Zilla Micro Habitat Terrarium With Locking Latch

You and I both know how hard it is to find something aesthetically pleasing, practical, effective, reasonably priced, and safe all in one. This is it. I’ve done extensive research about acrylic enclosures and where to find them in Canada. For the amount of effort it takes to find something that will keep your animal safe and happy this price is more than acceptable. Standardized acrylic boxes only work to a degree and they require a lot of DIY tools. The only work I did to this enclosure was creating a seal between the bottom and side walls using aquarium silicone. My tarantulas can be housed in these from the moment they are a tiny sling – I have no fear of their escape due to the sizing of the ventilation slits. If I rehouse a 1/2”-3/4” sling in here I would simply cover the ventilation slits with tape and use a needle to poke numerous inescapable holes. Also the set up isn’t that complicated. Get this enclosure, you won’t regret it. I have four varieties of the Microhabitats and I’ve never been disappointed.

I recently purchased the Zilla Micro Habitat Terrarium Enclosure for my jumping spider, and it has been an absolutely fantastic choice. My spider loves it, and I’m equally impressed with its quality and functionality.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this terrarium. It’s provided a perfect home for my jumping spider, who has thrived since moving in. The ease of cleaning and excellent design have made my life easier, and I highly recommend this enclosure to anyone looking for a high-quality, functional, and aesthetically pleasing habitat for their small pets.

Okay so I understand that most buyers of these enclosures are new to the tarantula hobby. That’s because seasoned hobbyists know that they can modify a $4 AMac box from the Container Store and net the same result. I also know that the most common species that most new keepers are going to put into this enclosure are Avicularia’s. This isn’t a bad thing, but it could be much better with a simple design modification.
Avicularia’s, as well as other arboreal tarantulas are extremely dependent on cross ventilation. Now you may say “Perfect, this enclosure has air slots on both sides.” This is true, slots on both sides are good but it could be much better. If there were a second set of slots below these it could create convection. Air would enter the enclosure from the bottom slots, as the air warmed and became humid from the dampness of the substrate it would rise up and exhaust from the top vents. A constant flow of air. In at the bottom, out at the top. By not having those holes at the bottom that convention is inhibited. Yes there are gaps for air to enter at different places on the enclosure but why not put a second set of air vents below the existing vents? It would cost nothing, and make the enclosures a more suitable habitat for air flow dependent species. I modified mine by drilling two rows of holes down low but if I am going to have to drill the acrylic, it becomes hard to justify the cost when I can make the same modifications to an AMac box.

The pros: The acrylic is very clear and attractive. Its easy to assemble and light weight. The folding door is secure and the latch is intelligently designed. This is a decent enclosure that could be a great enclosure if Zilla would better educate themselves on the needs of the animals that they are designing these enclosures for.

Algunas piezas se doblaron, es ligero pero perfectamente permite el escape de insectos pequeños.

Me gustó mucho el diseñó, viene muy bien empaquetado, el acrílico es totalmente transparente.
El tamaño es adecuado para animales pequeñitos, yo puse una ranita.
La puerta es todo el frente y se abre hacia enfrente.
El único detalle que le noté es que la pala quita del broche se safa muy fácil, pero igual no interfiere con la seguridad.

I like the front opening door, very appropriate for an arboreal tarantula. But can be assembled for horizontal terrestrial T’s or small lizard
