[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thrive 40 gallon terrarium is great for little snakes or lizards with a decent barrier height for the desired substrate. The front doors make is easy to access your critter without coming at them from above it’s more welcoming for the pet. The doors work pretty well if you have a determined escape artist I would add some extra support for keeping it closed. The box says it’s good for sand boas but I personally feel the substrate barrier isn’t high enough for them to have a decent burrowing depth.

I’ve used this tank for 2 months with my Leopard Gecko and it works perfectly. I actually bought another brand recently for a 2nd gecko and it was just flimsy and cheap feeling in comparison so I returned it for another one of these. Cost a little more but totally worth it for the sturdiness and dependability.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Influenster for sending me this product. I have provided the picture of the box to show what it includes and some add ons you can get to the newer reptile owners. Now depending on your reptile this is a good starter tank but you might need to size up at some point. I like the double doors on this model and I like the big feeding door. When you use a lamp I worry about the heat exposed to the plastic so be a bit mindful of placement. I think this is a great starter and petsupplycanada is easy to order from. You could do delivery or pickup which is super convenient. Be mindful of your “scale baby” and size up when needed but great start !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This terrarium is perfect for our lizard! Its big, and it gives it so much room to move around. We had a traditional terrarium and it was a pain to lift the whole top to clean out the habitat. This one is wonderful because the front doors swing wide open giving you full access to your pet. We love it!! The only thing is there is a bit of plastic everywhere such as the lock, the lid surround is plastic instead of metal and I’m hoping that it lasts and nothing breaks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this Thrive open glass terrarium and so does our snake Skully. Our snake is about 2 years old and it was time for an upgrade and bigger environment for him. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do! It is a 40 gallon which is huge for him so he has plenty of room to roam around. Also he will grow bigger faster since he has the room to do so. The terrarium is amazing quality and looks beautiful in my living room. It has the front doors that open for easy accessibility and has a nice magnetic closure to ensure security.l and safety. As always I’m so grateful for @Thrive and @Influenster for giving my snake a lovely new home

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This terrarium is pretty awesome! First some pros and then some cons! I like the doors in the front. Everything locks, the front doors, and the top screen cover has 4 locks on it as well. This tank is HUGE. My leopard gecko is considered a gigantic, this is a mansion for her. She is coming from a 20 gallon long. So be prepared to have the space available. My only complaint at this point is that the seals aren’t flush at the doors. And that’s ONLY because of the doors. And the gaps are wide enough for bugs and things to enter or exit. That could be food and/or issues for reptiles. That is a problem surrounding the doors, specifically in the corners and down the middle where the doors open. I’m not too thrilled about that. The feeding door at the top screen is a joke, right? That needs to be. It’s a strange size and shape. All in all, this is a sturdy, nice, big tank. I like it and Zeus is super happy! I will hopefully find a way to seal those gaps. I got this in return for myself and my gecko’s opinion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 40 gallon terrarium is 36x18x18. The packaging recommends this set-up for a couple different reptiles, but I would not recommend it for a russian tortoise, rosy boa, or sand boa. The tank is too small for the russian and the rosy and sand boas have the potential to easily escape when I tested the top latch with less force than either if these snakes would make.
adriannet4 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The terrarium has been such a good upgrade for us! The front opening doors make feeding and cleaning, faster and easier. Being able to remove our turtle through the front is so much easier than trying to twist and turn him through a top hatch. The locking latch is easy to use and keeps the glass doors securely shut, even with a determined-to-escape turtle. The mesh top screen allows for ventilation and heat to flow through from the lamps on top. The hatch on the lid is a little smaller than I’d like, but I use the front doors almost exclusively, so it’s not an issue for me. I’d been looking for a new tank for awhile, and this has been perfect for our needs!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great terrarium for intermediate owners and experts alike. The quality is great and it will last for years and years. I’ve had one for five years and it’s still going strong. I really like Thrive and their equipment for its durability, reasonable pricing, and ease of cleaning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really sturdy terrarium. I appreciate how well put together and substantial the moving parts and latches are (a must). Bigger than I thought it was going to be but that’s only a benefit.

Really good so far, I was hesitant due to some of the reviews but so far so good, housing a 2 year old kingsnake. Seems escape proof which was my main concern. Functions well, doors work well. Only thing that I would complain about is when the door open they aren’t as wide open as the exo-terra enclosures. I do like the fact the doors open independently.
prettymomma3 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tank is perfect. Love that it opens from the front. It has 4 areas you can slide a tab out for your wires so the lid will still sit flush and tight. My sons beardie seems to really like it to. She took a nap before we could finish getting it set up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 40-gallon tank has been an incredible upgrade for my leopard gecko! I’ve had my eye on it for a while, and it truly exceeds all my expectations. Previously, setting up and maintaining my top-opening tanks was a hassle, but the front-opening doors on this one make feeding, cleaning, handling, and decorating a breeze.
I initially worried my leopard gecko might push the glass open, but the secure latch keeps everything in place. Plus, there’s a spot for a keypad for added security. While the doors open smoothly, they tend to swing shut a bit too easily, which is something to keep an eye on.
I also love the secure lid with a convenient access door, perfect for quick feedings. Unlike many other tanks, the lid material is incredibly sturdy and doesn’t warp or melt, while still providing excellent airflow and ventilation. I’m so impressed with this tank that I’m eager to replace all my existing setups with more of these!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Thrive Open Glass Terrarium is 40 gallons of awesomeness! It’s built really well, and the design is both beautiful and functional. I especially love that it opens in the front-makes cleaning easier, and it is made completely of glass, so I get visibility from any side. I’m in the process of moving, so I’m still debating on what to put in it and how to style it, but I’m thinking a tortoise will love it too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this enclosure for my leopard gecko. She is so happy in here, there is definitely enough space for her to live happy! The doors are easy to open and close. On the lid you can also lock and unlock it, there’s also areas where you can pop out to put wires through! I would highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a bearded dragon and the old tank i had didn’t have the doors in the front it had it in the top and I love that this one has the open doors it is so much easier to be able to clean and take out my bearded dragon especially because whenever I would put him back in his cage he didn’t like that and wouldn’t start freaking out, now that this tank is open doors he doesn’t do that anymore it’s easier for him. The size is also very nice
aprild2020_3029 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tank, it’s spacious enough for a juvenile bearded dragon which I am using it for. I love that the doors can be open from the front which makes it 1000 times better and easier especially when you have to clean the tank instead of reaching in from the top. The ventilation is great because the top is a mesh top which is the usual top so it’s still the same which is still good. 10 out of 10 for me and I would recommend this tank for anyone that has a juvenile bearded dragon or even geckos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thrive’s Open glass terrarium in 40 gallons is perfect for my snake’s habitat. My snake loves her new terrarium!! I’m so happy with it. Pick up was fast and easy. Cleaning is a breeze with this. Her old one had one of the big removable lids with huge loud locks on it. Taking it off to do anything was a huge hassle. With this just pushing the little locking mechanism and opening the door is all you have to do and the top has a food door where you can just easily open the small opening and drop the food in. The top is also removable with 4 little locks keeping it in place. The size is perfect. She really needed an upgrade and this is perfect. I’ve had no issues and not found anything I don’t like about this terrarium. It looks nice and is just almost too easy to use especially after what we had before. I’m not a bin person and don’t feel snakes should be put in bins. I want her to be happy and be able to see people and things not just see grey from the inside of the bin and have nowhere to move around. I also love being able to see her and interact easily with her so this works perfect. I’m definitely going to be getting some foliage and stuff to fill the cage so she can have things to slither across. She got so big that no hides near us will fit her so we just used a big bowl and it serves the purpose for now until we can find something practical for her. I would definitely recommend this terrarium and am so in love with the ease of use with this and its beauty!!

The size is perfect, it’s durable including the hinges on the front doors. By the way these doors also make it easy to clean!! I love that the the lid locks and it has a feeding port on the top which allows me to drop some lettuce in for him when I am in a hurry!! This is by far the very best terrarium I have found!! Thank you soo much and a special thank you from Tobias!!

My son LOVES being able to open the door and pet Steggy (his bearded dragon) anytime he wants without help! And it is larger than the cage we were given with him and he is so happy with it!! It’s nice not having to remove the lights and such to get in there and makes feeding a breeze too. There’s just so much to it and we love it. I definitely recommend!

I bought this for my bearded dragon and have not even put him in it…why? First off, right out the box it seemed unsturdy. It is a heavy glass with a thin plastic framing with no support between the 2 outward swinging front doors. The plastic framing actually sinks in the center when the screen lid (that comes with it) is on so the glass doors get stuck and you need to lift the frame in the center by hand to open the doors or shut them! Forget setting your lights on top as with that little weight you can visually see it sinking! There is no way this is not going to break. Second, the bottom of the tank has elevated plastic corners on the outside so the tank doesn’t even sit flat on its bottom…what in the world are they thinking here? The packaging completely blocks all this when you purchase it! I now have to try and get this darn thing contained and drive an hour to take it back!!! Mind you it is not a 1 person job to pick it up and move it even. So beyond frustrated. DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT 2023.

It is going to give her extra room to grow. I love that it has open glass doors for easy access to change out water and can be locked. As well as access from the top for easy feedings. The size in great, durable and over all a great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This this is huge, but it’s absolutely amazing. Any reptile would be able to thrive in this terrarium and live their best life. It comes together so there is no assembly other than determining where you want to put it because it is a biggie. I say it is worth the investment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The front-opening doors make feeding and cleaning so much easier compared to top-loading tanks. The glass is thick and durable, and the built-in ventilation helps keep humidity levels in check. I also appreciate the secure locking mechanism, which gives me peace of mind knowing my reptile is safe. Easy to assembly and huge!!! Overall, this is a well-designed, high-quality enclosure that I’d recommend to other reptile owners.

The tank sits elevated for a reason. It’s to be able to place an under tank heat mat under the tank if desired. Most under the tank heat mats are made to stick to the bottom of the tank. The tank is raised for air flow so your heat mat isn’t sitting directly on whatever your tank sits on. (So it doesn’t over-heat or damage your stand or tank for that matter.) Addressing the frame/lid: I have cats that occasionally sneak on top of my terrarium. Don’t worry, they promptly get shooed off…The lid holds them just fine. They range from 8lbs to 13lbs. The only time I have trouble with the doors opening smoothly is when I’ve used the terrarium stacker to stack another tank on top of the bottom tank. Then the top front frame sinks just enough to make the doors stick a little. Also, a FYI for any planning to use this for a new, small, baby snake. On the inside, top, front frame there is a hollow part of the frame. My baby corn snake was able to get up and IN that part of the frame. There is no way she could have gotten out of the tank itself with how we had it set up. But she gave us a panic when we couldn’t find her. Problem solved with placing some painters tape over the “entrances.”

I have many of these style knock down terrariums, and they have done a great job for me. They look slick, stack and are very sturdy. Just be 100% sure you have everything secured correct (which can be a little bit of a pain) but been using some for months and no complaints. If you want to stack them, you’ll need a stacking kit from elsewhere.

My chameleon has so much room that I am going to be getting him a companion .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not the best picture but super happy with my tank. While a different brand than what I first had, it’s pretty similar. Holds temp decently. Only things that gave me any issue was seeing how the door lock worked. First few times mine got slight stuck so it took me a few tries to fully understand. I also had some issue with removing the cord port hole plug on top. Wasn’t sure how the little plug came off so I looked it up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Thrive 40 Gallon Open Glass Terrarium is really nice! It’s sturdy and made very well. It’s spacious and can be used for a variety of different reptiles. Right now I have an adult Bearded Dragon and adult Chinese Water Dragon so this won’t work for them, but soon I will be getting another Bearded Dragon. This terrarium will be perfect while it’s a baby and juvenile. I love how strong and durable the top screen is. It has good ventilation, locks in 4 places, and has an oversized feeding door. It also has enough room for your light fixtures. Between the top screen coming off and the open front doors it makes getting to your reptile easy. It also makes it easy to clean your enclosure. The front doors have a twist lock so you know your reptile is safe. I really like how it has cord ports so it makes it easy to organize all your wires so they aren’t in the way. I’ve used a lot of different brands of terrariums and for the price this one is well worth it. Overall I really like this terrarium and can’t wait to get my new baby in it! I recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great size tank! It’s huge! & a bit heavy so you definitely need assistance moving it but it’s of a good quality thick glass. I love how it opens in the front so you can access your pet and the interior of the tank (terrarium)without having to get a stool or something to be able to reach over and into the tank like you normally have to with standard style tanks. This has been a game changer for me and a strong selling point, IMO. It allows for more pet-human interaction and all 3 of us are benefitting from it! (Myself and my 2 beardies). This is an incentivize review, I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion of it.
