Zoo Med Creatures Magnifier
A close-up view of your invertebrates without opening the enclosure. The Zoo Med Creature View Magnifier (item CT-15) is a suction-mounted magnifying lens that attaches to the outside of a tank or terrarium, giving you a clear close-up view of isopods, tarantulas, millipedes, scorpions, cockroaches, spiders and beetles – handy for checking on molts, eggs and babies without disturbing the habitat.
Key features
- Suction-cup mount – attaches securely to the outside glass or acrylic of a tank so you can leave it in place.
- Also works handheld – lift it off the glass and scan over substrate and décor for a closer look anywhere in the enclosure.
- No enclosure disturbance – inspect molts, eggs and newly hatched young through the glass instead of opening the lid.
- Purpose-built for invertebrates – sized and designed around isopods, tarantulas, millipedes, scorpions, roaches, spiders and beetles.

Common questions
Will the suction cup work on a mesh or wood terrarium?
No – suction cups need a smooth, non-porous surface such as glass or acrylic. On mesh or wood enclosures, use the magnifier handheld instead.
What magnification does it give?
Zoo Med doesn't publish a magnification power for this item, so we can't state a figure – it's designed as a close-up viewing aid rather than a precision optical instrument.
Can I use it to check on eggs or a molt without opening the tank?
Yes – that's the main use case Zoo Med designs it for: mounting it on the glass lets you check on molts, eggs and newly hatched young without lifting the lid and disturbing the habitat.
