It carries the Pro range's stainless steel mesh top, spring-loaded lockable front doors and three-tier adjustable ventilation, and its 30 cm height keeps a mesh-top fixture closer to the substrate than the taller Pro models allow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStainless steel mesh top\u003c\/strong\u003e — engineered for optimal UVB penetration, so a clip-on lamp sits above the mesh rather than behind glass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-tier adjustable ventilation\u003c\/strong\u003e — patented forced vertical airflow reduces condensation without the draught of simple mesh side vents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring-loaded, lockable front doors\u003c\/strong\u003e — open one side at a time for feeding or spot-cleaning, with an integrated lock against accidental openings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatented in-frame locking top\u003c\/strong\u003e — the removable mesh top locks into the frame rather than resting loose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRaised, waterproof base\u003c\/strong\u003e — built for a substrate heater underneath, and seals against a deeper substrate layer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-closing rear cable inlets with internal gutters\u003c\/strong\u003e — route probes, misting lines and heat cabling through the back panel without a permanent gap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonsoon-ready\u003c\/strong\u003e — nozzle attachment points for Exo Terra's Monsoon misting system are built in (system sold separately).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExo Terra Pro Terrarium Small\/Low (PT4403)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eExternal dimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 x 45 x 30 cm (18 x 18 x 12 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApprox. volume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60.75 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll-glass, front-opening door(s) with spring-loaded push latch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTop\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemovable, lockable stainless steel mesh screen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRaised, waterproof, heat mat compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable entry\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMultiple self-closing rear inlets with internal gutters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEPT04\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarcode\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e015561244039\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeat and UVB mounting clearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 30 cm, this is the shallowest model in the Pro range, so there's less clearance between a mesh-top fixture and the substrate than on the Wide or Tall models.
