The cholla cactus is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, specifically the Sonoran Desert. The cholla is a tree-like plant with one low-branching trunk that grows to heights of 4 m or 12 ft. They grow in thick bushes, forming the perfect hide-out for many reptile species. Many species live around these bushes and seek refuge when threatened by predators or to escape from the hot desert sun. The skeleton is a great hiding spot for many reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates!
The Cholla is a protected species listed in CITES Appendix II, limiting the trade of the natural plant. The Exo Terra Cholla Skeleton offers the perfect sustainable alternative.
