Review on 🐍 BioactiveFX 1.25 Gallon Magnetic Acrylic Terrarium: The Perfect Habitat for Reptiles, Lizards, Invertebrates, and More! by Kathleen Brooks

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Decent case, cheaply made

A lot of these acrylic cases are a bit pricey in my personal opinion, but I needed one for a small centipede I just bought. So I give 3 stars for the price but 4 stars for the quality. The vents are at the ideal height for enough substrate to accommodate terrestrial species. The lid closes well with a single magnet, but I modified the very small gap in the side that the lid slides out of (maybe 1/16 inch) by hot-gluing a strip of plastic to the lid. It probably wouldn't be necessary for other species, but I don't want to risk a 3 inch centipede finding this as an escape. Review update - 8/29/21: The footage wasn't as harsh as it first seemed. The walls have warped slightly for no reason, I don't use heating elements on or near my invertebrate enclosures. I had to wrap wire around the entire case to keep the side panels snug to allow the lid to slide properly on the rails. This product would work better if the material was a bit thicker and possibly more precise cuts/connections for a closer fit.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
