Great quality and a nice tank. I did however return this because it was not fit for the specific tarantula I own. Pink Toe tarantulas need cross ventilation and this tank does not have that

Purchased this to keep my first colony of beetles. I decided I wanted to have live plants and living soil to support the colony and for a more natural look. I dove into the world of isopods and it has been a blast learning about insect keeping and how to provide for that ecosystem. In order to conveniently accomplish this I needed a water tight base, air flow and an access point. This unit really delivers on that and has a nice aesthetic. This unit is nicer that the competitors at a cheaper price point per my research and use of this unit. I'm glad my research in advance confirmed this is the right one for my purposes and price point.

Overall pros / cons:
Pros:
- water proof base to ensure watered soil, plants, etc stays in. This can help maintain some humidity if you seal up some vents.
- Tons of vents for air flow - great if this is what you need for whatever you're housing. (see con below)
- Looks great
- top feeding ports (I have not utilized these myself but could be really handy if you don't want to open the entire front door)
- space saving shape (as opposed to any other slanted walls on a critter box or larger framed units)

Con:
- Depending on your needs this could provide too much air flow. The entire top is vented with 3/4 metal mesh of high quality and 1/4 plastic venting with feeding ports. I actually wanted to maintain more humidity and my critters do not require much airflow so I covered with plastic wrap. I also needed to seal up the vents to avoid / minimize a fungus knat infestation I was fighting in my houseplants at the time.

Other points:
The latch is secure to the door. I did see some reviews commenting on the latch but I have not had any issues. It does take a two handed approach which if you're holding food to add to the enclosure it can be challenging but you learn to use it as is and becomes a natural action after a while.

Amazing! Arrived in great condition, perfect for my tarantula, only thing is no lil hole for any wire if you want to have a humidity or temp thermometer it has to be inside of enclosure BUT otherwise PERFECT!! I love it

Definitely what I needed for my baby crested gecko, I just wish I knew the top didn't open and the door sticks pretty bad. Overall, for a cheaper option still worth it I suppose.

Came packed in a sturdy box with plenty of protective foam. Fully assembled and ready to go. I was impressed with the quality of construction. Solid.
The latch is secure, though a little awkward to open. Maybe I'm just using the wrong technique. Stranger things have happened.
The access panels in the lid are handydandy, but I much prefer the greater access of the door panel.
The base being watertight seems like it'd be really useful for critters needing that sort of environment.
I have 2 jumping spiders. They get substrate and plants and interesting things to climb on and explore. Pretzel & Bucket have had a great time investigating their new set-ups, and I got to scratch an itch and be a little creative in designing their new homes.
Not too big, not too small. The 8³ box is just perfect for my spoodz.
