ReptiZoo White Base Insect Acrylic Box 12x10x20cm Invertebrate Enclosure

The RZ White Base Insect Acrylic Box is a compact acrylic enclosure designed specifically for praying mantis, spiders, and other small invertebrates. At 12x10x20cm, it suits keepers who want a clean, transparent, and practical housing solution without the weight or fragility of glass — including those new to invertebrate keeping.

Why Acrylic?

Acrylic offers genuine advantages over glass for invertebrate enclosures: it is significantly lighter, resistant to knocks and minor impacts, and delivers the same flawless clarity you need to observe your animal without distortion. The white base distinguishes this variant, giving a clean visual contrast that makes spotting your animal straightforward.

Ventilation and Top Access

The lid features a steel mesh panel secured with magnets, keeping the enclosure firmly closed while allowing reliable airflow through 0.09mm holes. This fine mesh is compatible with the use of a heat bulb or small heater without issue, and the magnetic closure gives confident, secure access without fiddly latches.

Removable Base and Substrate Depth

The base of the enclosure is fully removable, making setup and cleaning straightforward. The interior accommodates a substrate layer up to 4cm deep — sufficient for live plants, naturalistic setups, or species that benefit from a burrowing layer. The base is waterproof, so maintaining moisture levels for live planting causes no structural concern.

Side Watering Port

A dedicated hole in one of the side walls allows you to water plants inside the enclosure without opening the top or removing the base. For species that are best disturbed as little as possible — mantis in particular — this is a practical detail that makes routine husbandry less disruptive.

A well-considered enclosure for mantis keepers, spider enthusiasts, and anyone housing small invertebrates who wants a lightweight, transparent, and functional setup that holds up to regular use.
