URS - Pee-Wee Terrarium - (45 x 45 x 30cm) - In Store Pickup Only

Dimensions:

• Metric: 45 cm (length) x 45 cm (width) x 30 cm (height)
• Imperial: Approximately 18 inches x 18 inches x 12 inches

Key Features:

• Full Glass Sides: Like the Micro, it offers excellent 360-degree viewing, allowing for easy observation of your pet and its habitat.
• Top-Opening Secure Mesh Lid: The entire top is a mesh screen that opens, typically with secure latches. This design ensures excellent ventilation, which is crucial for preventing mold and maintaining air quality. The mesh also facilitates the placement of lighting and heating elements directly on top of the enclosure.
• Optimal for Terrestrial Species: The larger square footprint (45x45cm) combined with the moderate height (30cm) makes it ideal for creatures that primarily live on the ground and don't require significant climbing space.
• Durable Construction: Made from glass, these terrariums are sturdy and easy to clean.

Common Uses/Suitable Inhabitants:

The URS Pee-Wee Terrarium is well-suited for a variety of small to medium-sized terrestrial and even some semi-arboreal animals that don't need extreme height:

• Spiders: Larger tarantula species (juvenile to adult, depending on species size), other terrestrial spiders.
• Scorpions: Most terrestrial scorpion species.
• Hatchling to Juvenile Snakes: Ideal for many hatchling pythons (e.g., Carpet Pythons, Stimson's Pythons) or juvenile smaller snake species before they require a larger, more permanent enclosure.
• Geckos: Many terrestrial gecko species, including some knob-tailed geckos, leopard geckos, or smaller crested geckos (if sufficient climbing decor is provided, though a taller enclosure is often preferred for crested geckos).
• Hermit Crabs: Provides ample floor space for a colony of hermit crabs, allowing for deep substrate and enrichment.
• Small Lizards: Certain smaller, terrestrial lizard species that don't need much vertical space.
• Invertebrates: Stick insects, large millipedes, and other similar invertebrates.

Considerations:

• Height Limitations: While larger than the Micro, 30cm (12 inches) of height is still relatively low. This means it's not suitable for truly arboreal species that need to climb extensively or for active animals that need a lot of vertical movement.
• Heating and Lighting: You'll need to provide appropriate heating (e.g., heat mat under a portion of the terrarium, ceramic heat emitter, or low-wattage heat lamp on top of the mesh) and lighting (LEDs, UVB if required by the species) based on the specific animal's needs.
• Substrate Depth: The depth allows for a good layer of substrate, which is essential for burrowing species, maintaining humidity, and live plant setups.
• Enrichment: Even with the larger footprint, adequate hides, branches, and decor are crucial to create a stimulating environment and provide security for your animal.
