Questions
Can I use a heater that attaches to the bottom of the 5.5 gal critter cage? It says it can’t be used on plastic. What material is this made of?
- It is made of glass and you could easily put an under cage heater. I have used it for a snake and a toad no problems. It is a great little size and very sturdy.
Helpful?
will this work for Russian tortise? I will be getting a large cave for it that may not fit and maybe the creature would feel crushed or too spaced
- I would say this would be too small. I had one hermit crab in it and I didn't feel he had enough room.
Helpful?
Would this be good for a Vietnamese Centipede?
- I would say yes. I keep tarantulas in this size, one thing I would be concerned about, is making sure they cannot reach the screen top. Centipedes can chomp through a lot, wouldn’t want an escapee.
Helpful?
What would be good for a banded water snake? In gallons, please (I can't find anything).
- Being semi-aquatic, water snakes can get about 3-5 ft long and should be housed in nothing smaller than a 20L by adulthood. If the snake is still young, you can start with a 10G and then upgrade to the 20L.
Helpful?
Would this tank be good to use temporarily as a home to 2 female mice or rats?
- We would actually recommend taking a look at our sister company Kaytee for this purpose!
Helpful?
Is this watertight to hold 5 gallons of water?
- We do not recommend using our Critter Cages with any amount of water.
Helpful?
could i get this for a leopard gecko?
- No. Even for juveniles this would be too small. Leopard geckos need temperature gradients and hides that reflect those specific fluctuations, plus "clutter" to feel safe and secure since they are prey animals, so really with everything they require a 20 gallon long is the minimum housing requirement that can accommodate all of this. A lot of people are learning that a 40 gallon is a more appropriate size for adults though, so I'd say a 20 long is the bare bones minimum, but would look into a 40 gallon front opening tank for an adult :).
Helpful?
Would this be good for a baby hognose snake?
- Hi there! Yes, but we would suggest going to a 10 Gallon because it will last a little longer and still be small enough for the hognose to feel secure.
Helpful?
Would this be too big for an L5 Chinese praying mantis?
- We'd suggest something larger as that mantis will grow much larger than that terrarium. A small Zilla Fresh Air Screen Habitat with a lot of vines and plants would be excellent!

What is cage be good for 2 forest snails
- Hi there! Yes, this would work great!

How many snails can I have in a 55 gallon fish tank?
I have a fancy bearded dragon that is almost one now. When I first purchased him we got a 10 gal tank and he seems to be getting bigger. Do you think if I purchase a 40 gal tank he’ll be set for a year or two? Thank you.
What size crate should I purchase for an adult German Shepherd I am planning to adopt?
I have 2 Mystery Snails and a betta in a 3.5G tank. Tank is filtered and has a heater. One snail has not grown at all while the other has nearly doubled in size. He is lathargic and I rarely see him eat his food or even come out of the shell. His shell has turned to a dull dark brown colour and looks to be cracking a little bit. Does this sound like a water issue? Does he sound sick? What can I do to help him. In the last picture, he is the smaller snail in the front.
My Goldfish are usually happy cause they have a 120 gallon tank I have 10 Goldfish and they seem scared of something like they swim to one corner wait a bit then swim as fast as they can to the other I mean it’s raining but my White. Loads and Guppies are fine PLEASE HELP

My new glofish shark has long, white, stringy poop hanging off its body. I may have overfed him his glofish flakes. Is he constipated or stressed from being in a new tank? I treated the water with Aqua SafeStart and EasyBalance. What can I do to get him to poop?
