Review on 🦎 Premium Bluecoco PC Glass Reptile Terrarium Starter Kit: High-Temperature Material, Fully Transparent, Anti-Drop - Ideal for Gecko, Snake, Lizard, Turtle (Medium) by Renee Patterson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Medium sized terrarium suitable for Mantodea (Praying Mantis) or other insects and invertebrates

Medium sized terrarium Just under 5 gallons 4.91 gallons based on outside dimensions which is a good size for insects, amphibians or spiders. I was planning on keeping a few young mantises in the tank, but my ootheca (egg sac) didn't hatch over the winter, so I'll wait until spring to order a few online or check with someone outside the home. The openings at the top are too big for baby mantises and fruit flies, so I have to keep the young in other tanks until they're big enough to eat larger insects like crickets or mealworms. is waterproof so you can keep frogs or other insects that need a humid to very humid environment, but I only keep insects and invertebrates that are easier to keep in a moderately humid environment. The accessories are ok, the only thing worth keeping is the cork bark and the food bowl, I'll probably throw away the rest. As for the specification, I like that it has two openings at the top for wires or air ducts for a heat lamp or air pump. In winter I use a small heater as the house may be too cold for some non-burrowing insects. The plastic/metal top of the screen is completely sealed, so as long as the two holes for pipes or wires are covered, no less than 1/2 inch in diameter can pass through the openings on the top or sides. The upper part has three fasteners for attachment. Canopy, which is good to prevent small children from opening the canopy out of curiosity. All three clasps must be pressed to open the top, which is more difficult than some other terrariums that use magnetic clasps. There were scratches on the bottom of the terrarium from accessories that slipped during transportation and handling. You should wrap the accessory with some kind of protection so as not to scratch the plexiglass. It has a small feeding hatch that is held in place with a magnet and a spring that can be used to drop small mealworms, crickets or other food.

Pros
  • Regular Price
