9 Best Terrariums for Reptiles UK 2024 | Ideal for Snakes, Lizards, Turtles and Geckos

Granted, this might be the most expensive option in our ranking but sometimes in life, you get what you pay for! In this instance, the price provides you with an incredibly durable glass terrarium that features two front openings as well as one top entrance. 

While this might seem like a lot of entry points, it's nice to have the option depending on why you're going into the tank. We love that the back wall already comes decorated— this addition doesn't just save you money, it also creates a more authentic place for your pet to live. This is the best terrarium around, hands down!

This affordable plastic terrarium from Zilla is a brilliant buy for small reptiles and amphibians or invertebrates. The 100% see-through material ensures that you have a 360-degree view of your pets, while clever locking handles keep every creature safely where they should be. 

Again, the design is stackable. However, this time it's high-style (vertical) which may be more convenient for some owners, depending on the space you have available at home. It's a cult classic among Amazon reviewers, who are a hard bunch to please, so we rate this product very highly!

If you need plenty of space because you've got a big pet, then this 131L capacity tank will surely be of interest to you. It comes with a lovely black finish and is a low design with two front entrances. The size and style seem to suggest that this would be ideal for large snakes or lizards. It would also work as a massive utopian space for smaller animals if you have the room!

This design has a solid back, which is vital if you have larger animals, but it does also come with a ventilation area to ensure a decent airflow. Best of all, this terrarium has an excellent build quality, thanks to the durable yet affordable materials used.

Made completely out of transparent acrylic, this terrarium from Kewenit works perfectly as a standalone unit or can be stacked, as the ventilation won't be covered in the process. So, if you're a keen herper and wouldn't mind a small collection of reptiles and amphibians in multiple units, this product could be right up your street.

Included in the design is an anti-escape lock, which enables you to open the box without the risk of your pet(s) slithering their way to freedom! This terrarium is quick and straightforward to assemble, so all you'll need for its arrival is some cosy decorations to make it feel more homely. 

This offering from Monkfield is ideal for housing geckos, snakes and plenty of other species. It has a top open design with trusty secure clips that lock the hinges, so you don't have to worry about anything escaping. Plus, there are plenty of holes, which are crucial for ensuring proper airflow. 

The bottom of the terrarium is double-layered glass, which means that setting up the heating mat and an insulating tier is much easier, as it will be projected through to the tank without any issues. We think this is a safe, sensible option for owners of smaller reptiles.

The dimensions of this vivarium means it's capable of fitting in many of those places around the home that others on our list can't, for example between bookshelves or below windowsills. It's also stackable, which makes for an impressive display if you have a collection of little critters.

The oak finish is solid and will add an earthy look to your space, while the glass is toughened to guarantee safety. Plus, there are large airflow vents at the back which ensures that your inhabitant gets plenty of air.  

With perforated pure metal netting on two sides and the top, this tank offers great ventilation for your pet. This is an excellent option for smaller reptiles, arachnids, or snakes, but there are also two other bigger sizes available if you have a bigger pet. 

Everything is removable, from the roof to the front door, which makes for easy cleaning. The sliding doors are also lockable, with keys included to ensure safety. However, our only gripe is that some users have reported that this tank may not be as sturdy as the other options on our list. 

While we've opted for the smaller option, this terrarium from Vivexotic comes in two different sizes, with a larger one being available if you need it. It has a classy, modern black finish which is sure to be a hit with people who have a contemporary style interior. 

Furthermore, the product will arrive as a flatpack and can be easily assembled at home. However, some of the hardware (the screws mainly) is a little weak so you might want to upgrade it for additional security. 

First up in our ranking, we have this small terrarium box from Aujelly. It's made from acrylic and comes in with pretty standard dimensions for smaller options. It's completely transparent, so you'll be able to view your little reptiles from 360-degrees, and it also has plenty of ventilation holes throughout. 

However, some customers have found that the plastic is a little flimsy. So, you'll want to be especially careful around it, especially if you have young children who are involved in caring for your pet.
