These Natural Habitat Rocks we have found to be excellent choices for basking rocks, as well as for building habitat rock formations for various reptiles, amphibians and turtles.
As a basking rock, there’s enough natural porosity that although the rock gets warm accumulating heat, it doesn’t get too hot; as glazed ceramic tile or slate would.
Since these are real rocks (not cast resin or coated Styrofoam) each one is a little different.
We scrub the Natural Habitat Rocks that we use periodically in hot water, with a brush reserved for that purpose, followed by chlorhexidine.
