REPTIZOO Mini Reptile Glass Terrarium Tank 8"x8"x12", 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.

Perfect for babies gecko

Amazing enclosure for my southern devil scorpion who is about an inch long. I'd recommend this size for most insects, young amphibians(baby toads/frogs, not suitable for adults though!), arachnids- I think this would be especially great for jumping spiders because of the front opening as they make webs at the roof of the enclosure. Too small for an reptile/hermit crab whatsoever apart from the tiny-est of young geckos/garter snakes. Perhaps okay for very small baby tarantulas but even that could be pushing it. If your planning on keeping a more tropical species in this tank you ought to cover the main(biggest) screen on top with saran wrap or something of the sort(just a tip as my scorpion also requires higher humidity). The lock can be difficult but its definitely doable, took me about a minute to figure out but was a breeze from there. The feeding doors on the roof are great for dropping in insects like crickets that could jump out the main door before it can be closed. It came in very good packaging, never received a broken tank from this company. Under the right circumstances, this is an AMAZING enclosure.

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.

Perfect size for my tree frogs. Easy to open. Love how it opens the whole way up in the front for easy cleaning
