## Overview

The Zilla 11 Gallon Glass Tropical Vertical Habitat Starter Kit is a premium, vertically designed terrarium (12"x12"x18") crafted specifically for small tree-dwelling reptiles and amphibians. Featuring a 5-inch watertight bottom for water features, dual-access points with a secure locking system, and a rust-resistant powder-coated screen, it offers both functionality and style. The kit comes fully equipped with essential accessories including a mini halogen dome light, humidity and temperature gauge, coconut husk bedding, and a textured foam background, making it the perfect all-in-one habitat for species like crested geckos and tree frogs.

## Description

The Tropical Vertical Kit is a tall reptile cage specifically designed for arboreal animals that live in trees - the ideal environment for small tropical reptiles and amphibians such as tree frogs, crested geckos and more. The bottom of the terrarium is also capable of holding water and the textured background décor piece, substrate, and feeding dish are included. The Mini Halogen Dome with light bulb, also inside, is the perfect compact size for this vertical reptile terrarium. It provides focused light and heat and is more efficient than a standard incandescent light bulb. To help keep your critter safe and secure, the front door of the reptile tank has a locking latch and locking pin for added security. The top is also hinged, providing access from both the front and top. The Humidity/Temperature Gauge allows for a quick and easy read on the environment parameters to ensure they are at the right levels. Dimensions are 12” x 12” x 18”.

Review: For small species, this is the best option available. - I have been an Exo Terra or Zoo Med fan for many, many years. I purchased a Zilla "bow front" terrarium at a local reptile expo in early 2020 and was really happy with it's quality and how most of the common gaps/openings in the other two brands were NOT an issue with the Zilla. I recently moved a day gecko out of that tank with the intent to move mourning geckos into it and the minimal amount of "gecko proofing" I had to do was so impressive. When I purchased my Agricolae pair, I knew I only wanted a Zilla for the same reasoning. The only gaps of concern were the side of the front door that has the hinge, but I slit a length of aquarium tubing and siliconed it on and it's fine. I also used a little packing tape on the opposite top corner just to be safe, as I ran out of silicone so couldn't run a bead inside to protect another really small gap. As soon as they grow a bit, we will not have any issues and can remove those safety measures. For the mourning geckos in the larger tank, they'll stay permanently. The tank itself is sturdy, well made and attractive. The extras it comes with are nice, but not necessary for every species. I like keeping extra supplies on hand, so definitely don't mind them. I was a bit nervous about using the halogen lamp included in such a small enclosure, especially looking at the temperatures it projects achieving with it's use. I ended up buying a nano LED fixture that I'll feel much safer using. My only complaint, is I wish the door were a bit longer. The vent area could be at least a couple inches lower, while still allowing for suitable amounts of substrate and providing a nicer/fuller view inside the habitat.
Review: Great beginner tank! - This tank is the perfect size for our juvenile crested gecko. There is good amount of space for him to grow. The set up was easy and nothing was damaged during shipping. My daughter is very impressed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How would this tank fare for ball pythons?**
A: It would not be fit for a ball python of any age.

**Q: I live in a cold environment is the light bulb a heat bulb?**
A: Yes, the light can be used as a heat bulb for a tank this size , however be careful with this perticular bulb as the bulb itself gets very hot and should only be used with the screen covering that comes with the tank

**Q: Is this going to be too small for an adult crested gecko?**
A: You really want your adults to be in a 20 gallon container, 11 gallons is fine through the juvenile stage, but not a long term solution. I have my 2 crested geckos in a 18x18x24 and it's big enough for them through adult stage at roughly 30 gallons.

**Q: Is it a 20 or more gallon tank ??**
A: It would be smaller than a 20 gallon.  A 20 Gallon Zilla Critter Cage is 24 x 12 x 16 (LWH) and this is 12 x 12 x 18 so this is only slightly more than half of the cubic space

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ love it!!
*by D***N on January 14, 2024*

so, unrelated to the product itself, it arrived damaged due to the way it was delivered. besides that! It's a great starter kit, doesn't come with alot of decor but the foam backdrop looks very nice and the substrate is also very nice. I used it to mix with some other stuff I had to get the results I wanted but on its own it's nice as well. comes with just about anything a beginner pet owner would want, perfect for my little crestie. great value for money, quality, etc.
