A small glass terrarium with front doors, a mesh top and a raised base for tiny amphibians, invertebrates or small lizards. It is too small for most adult reptiles.
A tall, airy aluminum screen cage for arboreal lizards like chameleons that need ventilation. Screen walls hold humidity poorly, so misting is a must.
A light, stackable plastic tub for transport, quarantine or feeder insects, easy to disinfect between uses. It is a temporary enclosure, not a permanent reptile home.
A tiny ventilated plastic keeper for insects, feeder bugs or a temporary small pet, with a feeding window in the lid. It is too small for most permanent pets.
Lee's small keeper is a step up in space for insects, hermit crabs or a short trip with a small reptile. It is still a carrier and temporary home, not a full habitat.
Popular PickA small clear transport and quarantine box for lizards, frogs and feeder insects that cleans quickly. It is too small for long term housing.

Terrariums house reptiles, amphibians, insects and plants, and on this page they include glass terrariums with front opening doors and screen tops. The first decision is the animal, because each species needs specific space, humidity, temperature and lighting.
Size and orientation are the next questions. Climbing species need tall terrariums, while ground dwellers need floor space. Front opening doors make feeding and cleaning easier, and a locking door keeps animals secure.
Ventilation and lighting matter. Screen tops allow airflow and support heat lamps and lights, but they can lower humidity for tropical species.
Glass terrariums hold humidity well for tropical frogs and geckos, while mesh enclosures suit chameleons that need airflow. Add a thermometer and hygrometer to monitor conditions, and place the terrarium away from direct sun, which can overheat it. Substrates, hides, branches and plants complete the setup and give animals places to climb and shelter. Clean and disinfect terrariums regularly. Some terrariums include a background panel that adds climbing surfaces and hides cables, and a substrate heater placed under one end creates a warm side and a cool side, which many reptiles need to regulate temperature. Choose a terrarium that allows for the animal's adult size rather than its size as a juvenile.
Before buying, check the dimensions, door style, lid, locks, and whether a background or substrate is included. Research your species' care needs and set up heating and lighting before bringing the animal home.
