Zilla Micro Habitats

[StampFan]

Has anybody tried one of these yet? I've seen a few reviews on YouTube from folks, but they are obviously trying to push the product.

Looks like a fine idea, but I'm not about to spend $80 Canadian for an enclosure that I put together with elastic bands. Waaayyyyy out of price range. I recognize acrylic is expensive, and these are new, but this is really cost prohibitive. I'm a bit surprised, I find Zilla often has less expensive offerings than Exo Terra, ZooMed, etc...

Just searched them up and I think it’s safe to say that it’s way more cost efficient to use the good ol’ AMAC containers

Yeh way too many options that are as cheap or cheaper that look even cleaner if you take a little time doing ventilation in an organized manner

I've used them and they are kind of meh. It's nice that they're less expensive than some options and are collapsible, but I don't think I'd get them again. The plastic is kind of fragile and the little latches tend to snap off really easily. I think it's better to get something higher quality that'll be more durable and last longer.

any recommendations spideyspinneret78? I'm looking to get a new enclosure for my juvie versicolor

I really like some of the enclosures that HerpCult and ReptiZoo have. They're a little more expensive, but they have a magnet closure on the top which is really nice. Also they look great.

The largest of the AMAC vertical containers would be great for juvies/smaller adults. I’ve yet to find anything more attractive for a comparable price.

These do look pretty nice just seems like the ones available aren’t large enough for many adults and they are a bit pricey for a shorter term enclosure. I’m sure they have larger ones just never saw them available

They do have a few larger ones, but they sell out a lot. I guess a lot of it also depends on which species you have. A nice juvenile enclosure might be worth it if you have a slow-growing species. Most depends on personal preference though, and if someone enjoys making/ modifying their own enclosures.

Take a look on aliexpress, you can find them much cheaper.

What is that site all about? Iv came across it but never ordered anything: is it just direct from overseas or something, so it’s cheaper?

I was considering getting some but changed my mind after reading your experience with them...

How long does shipping usually take? Guessing a few weeks

 

[Dorifto]

Sometimes less than a week, other times one month at max. Average is two weeks to Europe. If the package surpass the maximun arriving date, they refund your money. If the package arrives after the refund you can keep the package.
