Review by Riley Jimison
Today’s reptile hobby is highly focusing on improving keeping methodology and increasing what is available to make keeping more feasible. From proportional six channel thermostats to custom built enclosures, the reptile hobby has never seen so much progress and innovation as there exists today. Zilla has recently found a way to keep pushing the bar with a product designed for the little critters in our lives. They recently launched a new product line called the Micro Habitat enclosures that eliminate much of the common need to repurpose household Tupperware to securely house your small geckos, tarantulas, or most any other small critter.
The Micro Habitat comes in both Terrestrial and Arboreal orientations and both in a Small and Large Size. The smalls for both Terrestrial and Arboreal are 4”x4”x8” and the larges measure in at 14”x8”x6” respectively. They come disassembled and take less than five minutes to peel the protective layer off each piece of acrylic, assemble them, and secure them with their provided durable rubber bands. The construction is that of a brilliant 3D puzzle of stability and structural integrity complete with a solid plastic basin that can hold plenty of substrate or even water should you choose. The wall panels come with pre-cut ventilation for proper cross ventilation. The final touch is their brilliant and unique locking mechanism that is easy to use and secure for any animal you choose to house inside. The result is an aesthetically appealing and crisp, clean looking acrylic enclosure for your tiny critters.
Zilla’s Micro Habitats are perfect for many Tarantula species, various invertebrates or isopods, geckos, frogs, small lizards, small snakes, you name it. These products fill a void that forced the keeper to get creative in other unconventional ways to build or construct secure housing for small animals. Although the creativity is fun, the visual appeal always leaves much to be desired when using deli containers. You never know how structurally sound a sandwich container is until a nosy snake pushes a lid off when you’re not around and who wants that? Animals deserve to be displayed more prominently than the world’s best Philly Cheese Steak. As much as anyone loves a good Philly Cheese Steak, our animals are not food and if we want to display them proudly, we can do better. The Micro Habitats are an affordable and attractive way to properly house and display these smaller animals we love so much. They will have anyone admiring your collection even if they are not particularly fans of the animals you keep. There is just something about nice clean crisp acrylic that catches the eye and adds to the natural beauty of our beloved pets.
If you have been looking for the right small and attractive enclosure for your little animals, but don’t consider yourself much of a builder or a handy individual, the Micro Habitats by Zilla are an appealing, affordable, and secure way to display your animals. They can be found in most pet stores that carry reptile products around the country and any of your local Zilla product carrying reptile shops.
