered only half of my vivarium

The media could not be loaded. Whether your trying to make mounds, or making a hide, tunnels, ext, this kit it perfect 👍. I love the price point for what I got, I’m very pleased. I did everything you see by hand, no balloons, no nothing. The tools are neat but I felt it hindered my creativity with making my project unique, not only did I get to make a sloped spot for my Leo to climb and bask but I also got the idea to make it a hide as well. Even had left over materials for a basking mound, couldn’t be more pleased. Get it try it out!! You will not regret this, also your reptile will absolutely love it. Make sure to dry well, seems like it’s taking a while.

as advertised, works great

Great product to hardscape features for tarantulas! Even with my A. chalcodes, who loves to dig, she does not appear to be digging through the set feature structures, just through the substrate :) Very easy to work with, dries solid. Will definitely purchase again as I expand my collection.

It's a project to mix the clay and set up the structure but it was a fun one! It did Crack some when drying but it doesn't bother me. My gecko sure loves his home with this! So much more natural than random hides here and there. I still used his hides, just built a layer above them so there's more space to explore and it's more aesthetically pleasing.

I am a reptile keeper myself, and I can recommend this product to any keeper with desert-dwelling lizards. It is perfect for them. It provides a sturdy, natural-looking shelter that will retain heat and/or provide a colder hide for your reptile. My uromastyx loves his excavator clay hide, and I often find him sleeping in the tunnel part of it that the kit provides. The kit is beginner-friendly but is also used by professional reptile-keepers across the globe.The Zoo Med Cavern Kit includes a 12-pound bag of excavator clay substrate, a 7" tunnel, two large balloons and two small balloons, and a high-quality shovel. The instructions are easy to follow, but the clay is hard to mix and the water-to-clay ratio seems incorrect. I needed to add more water to the mixture for all of the clay to become saturated. I had a lot of trouble mixing the clay powder with the water, and needed to add much more water than the instructions implied.After the substrate was mixed, the actual construction process was fairly easy but took a LONG time to dry- about three days. After three days, the clay hardened completely, and was hard as rock. It is very sturdy and provides a great shelter for my uromastyx.
