For small species, this is the best option available.
I have been an Exo Terra or Zoo Med fan for many, many years. I purchased a Zilla "bow front" terrarium at a local reptile expo in early 2020 and was really happy with it's quality and how most of the common gaps/openings in the other two brands were NOT an issue with the Zilla. I recently moved a day gecko out of that tank with the intent to move mourning geckos into it and the minimal amount of "gecko proofing" I had to do was so impressive. When I purchased my Agricolae pair, I knew I only wanted a Zilla for the same reasoning. The only gaps of concern were the side of the front door that has the hinge, but I slit a length of aquarium tubing and siliconed it on and it's fine. I also used a little packing tape on the opposite top corner just to be safe, as I ran out of silicone so couldn't run a bead inside to protect another really small gap. As soon as they grow a bit, we will not have any issues and can remove those safety measures. For the mourning geckos in the larger tank, they'll stay permanently. The tank itself is sturdy, well made and attractive. The extras it comes with are nice, but not necessary for every species. I like keeping extra supplies on hand, so definitely don't mind them. I was a bit nervous about using the halogen lamp included in such a small enclosure, especially looking at the temperatures it projects achieving with it's use. I ended up buying a nano LED fixture that I'll feel much safer using. My only complaint, is I wish the door were a bit longer. The vent area could be at least a couple inches lower, while still allowing for suitable amounts of substrate and providing a nicer/fuller view inside the habitat.

Great beginner tank!
This tank is the perfect size for our juvenile crested gecko. There is good amount of space for him to grow. The set up was easy and nothing was damaged during shipping. My daughter is very impressed.

love it!!
so, unrelated to the product itself, it arrived damaged due to the way it was delivered. besides that! It's a great starter kit, doesn't come with alot of decor but the foam backdrop looks very nice and the substrate is also very nice. I used it to mix with some other stuff I had to get the results I wanted but on its own it's nice as well. comes with just about anything a beginner pet owner would want, perfect for my little crestie. great value for money, quality, etc.

Good quality but missing items
This reptile container works great for tree frogs. BUT, everything that was supposed to be included in packaging was not there. Missing was the tree log...

You can not beat this deal, seriously. Perfect for crested geckos!
Okay so first off, $109!?!? You simply can not beat this ANYWHERE. The terrarium alone is worth that much. The light it comes with unfortunately the bulb will be too hot for specifically Crested Geckos, but it is a good light and could work with numerous other reptiles and set ups. Then it comes with a hygrometer/ thermometer combo that works good. It came with a decent back-round and some substrate as well plus a feeding dish. So happy with everything! The terrarium is actually really good quality for the price point. I also actually prefer the single door now over a double door as well. I couldn’t be happier and I’ll for sure buy it again!

Very nice starter kit for the beginner
I was pleasingly surprised to find my tank came with a whole kit set up, everything from a food dish to coco fiber substrate and a thermometer. Lovely little tank to house baby frogs or tree frogs in. I embellished mine with some real plants and spray foam formations built up around natural driftwood. And a small $11 amazon water pump created a tiny waterfall for my frogs to enjoy. Tank worked out great for my idea and vision. Very pleased with it, despite my fears of it getting possibly busted in the transit, to my relief all was well. Would gladly purchase product again.

Excellent refund policy
For a 1st time reptile owner I believe this Terrarium/kit is a worthwhile purchase. I give it a 5-Star rating, because it is an adequate size/kit. The kit came with everything pictured in the advertisements (except no bulb in the light housing). It also did not come with a pictured backing. Instead it came with a green colored foam board/block. However, IF the Terrarium enclosure had been undamaged. Then I believe that I would have been satisfied with the purchase. The refund process was excellent. If I hadn't already purchased the Gecko that morning then I would have waited to get a replacement one. Luckily a local pet shop had a Terrarium available that same day which we have our Gecko housed in now. We were able to use everything that came in the original kit. Which we really appreciated. For the price, customer service and convince of delivery I believe that this is a worthwhile buy. I hope my review helps in your decision making.

I really like the accessories it came with. The 25w halogen bulb throws a lot of heat. I did find it a little expensive for what you get which is why I didn’t give it more stars. This is a nice enclosure for a small amphibian or micro reptile and would be a lavish mansion for inverts. The background looks a little cheaply made and takes up unnecessary real estate. I like the way the enclosure is put together though, with the front opening doors and good ventilation.

I can’t figure out how to contact seller. If it wasn’t for the fact that the light stopped working 3 hours after use I would of given a 5 star as it’s a beautiful little kit... if the seller could contact me and arrange to rectify the problem that would be swell.

Súper practico y bonito. Solo que lo más sano para el animal es no tenerlo encerado tanto tiempo
