Customers say

Customers praise this terrarium as an excellent value starter kit with everything needed for small pets like hatchlings, spiders, mantises, and geckos. Most appreciate the included substrate, faux plant, and hide log, noting the all-in-one setup saves time and money. Many find it perfect for juveniles and report pets are active and content. However, several report the mesh lid has gaps allowing small insects to escape, and some received units with cracked glass or broken plastic clips. Despite these concerns, most consider it a worthwhile investment for nano-sized creatures.

Spider enclosure

Jumping spider

5 months ago
Got this from my family as a gift. They got this package for our spider. I did some research and it says to get an enclosure that is side or bottom opening because when you open the top lid it destroys their hammock. Then it says to have something that is more ventilating suggesting not to use a completely glass cage. So this is all wrong yet it’s the kit for a spider. Odd

No, I do not recommend this product.

One of the best deals on Terrarium out there

Got it to house my mantis hatchlings. So far so good. The mantis babies and the flightless flies that they eat cannot get out through any of the holes. I would highly recommend it as a first terrarium because it come with all the fixings that you would need to instantly start housing any small critters (substrate, cave log, hanging fake plant). I got it on sale for $25 and would buy another when it need more space. They only thing that would improve it is if there were side glass doors. Having said that the plastic ceiling mesh door is working out pretty.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Purchase for baby bush vipers and notice the gap in between the locks are a perfect space for a escape I would not take a chance putting anything that’s small enough to live in this space is small enough to escape horrible design

No, I do not recommend this product.

Great deal for what you get, I use it for my turantula. I added some driftwood, a koi pond water dish, and a rocky background image. For lighting I just used a small clip on reading light.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Wrong dimensions online

Warning: dimensions on the product are wrong on the website. It is not 11.75 length but height. This matters if you want to try to design a bottom using bath tiles for humidity purposes.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Questions

1 - 10 of 32 Questions

Would this be good for a jumping spider?

    Does anyone recommend this for a mantis?

      Would this work for a pet garden snail?

        Is it front opening ? 

        1. No



        Can this house a hatchling chameleon?

        1. Yes!



        Could you lay the tank on its side to use for hermit crabs?

        1. No. This enclosure is way too small for hermit crabs. You may want to spend some time researching hermit crab care sheets. In particular, the Land Hermit Crab Society or Hermit Crab Association are excellent places to get care information.



        I was wondering if the Zoo med screen clips would work with this terrarium. I saw that petco sells them for $2.98.I saw that a couple of people mentioned having problems with the top and I would like to be able to use the clips that are sold extra.

        1. The tops latch into the enclosure, there's no need for an additional latch. These enclosures aren't like the older models labeled Bugariums, which just had a screen top that settled over the top of the glass, the top of this enclosure is plastic attached to the glass with a separate plastic/screen mesh lid that locks into place with a tab on each the sides.



        Can I keep a Juvenile to adult mourning gecko (only one)

        1. If it's a full sized adult yes. But I don't recommend it. The lid is held in place by 2 clips, on on each side. There is a large enough gap that your gecko may escape and definitely any fruit flies are able to get out of.



        Can this house a (Praying) Mantis?

        1. Depends on the species. You need to figure out the minimum measurement for the species you intend to keep. It also needs some minor modifications to the lid to make it safe for their feet. It should also be noted that top opening enclosures aren't recommended for mantis, but you *can* do it.



        How big are the holes in that terrarium? Just because my baby praying mantids will eat small enough food to escape what i have experienced!
