The bottom plate of the reptile tank is raised to mount a substrate reptile heater to heat a part of the extended ground surface. The extra high fixed front window is ideal for thick layers of reptile substrates or reptile bedding (burrowing reptiles), reptile aquarium parts (Paludarium) or to mount a reptile hide den. The natural reptile background is the same color as other Exo Terra reptile décor items and provides a reptile climbing décor dimension.

Review: Superb Enclosure - For reference I am a serious exotic pet-keeper, and this is the absolute best enclosure I have come across. I am planning on investing in other sizes for my other pets when I can afford them. - The residents of this Nano are C. morosus walking sticks (stick bugs). They were loaded in en masse as nymphs and are now subadults, but quite large. It's hard to count them all amidst the foliage, but something like ten sticks are living in here comfortably. - The front access, top access, and mesh are invaluable. I had no idea that my sticks would spend 80% of their time on the roof, so I shudder to think how I would have used a traditional top-opening enclosure without losing sticks every time I opened it. - The doors are very secure but easy to open. - To my knowledge, no nymphs (c. 1.5") were able to get behind the backdrop, though I can see how one might be concerned; I filled the substrates a bit higher to ensure nobody could get down and behind, but mine was very well-fitted and high quality. - The size is honestly a fair bit larger than I expected it to be (I was envisioning it -- incorrectly -- as going to be about the size of a small "betta bowl" but square, and this is fantastically larger, not so "nano" at all. - This is an excellent choice, because of the verticality, for arboreal creatures. I would recommend a different size/shape for any terrestrial pets. P.S. For anyone else looking for stick maintenance, look up the Snake Discovery video on stick care. I followed her instructions fairly exactly and have a lot of very happy sticks.
Review: Great little tank - Ordered the 8x8x10 terrarium for a grow out for my baby mourning geckos. Obviously only big enough to house them for a couple months but will keep them from getting lost in my main 40 gallon tank until they are big enough. Shipped quickly and was packaged very well so nothing was broken on arrival. For the price I absolutely would order again if I need another.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this terrarium be appropriate for small spiders?**
A: I would say that depends on the type of spider.  My daughter had an arboreal tarantula, so the 'tall' terrarium worked very well.  But for a terrestial tarantula I'd go with a longer, shorter terrarium.

**Q: How many inches tall is the glass in between the feet of the terrarium and the front vents?**
A: I measured on the outside of terrarium.  It measured 1.5" from bottom of glass to the vents on the trim below the opening door.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Would this be good for hermit crabs?**
A: No, you need at the very least a 10 gallon for a small hermit. Add another 10-15 for each subsequent hermit depending on size. You also need substrate going up at least 3/4 of the tank since it will settle, the door makes it impossible to house a hermit. I highly suggest going to the page Hermit Crab Owners on Facebook. They are not beginner pets by any means.

**Q: Is this good for a chemleaon**
A: It would be good for a baby chameleon. However, it is hardly bigger than a shoebox standing upright.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product!
*by P***L on May 7, 2012*

I really like this terrarium. It is built well, and it is designed for optimal viewing of the creatures or plants inside of it. It comes with a great removable piece of foam in the back that is painted to look natural. The foam makes it easy to stick plants or decorations into and it also has room behind it to run wires without disturbing the natural appearance of your terrarium. I am personally using this for an arboreal tarantula, and it is absolutely perfect. The huge door in the front makes it quite easy to access the inside, and the screen lid is easily removable as well. The terrarium has a waterproof base that will hold about 2 inches of substrate. I would say that this terrarium is suitable for all kinds of small reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids. It is perfect for arboreal spiders like the Avicularia genus, although a larger enclosure may be required for an adult specimen. It would also be great for poison dart frogs, or anoles. I would not however use this item for any species that burrows, as it only allows for 2 inches of substrate. This is a great purchase if you really want to have a beautiful display. It may be more expensive than a regular terrarium but I think it's well worth it.
