Zilla 11 Gallon Glass Tropical Vertical Habitat Starter Kit for Small Tree Dwelling Reptiles & Amphibians

Okay so first off, $109!?!? You simply can not beat this ANYWHERE. The terrarium alone is worth that much. The light it comes with unfortunately the bulb will be too hot for specifically Crested Geckos, but it is a good light and could work with numerous other reptiles and set ups. Then it comes with a hygrometer/ thermometer combo that works good. It came with a decent back-round and some substrate as well plus a feeding dish. So happy with everything! The terrarium is actually really good quality for the price point. I also actually prefer the single door now over a double door as well. I couldn’t be happier and I’ll for sure buy it again!

I have been an Exo Terra or Zoo Med fan for many, many years. I purchased a Zilla "bow front" terrarium at a local reptile expo in early 2020 and was really happy with it's quality and how most of the common gaps/openings in the other two brands were NOT an issue with the Zilla. I recently moved a day gecko out of that tank with the intent to move mourning geckos into it and the minimal amount of "gecko proofing" I had to do was so impressive.When I purchased my Agricolae pair, I knew I only wanted a Zilla for the same reasoning. The only gaps of concern were the side of the front door that has the hinge, but I slit a length of aquarium tubing and siliconed it on and it's fine. I also used a little packing tape on the opposite top corner just to be safe, as I ran out of silicone so couldn't run a bead inside to protect another really small gap. As soon as they grow a bit, we will not have any issues and can remove those safety measures. For the mourning geckos in the larger tank, they'll stay permanently.The tank itself is sturdy, well made and attractive. The extras it comes with are nice, but not necessary for every species. I like keeping extra supplies on hand, so definitely don't mind them. I was a bit nervous about using the halogen lamp included in such a small enclosure, especially looking at the temperatures it projects achieving with it's use. I ended up buying a nano LED fixture that I'll feel much safer using.My only complaint, is I wish the door were a bit longer. The vent area could be at least a couple inches lower, while still allowing for suitable amounts of substrate and providing a nicer/fuller view inside the habitat.

For a 1st time reptile owner I believe this Terrarium/kit is a worthwhile purchase. I give it a 5-Star rating, because it is an adequate size/kit. The kit came with everything pictured in the advertisements (except no bulb in the light housing). It also did not come with a pictured backing. Instead it came with a green colored foam board/block.However, IF the Terrarium enclosure had been undamaged. Then I believe that I would have been satisfied with the purchase. The refund process was excellent. If I hadn't already purchased the Gecko that morning then I would have waited to get a replacement one.Luckily a local pet shop had a Terrarium available that same day which we have our Gecko housed in now. We were able to use everything that came in the original kit. Which we really appreciated. For the price, customer service and convince of delivery I believe that this is a worthwhile buy. I hope my review helps in your decision making.

As expected and described

This Zilla Tropical Habitat Starter Kit is exactly what my gecko needed! The tank is the perfect size for small tree-dwelling reptiles, and the vertical design gives him plenty of space to climb. The setup is easy to install, and it looks great in my living room. The included accessories are high quality and provide everything my gecko needs for a comfortable environment. I’m very pleased with this kit and would recommend it to anyone with small reptiles.

The media could not be loaded. I was pleasingly surprised to find my tank came with a whole kit set up, everything from a food dish to coco fiber substrate and a thermometer. Lovely little tank to house baby frogs or tree frogs in. I embellished mine with some real plants and spray foam formations built up around natural driftwood. And a small $11 amazon water pump created a tiny waterfall for my frogs to enjoy. Tank worked out great for my idea and vision. Very pleased with it, despite my fears of it getting possibly busted in the transit, to my relief all was well. Would gladly purchase product again.

Worked perfectly for what we needed it for

The media could not be loaded. I ended up with two brown anole lizards and needed housing for them. This terrarium is perfect. It’s easy to access, easy to clean, and looks really nice in my living room.
