Reptile terrariums and enclosures from Exo Terra and URS: Exo Terra Natural Terrariums in glass, the URS Terrarium and Beastie Box, and complete URS packages for keepers who want the enclosure and its set-up matched from the start.

Floor space, height and the animal you keep

Settle first whether your reptile lives on the ground or in the branches, because everything else follows. Terrestrial species such as bearded dragons, blue-tongues and most pythons use floor area, so a long, wide enclosure is worth more than a tall one; length also lets you set a warm end and a cool end, since a thermal gradient needs distance. Arboreal species climb, so height and vertical furniture matter more than footprint. Exo Terra Natural Terrariums come in several sizes, so choose the footprint against the adult size of the animal, not its size now.

Complete packages against a bare enclosure

URS builds its packages around a species and a life stage: the Young Python Starter Kit and Budget Python Package for snakes, the Budget Bearded Dragon Large Package for dragons, and the Large Terrarium Package with Internal Heat and Light where the heating and lighting are fitted inside the enclosure. A package saves you matching heat source, thermostat, lighting and furniture yourself, the step where most first setups come unstuck. A bare enclosure — the URS Terrarium, the URS Beastie Box or an Exo Terra Natural Terrarium — suits you better if heating and lighting are already sized correctly, or you are moving a growing reptile up a size. Whichever way you go, run the setup for several days before the animal moves in and confirm temperatures at both ends. Keeping most Australian reptiles requires a state or territory licence, so check what applies before you buy.

Whichever reptile enclosure you choose, three things matter as much as the box itself. A secure, lockable lid, because snakes and lizards are very good at finding gaps. Ventilation, so humidity does not build up into condensation and mould. And a thermostat on every heat source, since an unregulated heat mat or globe can overheat an enclosure quickly. If you are buying for a young python or dragon, size the enclosure against the adult animal and plan the upgrade now: moving to the next size up is cheaper as a planned purchase than as an emergency one.
