"I bought this as an upgrade to my grandbug. My daughter has a lovely Dead Leaf Mantis who is growing by leaps and bounds, and he was ready to level up housing-wise. I wish I could get just the enclosure with possibly the substrate. I don't have a lot of use for plastic plants."

"The glass was broken"

Bottom Line

The Zoo Med Creatures Reptile Habitat Kit has good size and design and offers an acceptable purchase but caution is advised due to frequent quality issues and the high number of negative reviews. If you are happy to deal with these, it's the right choice. I gave 3 overall.
