Eco Tech Cube Terrarium - 30 x 30 x 30cm - In Store Pickup Only

Dimensions:

• Metric: 30 cm (length) x 30 cm (width) x 30 cm (height)
• Imperial: Approximately 12 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches

Key Features:

• True Cube Shape: The equal dimensions (30x30x30cm) make it a "cube" terrarium, providing balanced space for animals that might utilize both horizontal and some vertical space.
• All Glass Construction: Offers crystal-clear, 360-degree viewing of the inhabitants and their habitat. This also makes it easy to clean and maintain.
• Sliding Mesh Top: The entire top is a mesh screen that typically slides open. This design provides excellent ventilation, which is crucial for preventing humidity buildup and promoting good air circulation. The mesh also serves as a convenient surface for placing heating and lighting fixtures.
• Magnetic Locking Latch: Many Eco Tech terrariums feature a magnetic lock on the mesh lid, providing a secure closure to prevent escapes while still allowing for easy access for feeding and maintenance.
• Feeding Port: Often includes a small, closable feeding port on the top, allowing you to feed your animals without having to open the entire lid, minimizing escape risks.
• Cable Access Hole: A dedicated port or cut-out in the back or side allows for easy routing of cables for heaters, probes, pumps, or other equipment.
• Stackable Design: The sturdy construction often allows these terrariums to be safely stacked, which is useful for hobbyists with multiple smaller enclosures.

Common Uses/Suitable Inhabitants:

This 30x30x30cm cube size is quite versatile for small animals that appreciate both floor space and a moderate amount of climbing room. It's ideal for:

• Spiders: Particularly medium-sized tarantulas (juveniles to adults of smaller species), and other terrestrial or semi-arboreal spiders.
• Scorpions: Most terrestrial scorpion species.
• Small Geckos: Species like small crested geckos (especially juveniles, though a taller enclosure is better for adults), small gargoyle geckos, or smaller terrestrial geckos like leopard geckos (though the height isn't strictly necessary for leopards).
• Juvenile Snakes: Hatchling or very young, small snake species as a temporary home.
• Frogs & Toads: Smaller terrestrial or semi-arboreal frog species (e.g., some dart frogs, pacman frogs - though pacman frogs prefer more floor space than height).
• Hermit Crabs: Provides a good amount of floor space and depth for substrate for a small group.
• Other Invertebrates: Larger insects like certain stick insects, millipedes, or roaches.
• Bioactive Setups: The design lends itself well to creating small bioactive terrariums with live plants and a clean-up crew.

Considerations:

• Ventilation vs. Humidity: While the mesh top provides good ventilation, maintaining very high humidity for tropical species might require specific substrate choices, misting systems, or partial lid covers.
• Heating and Lighting: You'll need to select appropriate heating (e.g., heat mat, ceramic heat emitter, or low-wattage basking lamp on top of the mesh) and lighting (LEDs, UVB if required) based on the specific needs of your animal.
• Substrate Depth: The 30cm height allows for a decent substrate layer, which is important for burrowing species or for maintaining humidity.
• Enrichment: Always provide appropriate hides, climbing structures (if applicable), water dishes, and other decor to create a stimulating and secure environment.
