Do I need one for a crested gecko tropical terrarium?

While you need a therm/hydro meter in reptile tanks this particular item is worthless it isn't accurate what so ever. The hydro was reading 20% higher then what the tank actually was. AcuRite makes a digital therm/hydro meter that is less expensive then this.

I have mine in "fairy" globes and they are doing quite well. The gloves have openings so that I can spray them every few weeks with treated water that has food in it (also available on Amazon) and no issues. I think I had a kit with moss wtc that said they could be used in a closed terrarium. Hope this helps.

If you tank is long enough or about the same size of the light is perfect . Because you will have night and day light and heat for you reptile . If your tank is tall and not long enough so go for another type of light but remember you to have day and night light and heat / humidity in your tank all the time and food / water and where to hide . Good luck

No bulbs or ceramic heaters are provided. Considering different reptiles require different amounts of heat & various strengths of uv lighting, it is up to the individual to research what specific needs your reptile requires & then buy the proper lights & heat globes.

No, and I recommend you get one. But I do like the aquarium very much, even without the heater.

U attach the holder to the rear of the tank or terrarium. I have 2 of them for my beardie, one for the basking light, another for the UVB light. It works great. It sticks to the back of the tank, the height is adjustable. That way, the lamps don't rest on the top of the screen.

If the terrariums are close enough, shouldn't be an issue. Each lamp cap has it's own lead back to controller.

Not at all, I use them in all of my terrariums. They don't get very hot and you can also purchase a thermostat to finely tune heat dispense throughout your new friends habitat.

Hi Anthony ... first and foremost, remember that I'm a novice at growing air plants ... a glass terrarium should work great, but I'm not certain about the moss, and you obviously want to avoid anything that will keep them "moist" ... I'm presuming this means any type of soil. I submerge mine, per instructions, once a week for two hours, then let them dry another two hours on a paper towel. That seems to work great. They're growing and doing great. :-)

For a hermit crab, no matter the size, you'll need at least a ten gallon aquarium. This terrarium will be much too small.

Although I don't know much about tarantula care or needs in terms of space, temperature and humidity, I would say yes as I'm guessing you're wondering about the security of the habitat. Both the screened top of the as well as the glass doors are both held securely in place by locking mechanisms and I don't see any way the animal could escape from it. Mine houses the tiniest little gecko and she's pretty secure in there. The glass doors do open forward and there's the most infinitely small space where the doors meet, but about the only thing that may escape on occasion is one of her fruit flies, so just be aware of where the animal is when you open them.

That is very very dependent on the type of animal you have. I would go to your local pet store not a Petco or petsmart and talk to the reptile person.

Let me add that because I use this with the "Zoo Med Hygrotherm Humidity and Temperature Controller for Terrariums" I only need to refill it every few days. The problem with the unit when it runs continuously is that it produces way more humidity than is needed. The Hygrotherm will turn it on and off (the electrical cord for your Fogger goes right into the Hygrotherm unit) and it runs in short bursts throughout the day. It is an $80-90 investment, but has made life much simpler. I've had the two together for about 2 years (guessing), and both run fine. You can also plug your terranium heater into it and it works the same.

You could place one in there, again I would remove the Styrofoam backing and use some sort of under the tank heating device. Anoles do best in small groups with plenty of room, I agree with Jordan awesome guy and suggest a 10 gallon tank for your lizard.

There are two hoses. One hose hooks up to an air pump, like what you would use in a fish tank. Then run the other hose to your reptile tank. You fill the main part up with water and the air pump forces water vapor into your terrarium. This allows you to maintain the humidity for a jungle or tropical reptile, like a chameleon or a python.

I have kept a baby crested gecko in one and I fed him fruit flies. I had no problem, but perhaps that depends on the size of the flies. but yes it will keep the mantis in . its built well, and is very hard to escape from. good luck.....
