They offer the best viewing for your animal; they are suitable for damp and humid conditions, are hygienic and easy to clean. Glass also maintains the correct heat gradient more safely and easily-maintaining the correct heat gradient is critical to a reptile's and amphibian's well-being as they use external heat sources in their environment to regulate their body temperatures.
In the wild these animals move around within their habitat (from sunlight to shade, or from above ground to burrows, for example) to regulate their body temperature. If they get too cool, their metabolism slows (and in conditions that are too hot or too cold, they enter states of inactivity or hibernation). Maintaining the appropriate temperature is vital to bodily functions such as digestion.
It is important to provide the proper temperature conditions in order for the animal to grow and thrive. For many reptiles, it is not simply a matter of providing a constant temperature, however. They require a thermal gradient, or a range of temperatures from a high end to a low end.
Thus, the animal can move to a higher temperature or lower temperature to suit its needs at any given time. Convenient Feeding Hole The pre-drilled hole specially designed for feeding easily. Well ventilated with removable mesh top The removable top mesh screen provides plenty of ventilation for optimum airflow, and allows full spectrum, UVB and IR light penetration.
Slot for wire in-out The slot on the side is good for wire management. Sliding Top Screen The top is easy sliding for feeding and clean. Easy laminating for multiple terrariums overlapping The terrarium is easy for overlapping to keep more reptile pets.
Water-tight base The terrarium is water-tight up to the hinged doors, which allows for a “water pool” inside the terrarium, or a natural water feature for an amphibian.
