## Description

Exo Terra Glass Terrarium Reptile Kit is the ideal amphibian or reptile enclosure designed by European herpetologists. The reptile habitat’s front doors allow easy access for maintenance and feeding. A specially designed lock will prevent escape and the doors can be opened separately. The full screen top ventilation allows UVB reptile light and infrared penetration and is completely removable for easy access while decorating or cleaning. In the back of the screen cover are 5 closable wire or tube inlets on both sides to install Heat Wave reptile rocks, reptile waterfalls, sensors, etc. inside the terrarium. The bottom plate of the reptile tank is raised to mount a substrate reptile heater to heat a part of the extended ground surface. The extra high fixed front window is ideal for thick layers of reptile substrates or reptile bedding (burrowing reptiles), reptile aquarium parts (Paludarium) or to mount a reptile hide den. The natural reptile background is the same color as other Exo Terra reptile decor items and provides a reptile climbing dimension. This reptile cage terrarium is 12 x 12 x 12 inches (30 x 30 x 30 cm). Exo Terra has designed and developed a wide range of reptile accessories, terrarium decor, and terrariums for a variety of reptiles and amphibian pets, including bearded dragons, geckos, snakes, crested geckos, turtles, chameleons, leopard geckos, lizards, and frogs. Some of the reptile supplies include: reptile heat lamps, reptile heating pads, reptile thermostats, reptile humidifiers, reptile mister, reptile thermometer, reptile water bowls, reptile Fogger, reptile lights, reptile heat bulbs, reptile plants (fake plants), reptile vines, reptile tank accessories, reptile tank decor, reptile heat mat, reptile lamps, reptile tweezers, reptile hides and caves, reptile food, reptile calcium, reptile light fixtures, reptile basking lights, reptile caves, reptile feeding tongs, reptile food dishes, reptile dropper, and reptile starter kits.

Review: Great quality, HIGHLY recommended. - I bought the small tall exo terra terrarium planning to get an arboreal (climbing) gecko. I ended up getting the cheaper, easier leopard gecko which is a non arboreal species so it did not need the height this terrarium provides, but despite my changed decision this terrarium is still an amazing house for my pet. here is a list of pros and cons PROS Great ventilation system in the sides and top allowing fresh air to enter the terrarium freely Durable screen top made of metal that can support a heat light and any other things you need to keep out of the way. Quality glass doors that do not wiggle whatsoever and have a solid lock at the bottom. (they also have holes for a combination lock to fit through) Top panel includes a wire escape incase you need a humidifier or any other thing that has a cord that allows you to run the wires through small holes in the top (these holes are too small for any live food to escape through) Background looks great and makes the enclosure look neat and tidy Bottom section under the vents is water proof which is great for amphibians Has small support legs allowing you to stick heating pads to the bottom if needed. Is very spacious and allows for a multitude of decoration options. The design looks soooooo nice and the doors are just something you find with other brands. (looks the best if you clean it regularly) Shipping was good and package came on time with absolutely zero damage CONS The terrarium does not hold humidity well. (this problem can be fixed with an electric humidifier.) Background is made out of Styrofoam which may be a problem for some people Can be hard to find a floor mat to fit these dimensions This terrarium is pretty heavy and I would suggest you put it on a sturdy surface and not too high up (if this fell on someone it could be bad) overall this is a very high quality terrarium and is completely worth the money. Some accessories that you'll need to come along with this are mat/substrate, food and water dishes, heat lamp, decorator plants, vitamin supplements to sprinkle on your pets food, thermometer and humidity gauge, source of humidity (depending on your pet) and a heating pad (optional but recommended). My gecko loves this place (I think) and has never had any problems with it. Compared to terrariums I have had in the past this is the BEST ONE BY FAR. In some of my past terrarium experiences I've had problems with cracks and precipitation build up, this was not a problem with exo terra. Exo Terra has not disappointed and I will continue to by their products. A few last recommendations would be to settle on a pet before you buy and do your research to know what size and shape is best for your pet (Exo Terra is always a safe option if you want something you know is going to last)
Review: Great terrarium - This is a well-designed, quality terrarium. From the feet at the base to the screened cover, everything about this terrarium is great. The doors open up nice and wide, and you can just open up one or the other to keep your critter inside. You can easily reach every corner of the terrarium through the doors. The cover comes off easily, but when locked in place is nicely secure. Air flow seems good, not too much, not too little. The background is just a piece of painted/coated styrofoam. I initially thought I would take it out and do something different for the background, but it actually doesn't look bad and my gecko likes to climb on it. It being styrofoam is actually a bonus because it's easy to work with. I attached some plant pots to it, and it was easy to cut into to set those, so it worked out. Overall this is a well-made, well-designed enclosure. Highly recommended, even if you dump the background and use something else.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: we are looking into purchasing a leopard gecko. do the crickets really get out of the terrarium? and does it come with a heater?**
A: leopard gecko: HEAT: you need, absolutely a must, FLOOR HEAT, for the belly, necessary for digestion, etc., at 90F, covering 1/3 of the bottom of the tank. the only reason to use any other heat is to maintain about 70F ambient temperature in the rest, but this should not be light, as light stresses them & they don't thrive or come out much. & no, the red or blue "night" bulbs unfortunately do not work, as the CAN see this spectrum well. one hide should be on the heat. one moist hide should be half on the heat to maintain humidity, for proper shedding, otherwise you lose toes & tail tips when lingering skin dries, contracts, & inhibits blood flow. & then one hide on the cool end.

FOOD: feed them dubia roaches. crickets are less nutrition, noisy, can bite/wound/infect the gecko if left around, & escape. i just take Figaro out for feeding time, put him in his baby tub (shoebox sized), & add his food. that way i know exactly what he eats each time, & there are no excess food items hanging around in his home, escaping, adding waste, laying eggs, annoying him, or dying & blooming bacteria. i don't have to look for them or guess, & they don't leave vitamin powder behind, which also harbors bacteria. if you want a longer, casual,  free-snacking schedule, a dish of mealworms works inside, as they stay put. dubia roaches are clean, silent, hold three days' worth of vegetables & nutrition in their guts for him instead of one, don't fly, can't climb smooth surfaces, & don't bite. screw crickets! feeding in the baby tub is super convenient all around, plus i can partially cover it with a towel, as their eyes are made for hunting in the dark. anything uneaten, or loose vitamin powder just gets tossed right back into the insect holding box, not messing up his enclosure.

**Q: Would this tank (12x12x12) be good for a baby corn snake? Or would the next size up be better?**
A: I would recommend the 18x18x18.  Something I've been told is that your snake tank should be at least as long as your snake.  He might be a baby now, but in another 6-12 months, the 12x12x12 is gonna be too small and you'll have to buy a new one.

**Q: Regarding the exo terra mini (Wide) what are the dimensions of the bottom underneath the door? Looking to make the bottom part a "tank".**
A: Exo Terra shows a picture for each size tank they sell that shows the height of the waterproof area. The 12x12x12 tank shows 5 inches. The 18x18x18 tank shows 7 inches. If you are using the tank for hermit crabs, only the larger tank will satisfy the minimum recommendations for hermit crabs to safely molt. Hermit crabs need a minimum of 6 inches of substrate to safely molt and for protection from crabs on the substrate surface.

**Q: will this terrarium work for a bearded dragon?**
A: No. Bearded Dragons grow very fast and a juvenile would outgrow any of these tank sizes within a year. I learned the hard way and had to buy a couple of tanks in the first year I got mine. A long 20 gallon terrarium accommodated her for maybe 6-8 months and after that I upgraded her to a 50 gallon. The basking rock, food dish and water dish (which they love) take up a lot of space too so that's something to consider also.
