Biotic Humid Hide

A pocket of humidity, precisely where it is needed.

  • Creates a localised humid microclimate without raising humidity throughout the terrarium
  • Supports natural shedding and voluntary moisture access
  • Enclosed resting chamber offers concealment and a greater sense of security
  • Removable lid gives quick access to the upper moisture chamber
  • Perforated internal tray separates the damp medium from the resting area
  • Smooth, non-porous, dishwasher-safe construction simplifies cleaning

The Exo Terra BIOTIC Humid Hide creates a localised humid microclimate inside the terrarium when prepared with a suitable damp medium such as sphagnum moss. Its enclosed lower chamber gives reptiles and amphibians a secure place to rest while choosing when to seek additional moisture—particularly useful during shedding and for species that benefit from a humid retreat.

Lift the removable lid to refresh the medium without disturbing the rest of the enclosure. The perforated internal tray keeps the damp material separate from the animal’s resting area while allowing moisture to move into the hide. Smooth, rounded surfaces make routine care straightforward, and the low biomorphic form settles naturally into planted, tropical or arid layouts while coordinating with the wider BIOTIC collection. Position the hide within the species-appropriate thermal gradient, away from the hottest basking area, and keep the medium damp rather than saturated.

Biomorphic by Design

The BIOTIC Humid Hide turns a practical moisture chamber into a calm, biomorphic shelter. Its softened outer shell and flowing perimeter are shaped around the removable lid and enclosed retreat below. Inside, the integrated cellular support grid takes cues from natural cell structures and wing venation, allowing technical function to become part of the form. The result feels grown rather than made and connects naturally with the wider BIOTIC collection.

Why do I need the Exo Terra BIOTIC Humid Hide?

The Exo Terra BIOTIC Humid Hide is a reptile humid hide that creates a localised humid retreat when filled with a suitable moisture-retaining medium, such as damp sphagnum moss. Its enclosed chamber helps retain moisture and can support normal shedding for species that benefit from periodic humidity. The removable lid makes monitoring, refreshing the medium and cleaning easier.

Creates a localised humid microclimate

The Exo Terra BIOTIC Humid Hide creates a localised humid microclimate when prepared with damp moss or another suitable moisture-retaining medium. This gives reptiles and amphibians voluntary access to higher humidity without raising moisture levels across the whole enclosure, allowing the animal to select a suitable humidity zone within the terrarium’s thermal gradient.

Provides a secure, enclosed humid retreat

The Exo Terra BIOTIC Humid Hide combines an enclosed shelter with a localised humidity zone when used with a suitable damp medium. Its covered form limits visual exposure and gives reptiles or amphibians a defined place to withdraw, providing a secure humid retreat without making the entire terrarium uniformly humid.

Supports the natural shedding process

The Exo Terra BIOTIC Humid Hide supports the natural shedding process when filled with damp moss or another suitable substrate that helps soften old skin. The selectable humid zone gives reptiles access to additional moisture without making the full enclosure wetter. Keep the substrate damp rather than saturated and follow species-specific humidity requirements.
