Too little space limits your pet’s wellbeing.

Reptiles and birds need enough space to move, fly or explore according to their natural behavior, and a terrarium or cage that’s too small can cause stress, behavioral problems and even physical illness. Generic reference charts don’t always account for a species’ real adult size, so calculating it before buying helps you get it right from the start.

What result do you get?

  • Minimum recommended dimensions: approximate length, width and height based on the species.
  • Specific recommendations: a note if the species needs extra height (for climbing or flying) or additional floor space.
  • Differences by life stage: how space needs change between juvenile and adult.

Before buying the terrarium or cage:

Work out what size you need before choosing it, not after.

When adopting a new species:

Check whether your current terrarium or cage is suitable.

If your pet is still growing:

Check whether it will need more space once it reaches adult size.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need to create an account?

No, never. You can use the calculator directly, with no sign-up or passwords.

Does it work for both reptiles and birds?

Yes, the calculator covers both cases, adjusting recommendations depending on whether it’s a terrarium or a birdcage.

What if my pet is still young?

We recommend calculating the size based on its expected adult size, not its current one, so you don’t have to change terrariums or cages later.

Does this calculator replace a specialist’s advice?

No. It only gives general guidance. For specific questions about your pet, consult a specialized store or an exotic animal veterinarian.
