REPTI ZOO 50 Gallon Reptile Tank, 36" X 18" X 18" Reptile Terrarium, Black-Tinted ECO Glass Enclosure with Sliding Door & Mesh Top, Secure & Low-Stress Habitat for Bearded Dragon, Gecko, Snake, Lizard

I'm glad my husband was around to help me with this. Like some other reviewers said, directions are very vague, but the video helped. I am very happy with it so far. I want to comment that the way they packed it for transporting is amazing. Everything was protected really well. As for the tank itself, I love the fact that it opens in the front. Makes it easy to do everything that needs to be done without having to always go through the top. I don't have to move lights to get in anymore. It's nice looking, too. I'm not sure about the black glass in the back and on the sides. I'm trying it for awhile to see how Zippy likes it. Overall, I think it's a great tank for the money.

This tank was easy to put together. Very sturdy. Looks amazing. Holds heat well. Our snake loves this tank.

Glass leaves a huge gap in the doors because there is only one track for the panels to go through in the top, and the middle of the tank is slightly bowed up. There is about 2-3 mm of space there where the glass goes, meaning that if I move the glass to the middle, I CAN PULL THE GLASS PANELS OUT. My snake has escaped from this tank because of this massive flaw. The lock does not hold the glass pieces together, it just stops someone from sliding the outermost piece to open the tank. I bought this because an acquaintance with another snake has the same tank from a couple years ago, but the glass pieces are at least a full centimeter longer than the ones with my tank. It seems that to save on cost of materials, the producers of this tank have started cutting the glass into shorter panels. I now have to tape the glass together TO THE TANK to keep my snake from escaping again. Also, while building the tank, the styrofoam left shiny microscopic fibers all over everything that I had to wipe off. There was an extra piece of glass that I can only assume is if you want to make the entrance a narrower gap, but was not listed in the instructions anywhere. My chest hurt after building it because of the fibers, so hopefully I don't get a horrible cancer later on in life! And hopefully my snake doesn't either! Don't spend your money on this. Get a tank from a reputable seller like ZooMed or Exo Terra.

Wanted to say Amazon was incredible on the delivery. I thought there was not much chance it could arrive without one broke or chipped piece of glass but it came perfect. As far as product quality, it seems solid. Looking forward to getting my 6ft boa in it tomorrow.

We bought this terrarium for our sons snake we got him for Christmas. We had to add HVAC tape to the mesh lid to hold in the humidity. Once we did that, everything has been perfect. Flash forward to now, I decided to buy another for my own BP. Unfortunately, one of the locking clips on the mesh lid was broken from the box and a piece of glass was also broken. The glass was not a piece we needed so it wasn't that big of a deal. I was pretty upset about the lid though because when I went to inquire about a replacement, I learned I would have to return the entire enclosure just to get a lid replaced and that was terribly inconvenient, not to mention this item is incredibly heavy and there would be no guarantee that the new one would not also be broken and even worse. Now I have to try to locate a replacement lid on my own that will probably cost another $100+. Other than this issue, the terrarium itself has been great for both our bp's.

It was a little sketchy putting together but it’s now my favorite enclosure and I will be getting another in the near future.

The screen top had two broken plastic latches, and the frame has damage from someone trying to pry off the screen from the screen frame. I contacted the manufacturer online. I only needed two small replacement parts. They came back to me in two days, telling me I had to return it all for a refund or exchange. If you know how heavy this box is, you will know just how this is not possible for some people. And I have to pay for the return shipping? Had I known, I would not have purchased this vivarium. Make sure you buy stuff from Amazon and not from sellers who sell from the Amazon website. So instead of paying to ship it back, I (luckily) have tools and scrap parts to make metallic latches. I also permanently fused the screen top with the screen frame, so that the reptile to be housed inside won't be able to escape. And from now on, I will never buy from the seller again and will never buy reptile-zoo products in the future.

I have used several of the Reptizoo knockdown glass line of tanks in various sizes and generally really like them. They come packaged really well (I've never encountered broken glass), they're easy to assemble, they're sturdy, and they have nice quality lids that stand up to my cats inevitably sitting on top of them. I have learned that my snakes (2 corns, an MBK, and a BP) can slide the doors open, so I had to add childproof cabinet locks to them to prevent escapes, but in every other way, these tanks have served us well. This is my first time buying this large of a size, and I got two along with the separate stacking poles so my bearded dragon and ball python can be neighbors. The stacking poles worked well and it seems like a very sturdy setup even with the tanks being this large. The tinted glass looks really sleek and will save my beardie especially from extra stress by limiting her view out of 3 sides of the tank. I appreciate the slightly smaller size compared to the standard 4x2x2 because it is a better fit for my space while still being a significant upgrade for my pets. However, a major problem is that the lids for both tanks are bowed outward in the center. It isn't very visible to the eye, but it makes it so the sliding doors aren't held in the tracks and fall out easily. I haven't encountered this problem with the smaller tanks in the line, but I'm guessing these being so wide makes them more vulnerable to warping. I remedied the problem by putting free weights on top, so the doors no longer fall out, and I hope over time the bow will flatten out.
