Overview
In a small apartment or on a shelf, the Exo Terra Nano Tall houses tiny frogs, geckos or hermit crabs behind glass. Front doors open separately and lock, while the mesh top lets UVB and heat through.
Front access means animals are not grabbed from above, which reduces stress for small species. Its small footprint limits it to tiny animals or juveniles.
Who it's for
Nano setups, quarantine tanks and planted mini vivariums suit it. Bearded dragons, snakes and most adult lizards need a far larger enclosure.
Pros and cons
- Front opening doors
- Mesh top passes UVB
- Cable inlets for accessories
- Raised base for heating
- Very small space
- Glass is heavy for its size
- Lighting sold separately
Performance notes
A tall front window holds deep substrate or water features, while the raised base lets a heat mat warm part of the floor. The mesh top vents air, so humidity drops without misting.
