REPTI ZOO Full Tempered Glass Black-Tinted ECO-Terrarium 48 Gallon

I'm glad my husband was around to help me with this. Like some other reviewers said, directions are very vague, but the video helped. I am very happy with it so far. I want to comment that the way they packed it for transporting is amazing. Everything was protected really well. As for the tank itself, I love the fact that it opens in the front. Makes it easy to do everything that needs to be done without having to always go through the top. I don't have to move lights to get in anymore. It's nice looking, too. I'm not sure about the black glass in the back and on the sides. I'm trying it for awhile to see how Zippy likes it. Overall, I think it's a great tank for the money.

I put it together myself in about a half hour at best, it was extremely easy and packaged very well not a chip anywhere. I really love the fact that the sides and back are black instead of clear, I think it's a great value for the price and decent quality, I would recommend. First edit: I still love it but now I have an important question and I'm not sure how to find out.... I'm wondering how much weight I can put on the bottom glass panel since it is raised on corner feet. I mean I have sand and heavy pieces of wood dragon Stone and other rocks I want to put in there but I'm really afraid about it being able to handle all that weight, it was a much thicker piece of glass than the sides I did notice that. Second question: it's not so important but I was wondering if the matte finish was supposed to go inside or out? I am very pleased to say that they responded right away and told me that it was 110 lb now I also had a question of what goes inside and out the shiny or the matte finish, well I put the matte finish in thinking it would be better for her not to see her reflection but apparently it's supposed to go out. 🤷 So last edit: I have been happy with everything from product to customer service and I'm already looking into 160 gallon for when my little girl 🦎 gets bigger 👍

Glass leaves a huge gap in the doors because there is only one track for the panels to go through in the top, and the middle of the tank is slightly bowed up. There is about 2-3 mm of space there where the glass goes, meaning that if I move the glass to the middle, I CAN PULL THE GLASS PANELS OUT. My snake has escaped from this tank because of this massive flaw. The lock does not hold the glass pieces together, it just stops someone from sliding the outermost piece to open the tank. I bought this because an acquaintance with another snake has the same tank from a couple years ago, but the glass pieces are at least a full centimeter longer than the ones with my tank. It seems that to save on cost of materials, the producers of this tank have started cutting the glass into shorter panels. I now have to tape the glass together TO THE TANK to keep my snake from escaping again. Also, while building the tank, the styrofoam left shiny microscopic fibers all over everything that I had to wipe off. There was an extra piece of glass that I can only assume is if you want to make the entrance a narrower gap, but was not listed in the instructions anywhere. My chest hurt after building it because of the fibers, so hopefully I don't get a horrible cancer later on in life! And hopefully my snake doesn't either! Don't spend your money on this. Get a tank from a reputable seller like ZooMed or Exo Terra.

This tank was easy to put together. Very sturdy. Looks amazing. Holds heat well. Our snake loves this tank.

We bought this terrarium for our sons snake we got him for Christmas. We had to add HVAC tape to the mesh lid to hold in the humidity. Once we did that, everything has been perfect. Flash forward to now, I decided to buy another for my own BP. Unfortunately, one of the locking clips on the mesh lid was broken from the box and a piece of glass was also broken. The glass was not a piece we needed so it wasn't that big of a deal. I was pretty upset about the lid though because when I went to inquire about a replacement, I learned I would have to return the entire enclosure just to get a lid replaced and that was terribly inconvenient, not to mention this item is incredibly heavy and there would be no guarantee that the new one would not also be broken and even worse. Now I have to try to locate a replacement lid on my own that will probably cost another $100+. Other than this issue, the terrarium itself has been great for both our bp's.

Came with four of eight of the plastic hinges broken on the top mesh screen doors. Hinges are plastic so expect failure of the other four if the top doors are used. The front door lock was missing completely. Instructions are minimal and do not match the project since the top screen is one piece in the instructions and two pieces in the box. The sturdiness of the project is average. All unbroken pieces were as described. Because of the four broken hinges, there are gaps in the top between the frame and the screen. The sliding glass doors function but without anything to grip are hard to get moving. Product dimensions were correct. The only tool required for assembly was included. I assembled it by myself. Putting it together was ok except it was a little difficult to slide the back piece of glass into the frame. The terrarium looks great. I used duct tape to seal of the holes left by the broken hinges. The three stars are because it is functional, just not as good as it should have been because of the broken parts and missing part. I wouldn't buy it again because I have to either return it for a full exchange when all I really need are replacements for the two top screens and the missing lock.

It was a little sketchy putting together but it’s now my favorite enclosure and I will be getting another in the near future.

Wanted to say Amazon was incredible on the delivery. I thought there was not much chance it could arrive without one broke or chipped piece of glass but it came perfect. As far as product quality, it seems solid. Looking forward to getting my 6ft boa in it tomorrow.
