Exo Terra Standard Faunarium Small

I bought the Exo Terra Standard Faunarium (Medium, Black) for transporting and temporarily housing small reptiles/mammals, and overall, it's been a very handy enclosure. The size is great for small reptiles, insects, or amphibians, and it's super easy to clean. I love the top access door – it makes feeding and spot-cleaning really convenient.The faunarium is lightweight and stackable, which is a big plus if you have multiple animals. Ventilation is also good, and the handle makes it easy to carry around when needed.That said, the plastic isn’t the sturdiest – it feels a bit brittle, so I wouldn’t rely on it as a long-term home. Also, the lid doesn’t lock as tightly as I’d like, so I’d be cautious using it for animals that are strong or known escape artists.Overall, a great value for the price and perfect for transport, temporary housing, or quarantine setups. Just be mindful of the limitations.

Bought to house some stick insects. Good quality, and easy to put the lid on and off. Clear plastic which was good and well designed.

As an avid terrarium hobbyist, I understand the importance of having the right tools and enclosures for transporting and temporarily housing reptiles, amphibians, or live feeders. The Exo Terra Standard Faunarium Small caught my eye with its compact size and practical features, making it a valuable addition to any terrarium enthusiast's arsenal.One of the standout aspects of this faunarium is its portability. Measuring 230 x 155 x 165 mm, it's just the right size to fit comfortably in a backpack or travel bag, allowing you to transport your terrarium animals or live foods with ease. The transparent plastic door is a thoughtful touch, enabling you to easily monitor your creatures without disturbing them unnecessarily.While the Faunarium is designed primarily for temporary housing or quarantine purposes, its sturdy construction and well-ventilated design make it suitable for short-term use. The ease of cleaning and disinfecting is a significant advantage, as maintaining a hygienic environment is crucial for the health and well-being of your terrarium inhabitants.However, it's important to note that this enclosure is not intended for long-term housing. As with any temporary enclosure, proper care should be taken to ensure that your animals receive adequate space, appropriate temperature and humidity levels, and access to food and water during their stay.One potential drawback of the Exo Terra Standard Faunarium Small is its limited capacity. While it's perfect for transporting or temporarily housing small reptiles, amphibians, or live feeders, it may not be suitable for larger or more active species that require more space to move around and exhibit natural behaviors.Overall, the Exo Terra Standard Faunarium Small is a practical and well-designed enclosure that fills a niche for terrarium enthusiasts and pet owners alike. Its compact size, easy accessibility, and simple maintenance make it an ideal choice for transporting or temporarily housing small terrarium animals or live foods. While it may have limitations for long-term housing, its intended purpose as a portable and temporary enclosure is undoubtedly fulfilled with efficiency and convenience.

Great value for money. It’s a lovely tank with good visibility. Sometimes the lids can be a bit wobbly but they are still secure. Perfect for my rescue snails. The mini one for some reason has huge holes in the lids- I needed to keep baby snails and I had to cello tape it up. There is also a small lip under the glass lid…. Be careful if I you have tiny little ones! Great tank and I’ll continue buying.

I really like this container. Top flap did break immediately, but doesn't affect using it for my purpose.Perfect size for keeping live mealworms in, Deep enough for a good amount of ground wheat for bedding, egg box for shade and 250g of worms.Top is a bit tight to get off, worried about breaking it, hopefully as opened more will get easier.

A finicky to remove the lid at times. I bought it for my granddaughter for her snail.

Overall happy. My one little thing is that the top hatch is extremely secure which normally isn't an problem but because of that it makes a bit of sound when you pop it open to feed which isn't great for the animal. I'm sure over time it will wear in

This would be quite a nice item if it was intact, but it arrived with one of the top corners broken. It's just about usable so not worth the hassle of returning. The packaging was OK so it could well have been damaged before shipping, which would indicate poor quality control.
