Reptile PC Terrarium Set 20in x 10in x 8in - Compact 6.6 Gal Habitat

Our review looks at the Reptile PC Terrarium Set, a compact 6.6 gallon enclosure best suited for beginners and small species. The single biggest reason to consider this terrarium is its combination of a clear, explosion-proof polycarbonate body and a vented metal top, which together deliver excellent visibility while supporting overhead heat and UVB sources. The set ships complete with a feeding bowl, long tweezers and a spray bottle so new keepers can set up a tidy, watertight habitat quickly.

Key Features

• Water tight base: The tank is designed to hold water, so it can support damp substrate or shallow water features for amphibians and crustaceans.
• Explosion-proof PC construction: Thick, high hardness polycarbonate gives a clear 360 degree view that resists yellowing and tolerates a wide temperature range.
• Metal screen top: The ventilated lid allows proper airflow and safe use with overhead heat and UVB sources while protecting pets from escape.
• Convenient feeding port: A magnetic, spring-assisted feeding port with light push action makes feeding easier while reducing the chance of escapes.
• Starter accessories included: The package includes a long pair of tweezers, a feeding bowl and a spray bottle so setup and basic husbandry are ready out of the box.
• Compact, full view design: Small footprint at 20in x 10in x 8in makes it easy to place on shelves or desks without sacrificing viewing area.

Who It's For

The Reptile PC Terrarium Set is aimed at first time keepers and hobbyists housing small reptiles, amphibians or invertebrates such as leopard geckos, small tortoises, tarantulas, hermit crabs, jumping spiders, snails or small aquatic setups. Its included accessories and water tight base make it practical for species that need occasional misting or shallow water.

Experienced keepers needing larger long-term enclosures, heavy-duty climbing setups, or extensive live planting should look elsewhere; the compact 6.6 gallon capacity and modest height limit suitability for larger or very active species. The lid security has mixed reports, so users needing tamper-proof locking may prefer a heavier commercial enclosure.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Vented metal top supports overhead heating and UVB safely for thermal and light needs.
• Comes with useful starter tools (tweezers, feeding bowl, spray bottle) for easy setup.
• Compact size fits in small spaces while remaining watertight for flexible use.

Cons

• Lid security has mixed customer feedback, so additional locks may be desirable for escape-prone animals.
