Adding a hide to your vivarium isn’t just about vivarium decoration – it’s essential for your reptile’s well-being. A sturdy slate hide creates a safe, sheltered spot where your snake or lizard can escape the light and stress, mimicking their natural environment. Meanwhile, a slate basking platform placed under a lamp warms up and provides a comfortable, heat-retaining surface for basking species like bearded dragons and tortoises. Together, these hides and stones help your pets regulate temperature, reduce stress, and exhibit natural behaviours in a beautifully enriched habitat.
Handmade quality in natural slate
Our hides and basking slates are handcrafted in Somerset, UK from high-quality natural slate, ensuring each piece is as durable as it is unique. The weight of real stone means your hide stays put (no accidental tip-overs), and the stone’s rustic texture adds a realistic touch to any enclosure. Every item is finished with a protective food-safe oil for a gentle sheen and easier cleaning. You can even request custom touches – from a laser-engraved design on a hide to a personalised tortoise sign – making your setup truly one-of-a-kind. For more inspiration, explore our tortoise gifts. This attention to detail, plus ethically sourced slate and made-to-order crafting (to reduce waste), reflects our small family business values in each piece.
Unique gecko accessories & more for reptile lovers
Our slate reptile accessories are designed to delight a variety of species and their owners. Small leopard geckos and cresties will appreciate low-profile hides to sneak into, while larger pets like royal pythons or bearded dragons can enjoy spacious slate shelters that double as climbing platforms. These pieces aren’t just gecko accessories – they’re versatile additions suited for snakes, skinks, tortoises, and more. Each item arrives ready to use (no assembly needed) and packaged with care. They also make thoughtful gifts for reptile enthusiasts: a personalised hide engraved with a pet’s name or a custom slate basking spot shows you understand the love they have for their scaly friend. Warm, natural, and made with soul, this collection brings together practical pet care and artisan craftsmanship.
Perfect for: Leopard geckos, bearded dragons, corn snakes, tortoises – any reptile that enjoys a secure hiding spot or a warm basking surface. Also ideal as a unique, personal gift for the reptile keeper in your life.
Ready to gift, ready to use. Give your beloved pet (or a fellow reptile enthusiast) the comfort and style they deserve with our slate hides and basking stones – a natural upgrade that’s made with love and built to last.
