Across the 50 rated reptiles & amphibians products we track, the typical score is 4.6 out of 5. This one sits at 4.4, which is in the bottom quarter of the category. That does not make it a bad buy, but there are better-rated alternatives on the same shelf, so it needs another reason to earn your money.
It carries 460 ratings against a category median of 605. That is enough of a base to take the score seriously without treating it as settled.
On price it sits in the lower third of a category running from £2.30 to £26.86, where the midpoint is about £8.99. Buying at the cheap end is fine when the rating holds up; check the specifics below rather than assuming the saving is free.
