Exo Terra Glass Nano Terrarium Kit, 8 x 8 x 12 Inches | For Reptiles and Amphibians

For reference I am a serious exotic pet-keeper, and this is the absolute best enclosure I have come across. I am planning on investing in other sizes for my other pets when I can afford them. - The residents of this Nano are C. morosus walking sticks (stick bugs). They were loaded in en masse as nymphs and are now subadults, but quite large. It's hard to count them all amidst the foliage, but something like ten sticks are living in here comfortably. - The front access, top access, and mesh are invaluable. I had no idea that my sticks would spend 80% of their time on the roof, so I shudder to think how I would have used a traditional top-opening enclosure without losing sticks every time I opened it. - The doors are very secure but easy to open. - To my knowledge, no nymphs (c. 1.5") were able to get behind the backdrop, though I can see how one might be concerned; I filled the substrates a bit higher to ensure nobody could get down and behind, but mine was very well-fitted and high quality. - The size is honestly a fair bit larger than I expected it to be (I was envisioning it -- incorrectly -- as going to be about the size of a small "betta bowl" but square, and this is fantastically larger, not so "nano" at all. - This is an excellent choice, because of the verticality, for arboreal creatures. I would recommend a different size/shape for any terrestrial pets. P.S. For anyone else looking for stick maintenance, look up the Snake Discovery video on stick care. I followed her instructions fairly exactly and have a lot of very happy sticks.

Ordered the 8x8x10 terrarium for a grow out for my baby mourning geckos. Obviously only big enough to house them for a couple months but will keep them from getting lost in my main 40 gallon tank until they are big enough. Shipped quickly and was packaged very well so nothing was broken on arrival. For the price I absolutely would order again if I need another.

I really like this terrarium. It is built well, and it is designed for optimal viewing of the creatures or plants inside of it. It comes with a great removable piece of foam in the back that is painted to look natural. The foam makes it easy to stick plants or decorations into and it also has room behind it to run wires without disturbing the natural appearance of your terrarium. I am personally using this for an arboreal tarantula, and it is absolutely perfect. The huge door in the front makes it quite easy to access the inside, and the screen lid is easily removable as well. The terrarium has a waterproof base that will hold about 2 inches of substrate. I would say that this terrarium is suitable for all kinds of small reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids. It is perfect for arboreal spiders like the Avicularia genus, although a larger enclosure may be required for an adult specimen. It would also be great for poison dart frogs, or anoles. I would not however use this item for any species that burrows, as it only allows for 2 inches of substrate. This is a great purchase if you really want to have a beautiful display. It may be more expensive than a regular terrarium but I think it's well worth it.

My juvenile crestie loves it. Perfect little grow out enclosure. Looks sleek, and is pretty secure. For the money, this tank is a steal. I look forward to adding more Exoterra enclosures as he grows and will probably be upgrading my other crestie to one of these as well. I like the mesh top, hidden latch system for the door, and it just looks so cool with a few small plants and faux orchid. Very impressed for my first front open enclosure.

It looks great, good quality material. Unfortunately I'm going to have to make some diy adjustments in order for it to work for me. I plan to use this for a mantis and the metal mesh on the top is too harsh for mantis feet so I'll be removing it and using tulle instead. I wouldn't recommend using this as a paldarium because there is a space on both sides of the door where water could easily splash out and small bugs could crawl out. I'll have to do another diy rock or something to cover the holes. I also don't like how easily the slide in the back moves, I feel like it could easily let out pets accidentally. The size is perfect for insect pets. I would not recommend putting any reptile or amphibians in here if you want to keep your pet ethically. Although I'm not thrilled with the metal mesh I'm happy with the purchase. If the seller sees this I hope they take more pictures of their product because this easily could have been 5 stars if I had just known ahead of time about the metal mesh.

Perfect for 2 male hissing roaches

I love my tank! I’ve only had it for a short time but when I pulled it out the box I was so happy! It has no damage and it takes up half the space of my old tank. My other tank was on sale and costs about $10 less than this one, but the appearance is no comparison. I absolutely love the front door. It took me a second to figure out the front door and top mesh locks. They are thin plastic and I didn’t want to break them. I saw a lot of people hated the foam piece it came with, but I think it’s a nice touch. I wish it didn’t have the molding impressions because it would actually look pretty realistic otherwise. I thought it was interesting that they design the back to be hollow for tubes or wires to be fed through. I will not be using that but I like that they though of that. I’ll be using my tank for a regular land snail. I haven’t put the snail in yet because it’s laying eggs, but I think she’ll be happier in this tank because it has more ventilation. I appreciate that the bottom is glass because I can keep an eye out for eggs. All in all, I’m extremely happy with my purchase. The only con I see in my personal opinion is that the plastic pieces are cheaply made. However, I will not be accessing them often and I’m okay with being extra careful. I think for the price, this tank is really nice! Update: I have since put my snail in the tank and I’ve never seen it so active! I think the height and vent design keep the inside moist. I use a spray bottle. The water collects on the top screen, which I appreciate! The screen is also very fine, so it’s much harder for gnats to get in. My pet also enjoys climbing on the foam piece that came with the tank. The size is suitable for my snail and would accommodate more. I think more than one of these tanks would look really cool next to each other. Would definitely order another, maybe larger one in the future and I would recommend for use with animals that don’t require a lot of space. Two thumbs up from me!

I use these for all of my crested geckos in various sizes. They are very well made, very sturdy and offer easy access with the front opening door. They look amazing once you add decor and also lighting. My geckos love it and enjoy climbing all around!

este terrario es un todoterreno, muy bonito, llego muy bien protegido, lo recomiendo

I love the look of exo terra enclosures, delivered safely and pristine. I only wish the bottom was taller so it had a bit more space for substrate. I customised it and keeping a praying mantis/isopods in it
