Just the ticket for small to med amphibians and some reps.
By Mark
Having kept amphibians and reptiles for 40 years and having owned two pet stores, the last one a reptile specialty store, I can say this product is about as close to perfect as you can get for small to medium amphibians and small reptiles. It is very attractive, very easy to decorate (especially with the cork tile backgrounds made by the same manufacturer), super easy to maintain with the front opening door....sooo much better than going in the top of traditional aquariums. The package has great directions for how to make a really great waterfall terrarium with a completely hidden pump. If you do it with zoo med products plan on spending about another $70 - $100 dollars and you'll end up with a nearly maintenance free and super attractive environment. I bought the tile background and the compact florescent light made to match. I already had everything else I needed and it's hard to overstate how much of an improvement this is both in looks and labor over the small hex tank I had my tree frogs in before. The glass all around and the screen top make a perfect mix between maintaining humidity but having enough ventalation to prevent clouding and moisture build up on the glass. This size is great for a couple of tree frogs or several poison dart frogs, a day gecko or two, a smooth green snake, a couple of anoles, etc. For something like a jackson's chameleon or other modest sized lizards or smaller arbreal snakes the larger size is more appropriate. Because of the screen top you can put a heat lamp and/or UV florescent lamp on top if necessary....but use a very small heat lamp if needed. Hope you enjoy this as much as my frogs and I am....and my GF, she's thrilled with how modern, clean and attractive this new cage looks!

Works well for what I need
By Andrew
This item was bought to replace an Exo-terra terrarium of the same dimensions (12x12x18"). I had a custom-made background with a waterfall. One day, the glass in the exo-terra cracked and started leaking everywhere.The Zoo-med, although I haven't had it for more than a few weeks, is working really well. The single door operates well. I had to take the door off without breaking it so I could place the background from the old terrarium into the new one. The door went back on without breaking as well. I was expecting the plastic knobs that hold it there to snap off, but they're actually really sturdy. I was surprised.I could possible see in the future the plastic latch that holds the door shut breaking. Aside from that, this terrarium is sturdy, doesn't leak (there is about 2-3" of water on the bottom), and it's pretty. The exo-terra had double doors in the front that interrupted the view, but this model doesn't.Great for a tropical terrarium, and great for water features beyond the tacky "fake rock with water pump in it." If you've got the time, you can really make this model look nice.

Exactly What it Says
By Lindsey Wallace
The description says it all. This is a well built terrarium for small reptiles and amphibians. The front hinges open giving you wide access to your creatures, but also safely locks and even has room for a padlock. The top screen lid is also easily removable, and looks like it may have small removable spaces for tubing or light cords. The bottom is water tight so you can create your own tiny pond or even a water fall (which I intend to do). There are a lot of diverse options for making a more realistic terrarium habitat. I think this is an excellent product and I use it to keep two adult crested geckos.
