"The Zoo Med reptile is good. It holds up well and it’s easy to clean. I saw a few reviews saying that the suctions cups didn’t want to stick but I’ve had no problems with them."
"This hammock sucks. Never sticks to the side of the wall and always falls down. I bought this for my new 120 gallon tank my beardie isn’t even in yet so it isn’t bc of him going on it. I have put it up at least 10 times and it falls each time."
Bottom Line
A practical and durable hammock for reptiles, but be prepared for potential suction cup issues. Overall, a solid option when installed correctly.
