7 best terrariums

Terrariums are called plastic or glass, specially equipped containers in which you can contain reptiles and amphibians. Sometimes, the terrarium is partially filled with water in order to grow snakes, toads, turtles and other exotic inhabitants of the reservoirs. Designers use aquaterrariums for planting and caring for tropical plants. And in some cases, terrariums become home to several types of pets at once. In order to create optimal conditions for animals to live, taking into account the peculiarities of their maintenance, it is necessary to competently approach the choice of a terrarium.

How to choose a terrarium

1. Kinds. Aquaterrariums are used for animals that spend most of their time in water. They are aquariums with a small land area, where after swimming you can bask in the rays of a lamp. Paludariums are suitable for plants and animals that need a greater proportion of land in relation to water 2: 1. Often they have 2 or 3 floors, where there is a bathing area on the first, a small house on the second, and a lamp area on the third.
2. Volume Each animal requires a certain amount of free space. If the terrarium is too small, the animals can hurt and even die.
3. Terraria manufacture material. As a rule, terrariums are made of glass or high-quality plastic. A plastic cover with ventilation holes is placed on top.
4. Additional elements. For each animal there are specific requirements for conditions of detention. Many amphibians need a heating lamp, others a particularly important balanced humidity level, which requires a hygrometer to measure. For the maintenance of some species of reptiles will need to connect additional equipment, for which special holes are provided in the terrariums.
