Zoo Med ReptiBreeze LED Deluxe Open Air Aluminum Screen Habitat, X-Large 24 L x 24 W x 48 H

This is my 2nd time buying this. The first one I bought was used and basically useless, Amazon refunded my money and I bought a new one. It’s works perfect, lights are awesome. Easy to set-up.

At first I thought the LED deluxe model would be a better option until I received it. The first acrylic door panel arrived cracked. VirVentures the seller I purchased from on Amazon what's not very helpful and getting a new panel and wanted me to return the entire unit. I contacted ZooMed directly and they're great customer service agreed to send me a new panel at no additional cost. The new panel arrived today and thankfully it has no cracks. The panel comes with protective film to prevent any scratches to it. Something Manish scratch this film deep enough to create a scratch on the acrylic glass. I know second-guess the longetivity or durability of this product. How long will it last before it gets scratched some more. How much pressure can be applied to this door panel before it cracks. I would recommend the regular extra large terrarium over this led deluxe for two reasons. Reset number one would be the price I said number two would be the fact that if you have one of these terrariums you are more than likely going to get an LED Hood with a T5 UVB bulb and that should be sufficient lighting to justify the lack of built-in LEDs that the LED deluxe model has. Another good reason to get the screen door version is the fact that chameleons like to hang from it they also have very sharp claws that will definitely scratch this acrylic door panel a lot and then they're going to realize they can no longer hang on that door. I think actual glass would have been a better solution instead of this plastic glass look alike. Buy at your own risk but just know this terrarium is far from perfect.

I recently gave a low rating due to it being late on delivery. However now that I have the product in hand I can say the following. This was easy to assemble. I use it for my juvenile iguana and she loves it. It is bigger than I actually thought it would be which is a plus. It's a pretty good size. If anything could be better would be the timely delivery.

Nice size

Okay, after reading the reviews, I purchased this cage for my Chameleon. The cage is easy to assemble, but there are a lot of drawbacks to this cage. First, and foremost, this cage is NOT designed for "climbers" as the screen is nylon and very weak. It will not hold much. To install wire type vines is very cumbersome. I ended up drilling small holes in the side support to insert the wire for the vines. Furthermore, ZooMeds would do a lot better if they sold a solid background for this cage. Or, supply a "blank" panel other than screen. In my opinion, if the screen were 1/4" wire mesh, this cage would be the TOP of its class. I am now going to cut a 1/16" wood panel the size of the back panel and somehow secure it to the cage. I will make the wood panel look like a tree and may be even add a few branches to this. So, I was hoping to have a lizard home in 30 minutes or less, but now it looks like it will be a 3 week adventure! Kind of disappointing...

Unlike the glass Zoo Med terrariums this one comes unassembled, but the directions were clear and the process not too fiddley. It may have taken me 20 minutes (after I failed to read that all the lettered stickers should face out). The LEDs may not be as bright as a light you might add, but the simplicity of them is great and you could still add more of whatever wavelength you want. I'm a little conflicted as to how to fill it and still make use of the slide out tray, but it may be an accessory I simple don't use. It appears very tightly built so that cricket can't escape. Really very expensive, but so is the rest of the hobby....

For the size of the cage the door is really heavy because of that plastic front. Now if it was a screen mesh front the door wouldn't be so heavy. It's has a weight problem since that doors weight stop it from latching properly. I accidentally bumped the side of my table and the door just swung right open. So unless you can take out that plastic front yourself and replace it with screen mesh I would probably stay away from this item. The plastic square tray that holds the dirt came in bent around the edges. so when I set it in there it protruded on itself a little bit and so dirt would get underneath it. I think it's a good cage but that door is what kills it. Wouldn't recommend for a first time reptile owner maybe with someone who has more experience or knows how to fix the door.

Very easy to assemble if you follow the instructions. I recommend a cordless driver/screwgun to speed the process but a Phillips screwdriver is really all you need to assemble it. Once assembled, it's a sturdy cage. In case you're wondering; the top is screen, not solid. The LED lights are built into the perimeter of the frame of the top. So, yes, you can put a heat lamp on top as it's screen, not a solid piece of plastic. The description doesn't say it, but this comes with the tray for the bottom. I thought it didn't and bought the 24" tray and now I have two. Our Panther Chameleon loves her cage. If this is your first screen cage (it was ours) note that when you mist, water will go through the screen. We have the left side covered with a clear plastic sheet.
