The front-opening doors allow for easy access for feeding and maintenance. A special locking mechanism prevents escapes, and the doors can be opened independently of each other. The top made of fine mesh metal allows for good ventilation, enabling UVB and infrared light to penetrate the terrarium. It can be easily removed completely for decoration or cleaning purposes. On the back of the top, there are five lockable cable channels on both sides to accommodate heating stones, waterfalls, sensors, etc., inside the terrarium. The bottom of the terrarium is raised to allow for the installation of substrate heating to warm part of the enlarged base area. The extra-high front windows are ideal for thick substrate layers (allowing reptiles to burrow), for water features (paludarium), or to install an Exo Terra reptile cave. The realistic background is in the same color as all other Exo Terra decorative items and provides extra climbing space.
