Leopard gecko on basalt Base Block
Citadel System

Your gecko doesn’t need a prettier hide.
It needs a warmer one.

Volcanic basalt. Engineered thermal mass. Built for how leopard geckos actually regulate body temperature.

01

Ceramic is heavy. Plastic is cold. Rock is thermal engineering.

Leopard geckos thermoregulate through belly contact with warm surfaces. Not air. Not light. Every hide on the market ignores this. We didn’t.

We didn’t guess.
We read the papers.

Crushed volcanic basalt bonded in bio-based EcoPoxy resin. High thermal mass stores heat and releases it slowly through substrate contact — replicating the Afghan highland terrain these animals evolved in.

The Collection

One system. Infinite configurations.

Every block connects. Stack, extend, rearrange — the tunnel system stays intact no matter how you build it.

Citadel System

Modular basalt-lined blocks sized for adult leopard geckos. Each piece interlocks to form continuous thermal tunnel networks — reconfigurable as your enclosure evolves.
