REPTI ZOO 24 x 18 x 36 Inches Reptile Tall Glass Terrarium, Rainforest Habitat Double Hinge Door with Screen Ventilation, 67 Gallon Review (2026)

What comes in the box

This REPTI ZOO terrarium ships as flat glass panels for knock-down assembly into a 24 by 18 by 36 inch, 67 gallon enclosure, and the package includes more than just the tank itself. Alongside the glass panels and hardware, REPTI ZOO includes a siphon gravel cleaner set with interchangeable heads for water changes and general tank cleaning, plus a moss cotton mat that helps hold humidity and gives climbing plants something to root into. The 10 inch deep, waterproof base is built with paludarium and rainforest-style setups in mind, deeper than a standard flat-bottom terrarium, which gives room for a substrate and drainage layer without needing a separate riser.

Assembly and what to check first

REPTI ZOO describes the build as taking a few minutes following the included instructions, but a 36 inch tall glass tank is more awkward to assemble solo than a shorter one, simply because of how far the upper panels sit from the base while the silicone seals set. It is worth having a second person on hand for this size, both to hold panels steady during assembly and to help move the finished tank onto its stand afterward, since a filled 67 gallon tank is not something to lift alone. Once built, checking that both hinge doors close flush and latch securely is worth doing before adding substrate or an animal, since this is the most common source of an ill-fitting door on any knock-down glass tank.

Ventilation, doors, and daily use

A removable screen top provides ventilation and UVB or infrared penetration from an overhead fixture, and REPTI ZOO notes the metal top cover can support the weight of a heat lamp or similar fixture resting directly on it. The double hinge front doors open independently, letting a keeper reach in for feeding or misting on one side without giving a climbing animal a full-width path to the door opening on the other. Because this model is styled and equipped for a rainforest habitat, most keepers add their own substrate, live or artificial plants, and a background on top of the included moss cotton mat rather than treating the tank as ready to use straight from the box.

Where it sits against similar tall tanks

Against Exo Terra's High Glass Terrarium at the same 24 by 18 by 36 inch footprint, this REPTI ZOO model includes the cleaning kit and moss mat as part of the package, while Exo Terra's kit relies on the buyer sourcing those extras separately, though Exo Terra's door lock design is a more established system among long-time keepers. Within REPTI ZOO's own tall lineup, this model ranks just behind the larger 36 by 18 by 36 inch, 100 gallon version built for chameleons and bigger arboreal lizards, and ahead of a shorter 16 by 16 by 30 inch tall terrarium meant for smaller collections. The main trade-off against all of these is simply size and price, since a bigger tank costs more and needs more room.

Verdict and who this fits

This terrarium suits keepers setting up a rainforest or paludarium-style habitat for crested geckos, gargoyle geckos, or similar climbing amphibians, especially those who want the cleaning tools and humidity mat included rather than bought separately. The 10 inch deep base is a genuine advantage for anyone planning a layered substrate with drainage, since it removes the need for a false bottom riser that shallower tanks require. Keepers who want the simplest possible setup, or who are assembling a tall glass tank alone for the first time, may prefer a pre-built option or a shorter tank that is easier to handle solo. As with any tall glass enclosure, plan the stand height so the upper portion stays reachable for feeding and cleaning.
