REVIEW Exo-Terra VS Zoomed glass terrarium

[@mosesp6200]

Great start in this video hahahaha :D

[@JA-ni6dz]

My plan was to skip to the end to find the conclusion but due to that start i watched the entire video more out of respect than anything else lol

[@saltykraken9471]

Thank you for respecting my time and getting straight to the point. If you hadn't done that, i probably wouldn't have watched thru the entire video. 👍

[@terrariumchannel]

Your welcome :)

[@arwen2022]

This is probably the best comparisons video I have seen. Thank you for giving so many details and actually clearly showing the products as well!! Great job :)

I got an exoterra about a year ago and It claims on the box thats its have stainless steel mesh. I was really suprized hearing about other peoples mesh corroding, now I know why. :D They had the older one.

[@LoriTorrini]

I use both Exo-Terra and Zoo Med. I really like the single door on the ZooMed; however, Exo-Terra does offer more sizes. I’ve been happy with both. I really like the ZooMed door better.

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

This was very helpful. Thanks :)

[@weareorigin]

Personally, I choose Exo. I got my Zoo Med at 50% off at PetSmart...the glass was cracked and the glue was sloppy all over.

[@rad_reptiles]

An additional comment about the zoomed product, the locking mechanism breaks fairly easily. It’s happened to dozens I’ve worked with over the years and I’m forced to slide a card underneath the glass to push down the lock and open it.

[@terrariumchannel]

Great add Ryan. Good to know for sure.

[@tokehgekko9455]

Really wish Zoomed was available in Sweden, Have and many Exo-Terra and Zoomed looks so much better.

[@tokehgekko9455]

@Terrarium Channel, how tight are the gaps around the doors on the Zoomed? Want one for Mourning geckos

[@markusnilsson3237]

You can buy in Sweden :D

Congrats to 3000 Subs!

[@terrariumchannel]

Thanks a lot!

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

Now you have to do another one including the Zilla terrariums, lol.

[@terrariumchannel]

Haha. I actually dont believe we have those in EU(?). But there are some other ofbrands that came with a similar design.

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

@@terrariumchannel zilla is a newer brand. So we basically have three major brands here. There are some crappy d list makers here too, though. I wish they weren't so dang expensive. Even the I heart geckos brand, who make aquarium conversion kits, charge like $50 dollars for what are basically pieces of plexiglass with doors that fit different sizes of aquariums. It's still cheaper than the good front opening glass enclosures.

[@squamigera9523]

which moss do you use here? i have vivarium moss and it must be green just like yours... but something is wrong with my moss he become so brown :/ how can i fix that? i have all the time moss in water.

[@terrariumchannel]

Hi Marjaz, all kinds really, Sphagnum, vescicularia and some stuff I scraped from flowerpots etc. Good light helps, and a bit acidic place for them to grow on like peat or tropical hardwood.

[@LoLo-vh2hn]

What do you think about thrive 40 gallon tanks coMpared to exo 40 gallons natural ter for ball pythons??

[@terrariumchannel]

Unfortunatly I have no experience with those to make form a sollid opinion :)

[@richardsanchez5444]

Does that plastic piece actoss the top of the mesh pose any issue with lighting or heating? Does it melt with the heat or block the light?

[@terrariumchannel]

Not directly if lights are mountes to manafacturers specs. The lighttops made by Exoterra are made so the cover the front or back half and fall between the struds. Ofcource if you place basking spot on top/against the plastic it will melt... so dont

[@richardsanchez5444]

@@terrariumchannel will a heat lamp fit between the two plastic pieces, on the mesh itself?

[@terrariumchannel]

@richardsanchez5444 i have the 14cm domes between issues. The bigger ones is better to suspend a bit. ExoTerra offers brackets for this

[@richardsanchez5444]

@@terrariumchannel you can mount the fixtures inside the enclosure?

[@terrariumchannel]

@@richardsanchez5444 next to the ventilation. Having a screen top enables you to have all bulbs and domes outside the setup. This looks better, is saver (also for the animals) and easier. So that would (to me) beat the purpose of getting a setup like this. But technically you can yes.

[@adamanteus11]

ever tried terratlantis terrariums btw ?

[@terrariumchannel]

Only seen them up close. Seem to have the same downsides as Zoomed, Exo and Another similar brand. I know they have an 120 variant but front has not a full entry via the doors and still only 45cm.

[@stevederidder6927]

Hey maateke Weeral zoals gewoonlijk goeie video 👌👍 De exo terra terrariums zijn deze ook goe voor wimper gecko's Want ik heb nu een glazen terrarium met van boven smalle ventilatie rooster en deze zijn ook goe Alleen de uvb lamp hangt mee in het terrarium en met exo terra heb je dat niet Zou jij exo terra terrarium aanraden voor wimper gecko's Big fans Grzt from belguim 👍😀

[@terrariumchannel]

Hoi Steve, dank voor de complimenten. De 45x45x60 of groter is zeker geschikt voor Wimpergekko's.

[@stevederidder6927]
