Reptile Terrarium - Amphibian Tank Starter Kit,12 * 8 * 6 in Eco Rainforest Feeding Box, Amphibian Feeding Box, Suitable for breeding Lizards, Turtles, Chameleons, Snakes, Jumping Spiders

First, ignore the text description. Aside from the fact that some of it is pure gibberish, parts are dead wrong: it's acrylic, not glass, for example, and it is absolutely not suitable for anything described as a "giant lizard" -- I'm assuming something like, say, an adult green iguana, which wouldn't fit in there if you stuffed it. And it doesn't have nearly the ventilation for a chameleon, nor the vertical space for any treefrogs. I'd be reluctant to use external heating with this, also.Despite all of this, it's an excellent container for small, horizontal creatures. It would be suitable for a juvenile leopard gecko, for instance, or a young milk snake, or any of a number of invertebrates -- I'm considering moving my pet scorpion into mine. It doesn't have a locking lid, but a twist-tie through the vent holes would suffice.This brings us to the two major features: the vent holes, and the lid.Those vent holes are on both the top edges of the sides (one row) and over the entire lid (as seen in the pictures). I'd actually contemplated using it for some of my isopods, but the ventilation is *too* good for creatures which, in the wild, live under rocks.The lid slides in grooves, as expected, but the really excellent part is what holds it closed: the far end slides into a slot and is held in place by neodymium magnets. It snaps snugly in place, giving the occupant no purchase to pry it open. I wouldn't be reluctant to put a milk snake or king snake (a young one!) in there, and they're notorious escape artists.It is, by the way, almost exactly the size of a Walmart single-pair transparent shoebox -- I happen to have it sitting on top of one right now, because its opaque bottom is giving some shade to the isopods in the box underneath. It's a better fit on a shelf than the swing-front cages from major vendors, not to mention being cheaper. In short, I really like this one! I'm probably biased by the fact that I have a number of pets that are happy at room temperature and don't need vertical space, but still, it's a very good little critter cage, especially its lid closure system.

I got this enclosure to house my beautiful Arizona Blonde tarantula, Dolly. At first it was great and everything I needed, with sufficient size and ventilation, but after opening and closing it a few times, I noticed that the two ledges forming the slot for the lid to slide into and close with magnets was beginning to fail. The top one was collapsing, meaning that I had to manually hold it up in order to slide the door under it. This created additional stress for my tarantula and almost required a third hand since I could no longer fully shut the enclosure quickly. Anyone with a tarantula knows that it’s important to be able to do that! I think that based on my experience, it’s possible the magnets are powerful enough to pull apart functional aspects of the design.I ended up rehousing her in a branded enclosure of a similar size with strong magnets and strong acrylic. It costs about three times as much as this one, so if you’re considering a home for your reptile or insert, this isn’t awful, but the top lip of the receiving magnet may well collapse on you.

I was not okay with this.The side broke very easily.I was trying to put my dirt.In it and all of a sudden, the side just broke off.I didn't know where so I really can't give a good review to that.It could have been faulty of the glue.

The media could not be loaded. I done know if it’s shipping or what, but the lid fell inside and a piece broke off, and now one of the corners are split at the seams,I have not got to use it straight out of the box it was broke. Disappointing!!!!!!

This enclosure is better than many others in that it comes assembled and the acrylic is sealed so it’s water tight.There’s nothing fancy about it, but it’s good for temporary containment for small reptiles, amphibians, or rodents. For permanent housing, it’s really only appropriate for inverts. I got it to use with a tarantula.The ventilation is pretty good, with holes around the top and all over the lid. Note that small live food or bugs in general can fit through the holes (baby crickets or cockroaches for sure).I would add that while the pieces are glued together and water proof, I wouldn’t use this to hold water, it’s too flimsy and likely to fail for that purpose.

I have a variety of critters that live in these types of cages, ranging from tarantulas, to rolly poly isopods, to young snakes. This is my favorite design. The acrylic is protected and crystal clear. The holes are nicely spaced and easily covered if less airflow is needed. The lid slides open and closed and the magnets hold it in place securely enough that even the most focused snake hasn't been able to push it open.The thing to be careful about is that heat pads and lamps aren't really a good idea with them so whatever is kept in them needs to be happy with room temperature and limited/filtered light. Another thing to watch is setting up anywhere that they receive light from a window. The temperature in them can spike quickly. Lastly, these aren't designed to hold a lot of weight. I found that more than a couple inches of soil and the walls would start to bow out. I'm sure eventually they would break. The other time I had trouble was when I tried stacking them. But as long as these issues are avoided, these are great for me.
