Would this terrarium be appropriate for small spiders?

Depends on what your definition of small is. If you're talking like jumping spider small, then no, this wouldn't work. I use mine for a juvenile Ecuadoran tarantula (2in.) and it is awesome.

I would say that depends on the type of spider. My daughter had an arboreal tarantula, so the 'tall' terrarium worked very well. But for a terrestial tarantula I'd go with a longer, shorter terrarium.

Yeah, this is fine for small spiders. Depending on how small the spiders are though, it might be better to get a cheaper plastic container. Spiders don't need much space, so you may not even want something this large.

Yes it would. I am not sure how big the snake gets but it would be great for a temporary habitat. Have fun with your snake.

Yes, absolutely. It is heavy enough that they could crawl all over it and it would not move an inch. The legs of the stand have rubber its so it doesn't slip around and the bowels in themselves are stoneware so very think and heavy. Never thought about rats before, it would be really cute!

I don't know much about tarantulas other than some of them are rather large. I don't know if they need area for roaming. If they do, this tank is too small.

It would probably be on the small side, but would do in a pinch. My real concern would be that it would not be strong enough. The larger parrots could probably mangle the relatively thin bars of this cage if they wanted to.

Yes, this should be perfectly fine for a mouse colony. In fact, the size of this habitat is probably better suited for mice than gerbils or larger hamsters.

Maybe if it's fully charged. I think I'd use something with a hose, so I didn't have to get up close and personal with the spiders.

Sorry. I did not have a spider problem so I do not know. It was wonderful for my problem withgnats. I was infested with them and it took 12 of them in a 1500 ft. apt. but in three weeks they were down to a couple a day. Good luck.

I think it would be ok for small reptiles, etc. but the light wouldn't provide enough of a heat source.

I think it can handle the task! Assuming you're fast enough to catch them! My husband caught a really big spider with this!

It's better for frogs, spiders, small lizards, or other small pets. Better choice for a ball would be a 10 gallon & buying the accessories to dress it up. I would not put any snake in this. We put a trantula and its borderline too small for her( as long as she dosen't get any bigger).

I agree with Monique & D Vetrano. Small turtles possible but for larger ones I doubt it. I also think the incline of the ladder would make a difference. I've had frogs sunning themselves on mine as well as birds using it to get closer to the water.

A normal 5, 10 or 20 gal terrarium, yes. Aquarium, no. We've had people sit on the end table, not for any extended period of time, and didn't have any problems. The table is well made, won't rock and the top is one piece wood, not particle board.

Yes and no. It depends on how big it is. But I would say NO. A python would easily out grow this size of terrarium and may have stunned growth issues. I would say yes it it was very young but you would need a larger one in a year anyways

Depends on the size of the spider...if it's a really big one, it falls down and then you have to step on it.

not sure. We purchased It for spiders, and my daughter has seen few if none since.
