Mid-Passage Block
Spacious Movement for Active Animals
The four-inch tunnel represents this system's most spacious interior corridor. This width matters for specific biological situations—larger individuals, gravid (egg-bearing) females, or particularly active animals that need extra movement freedom.
Not all leopard geckos are the same size. Wild populations show natural size variation based on genetics, nutrition, and environmental conditions. A habitat system should accommodate this biological reality instead of forcing animals into standardized dimensions.
The expanded diameter doesn't compromise functionality. Basalt texture remains throughout. Interior contours create irregular surfaces that challenge climbing instincts and provide mental stimulation. Animals that can navigate complex terrain show better health outcomes than those in barren environments.
Think of this like different room sizes in a house. You need bedrooms for sleeping, kitchens for eating, living rooms for gathering. Animals need varied spaces too—tight refuges for security, open passages for movement, moderate areas for transition.
The larger volume requires superior thermal insulation. Our foam-core construction maintains cool interior temperatures even when this block sits under direct heat lamp exposure. Your gecko gets safe refuge regardless of lamp placement.
Your child observes spatial preference here. Does the gecko spend more time in narrow or wide passages? What does that behavior indicate about their stress level or comfort? You're teaching scientific observation skills.
