I don't use this for my aquatic turtles.... I use it as a carrier for my hamsters. These keepers are so much bigger than the ones made for hamsters!!!! I got the biggest one made for hamsters (i paid about 20 bucks for it at a local pet shop) and it was still too small!!!!! These are bigger and so much cheaper!!!! I am a very very happy customer.

Generally good.

Bapril

I decided to buy this instead of a glass tank for my reptiles, for one thing, the light weight so it's more portable and easy to handle, and another is that the top is fairly well secured. These aren't recommended for some species of reptile nor as a permanent home for most. But is good for small reptiles or a starter home for juveniles. I also enjoy that I received a divider with mine so I can have 2 animals in one cage. These are also stackable which saves a lot of space but I don't recommend stacking too many for animal's safety. The only downside is the main hatch or doorway if you will is not directly centered so if I have a divider in the middle I can't reach my hand through to the one side, I have to take the whole lid off to get access. And I can't seem to figure out how to open the little feeding door (or hatch) without busting it. Seems like a design flaw there.

This item is perfect for my 4 baby gargoyles, with a hide place, coconut cave and bark log, a plant and tons of moss. It's large enough to house all of them comfortably yet small enough for security.

I got the biggest one for my 5 hermit crabs I liked how it held humidity well and you could put a heat pad on it! But I wanted to be able to see the crabs a little bit more, this one was too short so you couldn't lokk inside very well. I wanted one so you could see wher they were they were climing becouse I think hermit crabs are so entertaining. I would recomend a 10 gallon aquarium instead. One other good thing was they never got out so the lid was very tight:) Overall I give this 4 paws.

Great for Gerbils, too!
PostedOctober 28, 2011
I got the 17.5" x 12" one to use as part of our "gerbil city". I think it's great for the price! The top did crack right away when I got it home and went to take off the lid, but with the lid snapped on it covers the crack. This is a much cheaper alternative than the ones that are actually marketed for small rodents, and it still has the punch-out hole on the lid where you can put a tube or a water bottle (in addition to 2 doors).. This larger one also has a removable divider, which came in very handy while we were using the "split cage method" to introduce strange gerbils to each other. I will probably get more of these as we expand our gerbil habitat even more.

Not so good

Blubbermath
from NJ
When I got my fiddler crabs (R.I.P.) after science project at school (dumb move on my part) I went out and bought the extra large one for the crabs. Knowing that the crabs were small and didn't need much attention, it was well priced and I got it. My crabs loved it! After they died (in about a week) we were going to save the tank! Then, the top cracked. Then the bottom cracked. Then I saw a small hole on the base. Not good!
I also do not reccomend this to any animal larger then a pink toe tarantula.(leg span not included) bigger animals need more quality and bigger space. For anything bigger, I either reccomend an inexpencive gallon tank or if you really want, one of the more expencive critter tanks designed for heat to flow through correct.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good size for larger reptiles
PostedAugust 2, 2011
DeeFan
from Native New Yorker, living in Lima, Ohio for 10 yrs
I use these carriers to hold my snakes when cleaning their tanks, and for traveling. I've had the smaller size for many years, and my ball python has outgrown it. I now use it for my milksnake. My 4 ft. python fits comfortably in this larger one, but the one drawback is that it doesn't have handles like the smaller one. You would think that the larger carrier would be much more convenient to carry around with handles! The lack of handles cost it one 'paw'.

FrogFanatic
from Gimmelshtump, Druzelstien
I use this to carry my Frog and Toad when I go to my friend's house. Sometimes I put in coco husk fiber while other times I just put in an inch of water. Sometimes, my female young bullfrog even tries to breed with my male fire-belly toad in it! I also use it to put the crickets in and then put in my eastern newt (Newton), bullfrog (Frogger), and fire belly toad (Flamez). GREAT!!!

We use it to keep crickets that we feed to our lizard. The lid is a little hard to get off, otherwise it works just fine for the purpose we bought it for.

hermitcrabby
from San Antonio, TX
I purchased the largest one (17x12) for my two hermit crabs. It is shallow enough that they use it to climb up on the sides and the lid (kind of like spiderman!). I have about 2" of play sand in it, plus a salt water dish and a fresh water dish, a crab castle, extra shells, driftwood and food dishes - it all fits with plenty of room for them to move around. I also like the two doors at the top that allow for accessing the crabs without having to remove the lid. This was a great purchase - highly recommend!

I bought (2) of the LARGE Pet Keeper on Sale
11.75" L X 7.75" W X 8" H
SKU: 871605
They are just great for young corn snakes. So much easier to handle than a fish tank! I also bought the smallest sized Zoo Med Repti-Therm Under Tank Heater. When I stack the cages, I can just slip the heater between them for a little extra heat overnight.
