Just wondering what is the better choice, a zoo med reptibreeze or a exo terra terrarium?

its mesh, Vented on all sides but it doesnt seem like it will do i good job at holding my mistking, and today i went to zip it up and because its such a tight fit the zipper broke. My cham is not in it yet, i was just getting it all ready to move him into it this weekend. The size of it is 30x30x48. I went out tonight at bought the reptibreez but its olny 24x24x48.
How is your new cham doing?

He's good, he's a bit stressed and getting used to the enclosure still!
Definitely go with the reptibreeze, it has very good lighting also!
24x24x48 is more than enough room for your panther!

Shane, don't use either!, the zip is a pain in the a#% and the reptibreeze in the 2x2x4 is an absolute piece of cr@p. It has a major design flaw, they know it and have no plans of making improvements.
Check out DIY, sponsor here, much better cage, stronger, sturdier, no flaws for about the same price.
This is my personal experience, not just a hand me down opinion.
You will be miserable with the reptibreeze and the zip gets old pretty quick
P.S. Eric at DIY sells his 2x2x4's for 95.00...shipped, not sure you can beat the price! !

DIYcages are awesome!! I built my first cage and ordered DIY for the rest. Don't regret it for even a second! They're sturdy, look nice and hold up really well for years. Can't complain about the price either!

i got my cages from lllreptile and they are holding up as well. no rusting or anything. i bougt a cage off criagslist and the screen seems to split if i ziptie anything too it, it seems alot cheaper than my lll cage

id say the reptibreeze i currently have both the flexarium and the reptibreez and i prefere the the reptibreeze over the felxarium but the flexarium is less expensive and can get the job done

Reptibreeze has been good for my chams. sturdy and strong enough to do its job. lll reptiles sells a similar product, that has been proven to work well. except it is less expensive by a few bucks.

I have had my felxarium for about a month now and havent really used it untill yessterday when i started to set it up with plants. I went to zip it up and the seam on the zipper split. Glad it happened before i had chamelio in it.
every model of reptibreeze is trash. I have 5 and all garbage compared to LLL ,DIY, or any other exact same thing. They look the same but, Zoo Med is the cheapest piece of trash I have ever used. I have so many cause I end up getting animals then running to petsmart and they are in stock. Usually Ill buy them then order LLL and return reptibreeze back to petsmart, some times i get stuck using them. I really dont like them at all.
Also have the exo terra screened and I really dont like them either. Maybe I just dont like junk. Seriously not like the stuff is cheap either to pay for.

Hey Hoj,
the reptibreeze 2x2x4's use a pin to secure the bottom kick panel, it is not secure at all. I basically have to hold the cage with both hands when I open it because the pin pops out, then pushes the side panels out and it kind of collapses. It is very light, cheap materials, and the screen mesh is not pulled tight making it hard to secure any type of branches.
I spoke to Ashley at Zoo Med, they know its a design flaw but says its too expensive to make changes.
Kruiser knows how to pop the pins and escape, he did this on July 1st and got outside for 4 days before I found him.
I have more than one, some sit in the closet until I have my customs make

if it is the lower part that opens for cleaning i can see how that could be a problem with the larger cages i have not had that issue,
allthough i did think one was a lillte looser than the others, so all i did was remove the pannel and pulled the sides in a bit, not enough to make a obvious bend but enough of a tweak to tighten it right up, works fine for me and my lil guys,
my big cages are self made and way sturdier than anything i could buy, they are my fav, by far but the cost and easyness of the reptibreeze is nice
sorry to hear the arnt working well for you..
cheers
