Review on 🦎 Enhance Your Reptile's Home with Carolina Custom Cages Double Arch Tree Background for 36Lx18Wx18H Terrarium by Jeanie Escobedo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Shorter than expected

Carolina Custom Cages Reptile Habitat Terrarium Background 36Lx18Wx18H makes an attractive backdrop. I used it for my 40 gallon Zoo Med ReptiHabitat terrarium which measures 36 x 18 x 18 but only needs a 35 1/2 x 17 x 17 1/2 backdrop to encase the glass part. I would give this backdrop 5 stars but it was expensive considering it was shorter than expected. Although I wanted something 1/2" shorter than the product description, it still ended up about 1/2" short. I had to order a 48Lx18Wx18H backdrop (although it's even more expensive) to fully wrap it. Of course I have to trim it, but it should completely cover the terrarium. This makes me wonder if the terrarium sold by the same manufacturer is shorter than the product description. Update: my bearded dragon can still reflect well on the glass when I put this background around the glass of the terrarium outside. Instead I chose to move it inside as this background needs to be moisture resistant (I'll find out for sure). If you place the backdrop on the inside, it will be a size suitable for a terrarium (it's short on the outside) or slightly longer depending on how you attach it to the glass.
