Exo Terra Pro Terrarium Medium / Wide 60 x 45 x 45cm
Exo Terra Pro Terrarium Medium / Wide 60 x 45 x 45cm
Extra floor space for reptiles that live on the ground more than they climb. The Exo Terra Pro Terrarium Medium/Wide is a 60 x 45 x 45 cm front-opening glass terrarium, giving up some height against the Medium/Tall in exchange for a lower, wider proportion. Dual lockable doors, a raised waterproof base and a stainless steel UVB-permeable screen top come standard, and the moderate height still leaves room for low branches, hides and basking platforms.
Key features
- 60 x 45 x 45 cm — wide, moderate-height proportion — floor space for roaming species with enough height for low climbing furniture and a basking platform.
- Dual front-opening doors — spring-loaded push latches and an integrated lock for low-stress feeding and spot-cleaning.
- Removable, lockable screen top — stainless steel mesh sized for UVB penetration, secured by Exo Terra's in-frame locking mechanism.
- Three-tier adjustable airflow — forced vertical ventilation designed to cut front-glass condensation while holding humidity where you need it.
- Raised, waterproof base — takes a heat mat underneath the substrate, sealed against spills and misting run-off.
- Self-closing cable and tubing inlets — rear entry with internal gutters and dedicated misting nozzle attachment points.

Exo Terra does not publish internal height, glass thickness or empty weight for the Pro range on its current spec sheets or manuals, so those figures are left off here rather than estimated.
Where will this fit?
Check the 60 x 45 cm footprint against your stand, allow door-swing clearance at the front, and leave headroom above to lift the screen top off for cleaning. Exo Terra doesn't publish a separate internal-height figure — frame and screen thickness take a small amount off the 45 cm external height. Match any heat or UVB lamp against its own minimum mounting distance, published on that lamp's product page, using the usable height once substrate and décor are in — this is the lowest of the three Medium heights, so mounting clearance is worth checking before you buy a lamp.
Which Pro Terrarium do I need?
| Model | External size (W x D x H) | Floor footprint | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medium/Low | 60 x 45 x 30 cm | 60 x 45 cm | Ground-dwelling species that need floor space, not height |
| Medium/Wide (this page) | 60 x 45 x 45 cm | 60 x 45 cm | Terrestrial species wanting some climbing height without going tall |
| Medium/Tall | 60 x 45 x 60 cm | 60 x 45 cm | Semi-arboreal species balancing floor space and height |
| Large/Tall | 90 x 45 x 60 cm | 90 x 45 cm | Larger terrestrial or arboreal species needing more floor area |
What's included / what you'll still need
Included: the terrarium frame with dual lockable front doors, the stainless steel screen top, and the raised waterproof base.
You'll still need: a heat source sized to the enclosure, a UVB lamp matched to your species' UV zone, a thermostat, substrate, and décor or hides. A misting system is optional, connecting via the built-in attachment points.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for: ground-dwelling and low-climbing reptiles and amphibians that want floor space over height, and bioactive builds using the base and a drainage layer.
Not suitable for: species that need real climbing height — check the Medium/Tall or Large/Tall instead — or a dedicated water section beyond a shallow dish, which is what the Pro Paludarium range is for.
Care and maintenance
Feed, mist and spot-clean through the front doors. Lift the screen top off for deeper cleans or substrate changes. Clear the dirt collector at the vents occasionally, and clean the glass with a reptile-safe cleaner rather than an ammonia-based product.
Safety
This terrarium is not mains-powered. Run any heat lamp, heat mat or UVB lamp on a thermostat suited to that heat source, mounted at the minimum safe distance stated on that product's own page — check this carefully given the lower 45 cm height. Set the furnished tank up on a stand rated for the load.
Goes well with
A heat mat or ceramic heat emitter sized to this footprint, a UVB lamp matched to your species' target UV zone, a dial or pulse thermostat, and a bioactive-suitable substrate for the raised, waterproof base.
Warranty and delivery
Manufacturer warranty terms apply in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. This is a large glass item — check freight and pickup options at checkout.
Common questions
Is 45 cm tall enough for a UVB lamp and a basking platform?
Usually, yes for ground-dwelling and low-climbing species — but check the specific lamp's minimum mounting distance against the usable internal height before you fit one.
How does this compare to the Medium/Low size?
Same 60 x 45 cm footprint. This Medium/Wide stands 45 cm high against the Medium/Low's 30 cm, giving more room for a basking platform or low branches.
Does it include heating or lighting?
No — it's the enclosure, screen top and base only, so you can choose heating and UVB to suit your species and its target UV zone.
Can I run a misting system into this terrarium?
Yes, through the self-closing rear inlets, which route via internal gutters to dedicated nozzle attachment points.
