Types of Reptile Terrariums

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village I'm Nicole. When you need to buy your terrarium, the first place you should try is your local pet store. They will often carry different types of terrariums for a variety of different animals. You can buy the standard glass aquarium with the screen top. For approximately hundred bucks will get you a good size glass aquarium. Then you can get the fresh air habitat for smaller lizards such as chameleon that will probably run you around $85 for the complete setup. Then you also have options like building your own terrarium that is often cost effective, much more cost effective than buying a large terrarium such as an Iguana terrarium cause that is going to be something that is very large and very expensive. You can easily just go to your lumber store and pick up some lumber and some wiring and create your own just remember to make sure it's safe. This particular terrarium I used for my Iguana use to be a rabbit hutch, I just kind of improvised and provided enough the right accommodation for an Iguana. Until he grows out of this, this is where I'm going to keep him in, eventually he needs to graduate from a 4 X 6 hut cage or so. You can use glass on Iguana but it's not suggested. It's better if they have the opener."
