    Abstract: An automated terrarium feeder assembly includes a cover that is longitudinally elongated thereby facilitating the cover to be positioned on top of a terrarium to inhibit a reptile contained in the terrarium from escaping. A feeder is movably integrated into the cover to release a pre-determined amount of the reptile food into the terrarium to feed the reptile while an owner of the reptile is not present for extended periods of time. A heat lamp is integrated into the cover to warm the reptile. A light emitter is integrated into the cover to illuminate the terrarium. A touch screen is attached to the cover and the touch screen is in communication with the feeder for programming operational parameters of the feeder, the heat lamp, the light emitter and the blower.
