FAQs

What kind of reptiles is this terrarium suitable for?

This terrarium is ideal for chameleons, geckos (like Crested Geckos), and small frogs, particularly arboreal species such as tree frogs.

Does the terrarium come with a background?

No, the terrarium does not include a background or decorations. These must be purchased separately.

How do I clean the glass?

Wipe the glass with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

How often should I replace the substrate?

The substrate should be spot-cleaned daily and fully replaced every 2-4 weeks, depending on the reptile and setup.

Can I use this terrarium for aquatic setups?

The base is suitable for some water, making it appropriate for a paludarium setup. However, it's primarily designed for terrestrial or semi-aquatic species requiring a humid environment.

What is the purpose of the mesh top?

The mesh top promotes ventilation and allows for proper airflow within the terrarium. It also allows for the use of UVB lighting.

Where can I purchase additional accessories for my terrarium?

Accessories can be purchased at most pet stores and online retailers specializing in reptile supplies.

Troubleshooting

Door is difficult to open/close.

Check the locking mechanism for obstructions or misalignments. Ensure the door is properly seated in the frame.

Excessive condensation inside the terrarium.

Improve ventilation by adjusting the mesh lid or side panels. Reduce humidity by adjusting misting frequency or ventilation.
