Zilla Tropical Reptile Vertical Starter Kit with Mini Halogen Lighting (ECOM)

I've ordered 2 of these now and they're great for baby/juvenile crested geckos. Did have to buy a some decor to fill it out but for the price, you can't beat it. The kit included a heat lamp, thermometer/hydrometer and 2 pucks of substrate. Any other brand terrarium of this size will cost more than this kit and won't include the extras. I have noticed that the humidity falls a bit faster than my ExoTerra. Not a huge issue though, I just mist these a little more heavily.

This summer our local tree frogs decided to lay their eggs in a pond that had been emptied (with some water remaining on the bottom) to move and set up elsewhere. The tadpoles put all that on hold. With an air stone and some tadpole food, we raised probably 100 tadpoles into froglets (and see them now as frogs). I wanted to leave this as a natural space where I wouldn't interfere and what would happen would happen, then tragedy struck midway through Spetember. Water creatures found the tadpole pond and screamed "buffet!". They would kill the tadpoles or maim them. It was horrifying. I'd fish out those creatures daily and assist the tadpoles and froglets that had lost a limb the night before. Long story short... one froglet with three legs must have recognized the convenience of having a human bring food.... She refused to leave and would climb onto my hand if it drew near. The need for a terrarium arose. On with the review: Arrived in perfect shape, easy to put together and looks and feels sturdy. Both the top and the side open for the safety of the froglet. The water proof bottom supports a future water feature. I love this mini halogen lamp- it's perfect for a froglet. She can choose to get closer or move away once I have some plants and vines inside. The little ceramic bowl that came as part of the kit, is also perfect and well made. Adds a cute touch that is functional for a tree frog as is the styrofoam backing. She is climbing up and down like a champ already. Good exercise. The coconut fiber substrate is safe and easy to use. When her human brings her food she can eat directly on the substrate with no digestive worries. Overall I'm highly satisfied. I agonized over this purchase because I didn't want all of the added "stuff" thinking it just added to the price tag (which is excellent for this terrarium) but it turns out it is all well made and functional and provides a nice base from which to customize for the inhabitant. Gave me a great introduction to the basics so I can take it from here and give her hideouts and water for humidity. Our 3-legged tree froglet will do well here her entire life and I fully expect this enclosure to be her castle for a lifetime. She sure seems to feel comfortable here.

Perfect for small animals like anoles, green tree frogs or maybe one young white's tree frog. Does not come with any greenery or decor. Does not come with any bark like shown in the image. The food/water dish is hilariously too small to be of any real use. Still 5 stars though because this kit is cheaper than buying a lone terrarium of the same size.

This item arrived quickly and without damage. We purchased additional accessories, but feel like it was a good value, and more attractive than the standard open top tank. It was purchased for our sons created gecko.

I got it in a well manner and ever since I've had it which has been a while now a few months I believe and it's been outstanding probably one of the best things I've ever had

Bought this for my daughter because she wanted a lepeord gecko for her birthday. This was priced almost doubled at petco. It was delivered on time with car. Everything included was in great condition.

I have two green anoles. they are very small still and this terrarium is perfectly sized for them. The only thing I didnt like is the foam background is not flush with the glass so the lizards and the crickets were able to slip behind it.

Its upright that has door on front side with lock. My grandson loves it for his new lizards!! It comes with everything!!!

Perfect with all the pieces needed ; easy to assemble; and super fast shipping

after waiting 2 weeks was stuck at the facility never shipped wallmart took care of us .got a refund
