Wow that looks amazing. Would probably work really well for baby gtp's and emmy's. What do you guys think?

Thanks for sharing!

ya they get pretty big and there decent prices to! they would be good for snakes as they completly lock up. the only thing i dont see them working to good for is terestrial lizards as they dont have a very big bottom area.

Tops are Mesh.

I've seen these at a few of the pet stores around town recently as well.. was considering the 24" squared one for some Cresties when they get bigger.

IMO, not worth it. The rock backgrounds are some sort of spongy material, which will absorb moisture (and thus become a breeding ground for mold) in no time.

Backgrounds are a type of polystyrene foam... pretty much the same thing as styrofoam... I doubt they would absorb moisture, but anything with claws will probably shred them pretty quick. If I do end up with one of these i'm gonna give it a quick covering of sealed grout or something similar so it'll last longer.

ya theyre designed to take water contact. theres even passages behind the wall for tubes and wires so u can run pumps in and all that good stuff. and yes anything with claws would probably shred it up real good

Yeah really like the design ideas on them. I think the foam background should be removable in my opinion. I like how the doors swing out instead of sliding, make for easier cleaning.
Was going to grab the larger one, think it would be suitable for an adult Crestie.

So it's a glass tank with front opening doors and a piece of foam stuck to the back piece of glass on the indside? I wouldn't think crickects would stay in there very long.
Cheers,
Trevor

no the foam isnt glued in ...i took it out at the pet store...if i got one i would get the 24" by 24" and use it for a baby GTP...without the background...it's stupid and would absorb moisture but the tank isnt too bad....but i dont really need a small tank like that....Connor

Just checked these out today and I think they'd be great for numerous species especially T's, Cresties, and frogs. Seeing as the foam background is removable any issues with that are gone and everything else about them is perfect.
