Exo Terra Pro Terrarium XSmall / Wide 30 x 30 x 30cm
A compact aluminium-framed terrarium built for front-level access to smaller reptiles and amphibians. The Exo Terra Pro Terrarium X-Small/Wide (PT4400) measures 30 x 30 x 30 cm and pairs a matte-black aluminium frame with 4 mm tempered glass, giving a cube-shaped footprint that suits smaller species, juveniles, or set-ups where floor space is tight. A stainless steel top screen is built for UVB penetration, and the raised, watertight base suits bioactive set-ups.
Key features
- Front door access — reach in at the animal's level for feeding, misting and spot-cleaning, rather than reaching down from above.
- Spring-loaded push latch with integrated lock — keeps escape-prone species contained; the removable top locks separately via a patented in-frame mechanism.
- Three-tier adjustable ventilation — patented forced vertical airflow reduces condensation, and an integrated dirt collector keeps the vents clear.
- Stainless steel mesh top — sized for UVB and infrared penetration when a lamp is mounted above.
- Raised bottom frame — leaves clearance underneath for a substrate heat mat or cable, and the base itself is watertight for moist or bioactive set-ups.
- Six self-closing cable inlets plus internal gutters — route probe wires, misting lines or tubing without leaving a permanent gap.

Will it fit my enclosure?
At 30 cm internal height, this terrarium suits heat and UVB fixtures with a short minimum mounting distance — always check the specific lamp's own gradient table before buying, since minimum safe distances vary by wattage and model and are not published by Exo Terra for the terrarium itself. A 30 cm cube suits smaller lizards, geckos, small snakes, dart frogs and other species that don't need a tall basking climb.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
- Suitable for: small to medium terrestrial and semi-arboreal reptiles and amphibians, bioactive set-ups thanks to the watertight base, and keepers who want front-level access rather than a top-opening tank.
- Not suitable for: larger lizards, snakes or arboreal species that need significant height or floor area — check an adult size guide for your species before buying the X-Small/Wide.
What's included
The terrarium body, front door, lockable mesh top and raised bottom frame. Substrate, heating, lighting, thermostat and decor are sold separately.
Care and maintenance
Wipe glass panels with a reptile-safe glass cleaner rather than household ammonia-based products. Check the door latch and top lock periodically on any enclosure housing an active escape artist. Clear the ventilation dirt collector during routine cleaning so airflow doesn't drop off.
Goes well with
- A substrate heat mat sized to fit under the raised bottom frame.
- A UVB lamp and reflector sized to this footprint, plus the correct thermostat for your heat source.
- Substrate and hides suited to your species' humidity and burrowing needs.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by Exo Terra's manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. As a glass enclosure it ships with additional packaging care; contact us before ordering if you need a freight estimate for your postcode.
Common questions
Can I use this for a bioactive set-up?
Yes — the base is watertight and raised, which suits a bioactive substrate layer with drainage underneath.
Does it come with a heat mat or UVB lamp?
No. This is the terrarium only; heating, lighting and a thermostat are sold separately and are needed to keep most reptiles and amphibians safely.
Is the top screen suitable for a UVB lamp?
Yes, the stainless steel mesh top is designed for UVB and infrared penetration, but always check the specific lamp's minimum mounting distance and UV index chart for your species.
Will it hold moisture for a humid set-up?
The watertight base and adjustable ventilation support higher-humidity set-ups, though very high humidity species may need the vents adjusted or a cover added over part of the mesh top.
