Zilla Pet Terrarium Rock Lair, X-Large

I’m writing to help people with sizing. The product works great as a humid hide for my adult brazilian rainbow boa who measures in at 6 foot 2 inches and she just barely fits in the extra large. It’s one of the few commercially available hides that fits a snake this large, but still has a somewhat naturalistic look. The top functions great as a basking rock without the inside getting too hot. Easy to clean, sturdy, and works great to help my big girl feel secure. Worth the few extra bucks compared to some of the other stuff out there that’s basically just tupperware with a hole in the side.

My ball python never leaves this unless he makes a mess inside it. This is his favorite hide and it's extremely heavy! He can't move it so it stays in place. It's perfect size for him. Large with plenty of room for him to grow.

Looked at quite a few of these extra large hides for my RP, Ayame, since she outgrew her previous hide which was her favorite. I was concerned about the fact that people were reporting broken or damaged hides being delivered, thankfully, ours was intact. I cleaned it and added some moss for her to lay on but it took a bit of coaxing for her to get in, she seems content. The top is heavy so she doesn't budge it when she slides on in and looks like she's for plenty of room. She is about 38"-41" inches long (kinda hard to get her to lay straight just to measure her, ya know 😉) but she weighs a little bit over 1100 G. It seems to be holding the heat pretty well inside when checked with a temp gun it was a cozy 89° inside. I really enjoyed the Natural Stone with moss look to it because I feel like it gives it more of an authentic feel inside of her terrarium.

This is my second X-Large Zilla lair. I bought one for my 4 ft ball python, unsure if he would really use it...or even if he'd fit.Well...he fits, so he sits 😂 Only now he only sits on the cool side, so the same hide for the warm was a requirement so he'll properly thermo regulate.I saw plenty of reviews saying it came broken, and my first one did come with a small break off on the inside lip. I hot glued that puppy right back on and sealed it with some aquarium silicone, and it was just fine... it's what Sergeant Snek is in and sitting on in my pics.The second one was clearly a return... there was a little scuffing on the inside in the yellow circle of one pic (has no bearing on how the hide will function, so I don't care) BUT that same exact place on the inside lip was broken again, circled in red on 2 of the pics...only this time there was no little piece for me to glue back on rattling around the inside; it's just gone.But that's fine. I sealed the rough edges of the break with some more aquarium silicone and it will still function just fine for Sarge's purposes.My smaller boy sage has the medium lairs, and he loves those, too! Definitely recommended as they provide excellent hiding places that are easily accessible; but remember the lids are pretty heavy so you never want to slam them down. Easy to clean and moist importantly, danger noodle approved 😊🐍

First, let me preface my review with the fact that I have this same hide in the large size and Pierre, my ball python, absolutely loves it.This review is more about how the item is being shipped rather than the hide itself. The extra large hide feels very well crafted (despite not withstanding the shipping process), same as the large hide that I've had for over a year. However, I've order the hide 3 times and they have been delivered broken all 3 times (see pics with dates attached to this review). At this point, I would prefer to find a seller that sells this same hide retail, or go with a different one altogether.Zilla, I'm open to other suggestions. Pierre is hoping you can come through with a solution :-D

I had the large before and my adult ball python was a tight fit and every time he flexed would knock the top off. This one has plenty of room and is built to last forever he never wants to come out.

He is in there 90% of the time.

Before it was even out of the packaging, I could hear some little broken pieces sliding around inside. A piece that is several inches long chipped off and left some sharp points. It had to be sanded down to not injure an animal. There should really be some more secure packaging, it had only some plastic wrap and the cardboard boxes. No bubblewrap or anything of that sort :(It's a shame because it is otherwise a very beautiful and hefty hide, and I like how secure it looks for whatever animal is using it.
