Great for small arboreal species
Date: August 7, 2009
"We got this for our baby carpet python and he loves it! Makes a great basking place for small snakes that love to climb. Fits perfectly in a 20 gallon tank with plenty of room for other accessories like a water dish and a hide. We have found it to be very sturdy because sometimes he doesn't want to let go of it and we have to take the whole thing out with him on top!"

Good For Small Lizards, Looks Cool Too
Date: June 12, 2009
"I recently bought this decor, and it looks really nice in my Japalura Banana Split Mountain Dragons' terrarium. Right now they're juveniles, so the branches are perfect for holding the little guys (they're only about 2 1/2 inches each; that's excluding their tails), but I'd imagine that I'd need to get something larger for when the lizards are larger. So, to sum it all up: it looks nice, and if you're using it for small to medium-small sized lizards, then it'll do an exceptional job."

perfect for small snakes
Date: March 4, 2009
"i got this for my baby boa and he loves it! he'd rather be climbing on it than against his heating pad so i actually have to take it out at night so my snake will keep warm by the heating pad. it is a little small for bigger snakes but its very cool and real looking because it has mulitple levels and holes so the snakes can explore. mine actually spent like an hour going thru every hole and checking out every inch of it. also perfect for snakes when they are shedding. definately would like to get a bigger one when my snake gets bigger."

Only for small!
Date: May 28, 2008
"I really like the way these "branches" look. And they are pretty sturdy and water proof. I like using fake decor in reptile cages that need humidaty because the real stuff rots. My only prob with this is it's really small. It's great for corns or kings, but only baby pythons. It's pretty short and a little wide, easilly fits into lower cages like a 20gallon long. I just wish for the price it was bigger.
Has a yellow-brown base, and brown and green accents. Has little fake leaves painted on too. Looks good in jungle settings.

Not Worth it
Date: February 19, 2008
"I ordered 3 of these for my corn snakes and 2 of them came broken! The third broke while in the cage with my snake! I bought them on recommendation from the other buyers but am very disappointed in them. They did look nice and serve a purpose if they didn't break at the slightest touch!"

Very Good Product
Date: September 27, 2007
"It's true--the Kritterz Basking Branches come in a bunch of different sizes, perfect to match your reptile. I have a crested gecko, and this is the perfect new addition to her cage. It fits right in--it actually looks real! The branches are all different sizes and textures, so my little crestie can have her choice of what to climb on. Very easy to wash, too...!!!"

My young boas love these!

"I have 2 boas that are less than a year old and they love these! They either wrap themselves around one of the branches or sprall out between them. Nice and sturdy."

Take Your Pets Size In Account
Date: December 6, 2005
"The appearnece of this product is very nice, but please keep in mind the size and energy of your pet. I bought it for my bearded dragon, and she likes to use it to bask on, but the branches seem kind of small for her, and it's kind of tall for a bearded dragon- she has to hop on it from another piece of furniture! I'd recommend it mainly for an iguana, or another tree dwelling reptile, but for a more earthbound reptile, like a beardie or a ghecko, I'd get something shorter and wider. :)"
