REPTIZOO Mini Reptile Glass Terrarium Tank 8"x8"x8", Front Opening Door Full View Visually Appealing Mini Reptile or Amphibians Glass Habitat

Came packed in a sturdy box with plenty of protective foam. Fully assembled and ready to go. I was impressed with the quality of construction. Solid. The latch is secure, though a little awkward to open. Maybe I'm just using the wrong technique. Stranger things have happened. The access panels in the lid are handydandy, but I much prefer the greater access of the door panel. The base being watertight seems like it'd be really useful for critters needing that sort of environment. I have 2 jumping spiders. They get substrate and plants and interesting things to climb on and explore. Pretzel & Bucket have had a great time investigating their new set-ups, and I got to scratch an itch and be a little creative in designing their new homes. Not too big, not too small. The 8³ box is just perfect for my spoodz.

I'm using this for a jumping spider. It works fine for a medium to adult size, but the gap between the door and it's wall it just wide enough that a small enough spider could slip through if it wanted to, or some gnats. The gnats and or flightless fruit flies can also get through the screen on the top, so watch out if you plan on using them for feed. Then there is a tiny hole in the top on the back side that could let something like a small tube go through, and most any jumping spider could likely get through this. I blocked mine up, and it hasn't been an issue.

The unit is sturdy and very well made, and it arrived in excellent condition. It was well packaged and padded correctly. I recommend blocking the little gaps with bits of foam to prevent escape, if you have something that could possibly squeeze through (like a jumping spider). The door is nice and snug, but the latch is rather difficult to operate. As others have said, it requires both hands to open it. I do appreciate the holes in the latch for a twist tie, zip tie, or small padlock- that’s a nice touch, and I like the added security. I recommend getting a small sheet of glass or acrylic to lay across the top (leave a gap for airflow) to help keep the humidity consistent. Otherwise, it tends to dry out pretty quickly. I’m very happy with my purchase. I bought this to make a mini terrarium, and also house a pet jumping spider. It’s perfect for my needs.

Amazing enclosure for my southern devil scorpion who is about an inch long. I'd recommend this size for most insects, young amphibians(baby toads/frogs, not suitable for adults though!), arachnids- I think this would be especially great for jumping spiders because of the front opening as they make webs at the roof of the enclosure. Too small for an reptile/hermit crab whatsoever apart from the tiny-est of young geckos/garter snakes. Perhaps okay for very small baby tarantulas but even that could be pushing it. If your planning on keeping a more tropical species in this tank you ought to cover the main(biggest) screen on top with saran wrap or something of the sort(just a tip as my scorpion also requires higher humidity). The lock can be difficult but its definitely doable, took me about a minute to figure out but was a breeze from there. The feeding doors on the roof are great for dropping in insects like crickets that could jump out the main door before it can be closed. It came in very good packaging, never received a broken tank from this company. Under the right circumstances, this is an AMAZING enclosure.

Thought it was going to be too small but it ended up being the perfect size for our praying mantis. Swinging glass door is smooth and locks really nice. Can be a little rough to open sometimes, button is a little small. Very solid too, bottom makes the perfect mini pond. Would buy again

Perfect size I needed for a small space. Love this tank! Thankfully no issues with the latch as some have reported. Easy and smooth to open! Great looking tank!

Perfect for two of my younger tarantulas. Both came preassembled in nice packaging, no chips or cracks, just the tiniest little scratch on the back of one but it didn't matter anyway because I cover the backs in black tape to see the spiders better. Keep in mind this size of terrarium (8x8x8) is only suitable for small invertebrates and maybe micro geckos, nothing else. I’d be hesitant using it as a grow-out enclosure for other reps too, just because it’s very small. Still great for what I needed, they stack very nicely as well.

Purchased this to keep my first colony of beetles. I decided I wanted to have live plants and living soil to support the colony and for a more natural look. I dove into the world of isopods and it has been a blast learning about insect keeping and how to provide for that ecosystem. In order to conveniently accomplish this I needed a water tight base, air flow and an access point. This unit really delivers on that and has a nice aesthetic. This unit is nicer that the competitors at a cheaper price point per my research and use of this unit. I'm glad my research in advance confirmed this is the right one for my purposes and price point. Overall pros / cons: Pros: - water proof base to ensure watered soil, plants, etc stays in. This can help maintain some humidity if you seal up some vents. - Tons of vents for air flow - great if this is what you need for whatever you're housing. (see con below) - Looks great - top feeding ports (I have not utilized these myself but could be really handy if you don't want to open the entire front door) - space saving shape (as opposed to any other slanted walls on a critter box or larger framed units) Con: - Depending on your needs this could provide too much air flow. The entire top is vented with 3/4 metal mesh of high quality and 1/4 plastic venting with feeding ports. I actually wanted to maintain more humidity and my critters do not require much airflow so I covered with plastic wrap. I also needed to seal up the vents to avoid / minimize a fungus knat infestation I was fighting in my houseplants at the time. Other points: The latch is secure to the door. I did see some reviews commenting on the latch but I have not had any issues. It does take a two handed approach which if you're holding food to add to the enclosure it can be challenging but you learn to use it as is and becomes a natural action after a while.

Perfect size love it easy to access to create a living environment for my tarantula

Perfect for babies gecko
