What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: the title calls this a double compact top, while other text calls it a small or compact top and lists the model as Exo Terra Linear Top. Listed dimensions are 20W x 9H centimetres despite the 45cm title, and bulb information names both T8 and E27. The descriptions allow one or more bulbs but do not clearly establish the supplied bulb count. Customer feedback also reports no UK plug, so verify plug compatibility and the selected listing's exact size and bulb configuration before purchase.

Customer feedback praises perceived build quality, fit on top of the cage and appearance. Reports on reliability and value are mixed, including accounts of units stopping working within three months. Size opinions also differ, and some customers report that the product does not come with a UK plug. These points matter because the listing describes a canopy for a specific terrarium fit and gives conflicting size details. Check dimensions and plug compatibility, and weigh the reported reliability concerns against your intended use.
