Mini Reptile Glass Terrarium,Front Opening Door Full View Visually Appealing Mini Reptile or Amphibians Glass Habitat

Purchased this to keep my first colony of beetles. I decided I wanted to have live plants and living soil to support the colony and for a more natural look. I dove into the world of isopods and it has been a blast learning about insect keeping and how to provide for that ecosystem. In order to conveniently accomplish this I needed a water tight base, air flow and an access point. This unit really delivers on that and has a nice aesthetic. This unit is nicer that the competitors at a cheaper price point per my research and use of this unit. I'm glad my research in advance confirmed this is the right one for my purposes and price point. Overall pros / cons: Pros: - water proof base to ensure watered soil, plants, etc stays in. This can help maintain some humidity if you seal up some vents. - Tons of vents for air flow - great if this is what you need for whatever you're housing. (see con below) - Looks great - top feeding ports (I have not utilized these myself but could be really handy if you don't want to open the entire front door) - space saving shape (as opposed to any other slanted walls on a critter box or larger framed units) Con: - Depending on your needs this could provide too much air flow. The entire top is vented with 3/4 metal mesh of high quality and 1/4 plastic venting with feeding ports. I actually wanted to maintain more humidity and my critters do not require much airflow so I covered with plastic wrap. I also needed to seal up the vents to avoid / minimize a fungus knat infestation I was fighting in my houseplants at the time. Other points: The latch is secure to the door. I did see some reviews commenting on the latch but I have not had any issues. It does take a two handed approach which if you're holding food to add to the enclosure it can be challenging but you learn to use it as is and becomes a natural action after a while.

Very cute. Perfect for what I needed it for. I grow carnivorous plants. My sun pitcher plant needs high humidity. This terrarium is perfect for it.

It arrived in perfect condition. Everything about it is perfect. I love the door. It makes cleaning and feeding so easy. I love that I don't have to stick my hand in the top and struggle to clean. The latch on the door is easy to operate. My snails have plenty of space to explore.

I've used several vivarium/terrarium setups like this in past. None of them are perfect. A few pros and cons regarding this one specifically: Pros: - Single pane of glass on the front allows for clear viewing - Solid construction and no damage during shipping - The size I needed. It's small, but perfect for my pet (orchid mantis) Cons: - Door is difficult to open. Not like I cannot open it, but it's just not ergonomic. I have to use both hands and fiddle with it for 2 seconds rather than it being natural. - Not fruit fly proof. Actually none of the competitors are either. I covered the feeding port and ventilation holes with electrical tape (black) and siliconed the seams around the door then used a razor blade to cut through the silicone so the door can move freely again. Don't worry about ventilation because there is still a huge screen on the top to allow for that. All in, I think it's one of the best on the market and certainly available with Prime shipping. I would love to see someone solve the issues mentioned above but they can be fixed or dealt with by the end user.

Fantastic for jumping spiders, plenty of room to roam and since they make their hammocks up top the front opening door is wonderful for getting them out to handle or for cleaning the terrarium. If you have a smaller one you might want to hot glue some screen door mesh to the vents up top like in my pictures, larger ones won’t be able to get out but smaller or thinner cryptus jumpers will squeeze their way out from experience. Luckily came back and was easy to get back in. Either way probably the best enclosure for these guys if that’s what you are looking for. They are extremely active and roam/hop around constantly so having this kind of room in a front opening enclosure is great! Little vents on top that open up are great for dropping food in as well, we mostly only feed them caught flies which we catch with a cup and paper against windows and let them fly in by placing the cup on the top hole. The glass I’m enclosure allows a ton of viewing room to watch the spider stalk and chase the fly around which is fun. All and all zero complaints 10/10.

Came packed in a sturdy box with plenty of protective foam. Fully assembled and ready to go. I was impressed with the quality of construction. Solid. The latch is secure, though a little awkward to open. Maybe I'm just using the wrong technique. Stranger things have happened. The access panels in the lid are handydandy, but I much prefer the greater access of the door panel. The base being watertight seems like it'd be really useful for critters needing that sort of environment. I have 2 jumping spiders. They get substrate and plants and interesting things to climb on and explore. Pretzel & Bucket have had a great time investigating their new set-ups, and I got to scratch an itch and be a little creative in designing their new homes. Not too big, not too small. The 8³ box is just perfect for my spoodz.

Perfect for my baby gargoyle gecko until he can move up to the next enclosure size. Came quickly with no cracks or anything. The front is latched to keep the critter in securely, but it's easy enough for a human to open from the outside.

Just purchased my fifth enclosure. I keep my T's in these. The enclosures are easy to keep clean and "roof top" access is pretty good. Yes, they can appear to be pricey, but so can a large made-for-the-hobby plexiglass tarantula enclosure. In fact, the latter is more expensive and it'll warp. Glass doesn't warp (or scratch). I highly recommend these Repti Zoo enclosures as they're made well, shipped securely, clean easily. No negatives to report.
