ReptiZoo White Base Insect Acrylic Box

The ReptiZoo White Base Insect Acrylic Box is a compact, purpose-built enclosure for mantids, spiders, and other invertebrates. Available in two sizes, it suits a range of species and setups — from small slings and hatchling mantids to more established specimens needing room to moult and explore.

Why Acrylic?

Acrylic offers the clarity of glass without the weight, making day-to-day handling and maintenance noticeably easier. It is resistant to knocks and minor impacts, which makes it a reliable choice for keepers of all experience levels. The transparency is consistent across every panel — no distortion, no compromise on visibility.

Ventilation and Top Access

The lid is a steel mesh panel secured with magnets, providing a clean, tool-free opening for feeding and maintenance. The mesh features 0.09mm holes — fine enough to contain small invertebrates while allowing adequate airflow. The magnetic closure holds firmly without the risk of accidental displacement.

Substrate and Waterproofing

The removable base makes it straightforward to set up and refresh the substrate. There is enough depth to accommodate a generous substrate layer, suitable for live plant roots or burrowing species. The enclosure is fully waterproof, so maintaining humidity and growing live plants presents no issues with moisture ingress.

Plant Watering Port

A dedicated watering port built into one of the side walls allows you to water plants directly without opening the top or removing the base. This keeps disturbance to a minimum — particularly useful for more defensive or skittish invertebrates.

Both size options share the same core design and features, so the choice simply comes down to the species you keep and the space available. Select your preferred size from the options above.
