I love this product, its perfect for smaller invertebrates or young reptiles/amphibians. The only small downside of this container is the fact that it opens from the top instead of the side. The reason why I a saying that is because the animal that I kept in it makes its home on the top so when I open it it destroys the house. happened 2 times before it made a home somewhere else. Over all the house is perfect and has no gaps for you animals to escape. You cant have super small animals that climb in there or fly because they can escape through the air holes. But yes I definitely recommend to get this to keep critters in.
