The Exo Terra Glass Terrarium is the ideal reptile or amphibian housing designed by European herpetologists. The front opening 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 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 Rocks, Waterfalls, sensors, etc. inside the terrarium. The bottom plate of the terrarium is raised to mount a substrate heater to heat a part of the extended ground surface (45 x 45cm). The extra high fixed front window is ideal for thick layers of substrates (burrowing reptiles), aquatic parts (paludarium) or to mount an Exo Terra reptile den. The natural background is in the same colour like all other Exo Terra decoration items (Water Dishes, Waterfalls, Heat Wave Rocks, etc.) and provides an extra climbing dimension. Terrarium measures: 60cm x 45cm x 45 cm (24" x 18 x 18")
I purchased this at Mounds Pet Food Warehouse in Madison Wi for my Hermit Crabs. I have 6 of them and they are HUGE. I find this is a great home for them as it is easily accessible and very simple to clean. I love the french door style doors and the fact that I don't always have to remove the lid to tidy up or feed my hermies. I would really love to have a much larger tank, perhaps twice that size to more adequately provide climbing materials and other items to help keep the poor crabs' curiosity up throught the day and night. Also a removable glass top would be a nice detail for those reptiles who need a small a tropical habitat and a small amount of ventilation. Otherwise the crabbies love it and so do I! I would definitely buy another one and tell my friends (if they were critter people) to purchase one. :)
