The word paludarium originates from the Latin word “palus” which stands for swamp. Paludariums are semi-aquatic terrarium habitats that replicate a rainforest, swamp or stream and can harbor aquatic as well as terrestrial animal and plant species. A paludarium combines the best of two worlds: an extra deep bottom allows you to incorporate a substantial water part or aquarium section adjacent to the land or terrarium section. A fully equipped and functioning paludarium is basically a small, closed ecosystem.	The Exo Terra Landscaping Substrates mimic the natural soil found in arid regions, like deserts or savannahs. Most desert soils are not purely sand-based but rather a combination of sand, decomposed granite and clay resulting in interesting and sometimes colorful rock formations. Exo Terra’s Landscaping Substrates allow you to create your own desert or savannah landscape, including cool-humid burrows as well as warmer elevated basking areas.	Reptiles are ectotherm, and use heat from an external source to thermoregulate their optimal body temperature. Most reptiles use direct radiant heat from the sun in combination with conductive heat from sun-heated surfaces such as branches, rocks or other heat accumulating structures. Providing such an appropriate, species related, temperature gradient in the terrarium is an important factor in successful reptile keeping. With the Exo Terra Thermostats you can create a well-controlled heating system that allows you to maintain the required temperature conditions similar to those found in a desert or tropical environment.	The Exo Terra Misters are misting systems suitable for all types of terrariums and greenhouses. They help maintain optimal humidity by generating a fine mist which can be easily adjusted depending on the type of animal or plant housed. Frequent misting helps stimulate breeding behaviour, and is a necessity when housing live tropical plants such as Bromeliads, orchids, mosses, etc.


The Exo Terra Sub Stratum is collected from the mineral-rich foothills of the Aso Volcano in Japan. The natural volcanic soil, formed from andesitic and rhyolitic tephra, is very nutrient rich, ideal for lush plant growth in bioactive planted terrariums. The porous surface allows for excellent drainage and aeration, supporting strong root growth. The Sub Stratum’s friable, low density structure promotes a flourishing population of beneficial, nitrifying bacteria, creating a self-sustaining, living terrarium ecosystem. The active beneficial bacteria of the soil will decompose biological waste, keeping the terrarium clean and healthy.	The Exo Terra Reptile UVB NANO bulb emits optimal levels of UVA & UVB and is an excellent UV source for Nano Terrarium setups. The small dimension of this Reptile UVB NANO is perfect for use with the Exo Terra Reptile Deep Dome NANO; a fixture specifically designed for use on NANO and MINI terrariums. The bulb’s optimal Vitamin D3 yield index ensures vitamin D3 photosynthesis to aid calcium absorption and prevent metabolic diseases while the UVA rays will contribute to the animal’s overall wellbeing.	The Exo Terra Incubation Devices make incubating reptile eggs safer, less complicated, and improve hatching rates. No matter if you prefer the Suspended Incubation Method or the more traditional Incubation Substrate method, with the Exo Terra Incubation Devices your reptile eggs are easy to incubate. The Exo Terra Incubation Devices are the only incubating devices on the market that control both temperature and humidity with high accuracy.	The Exo Terra Dart Frog Terrarium is the ideal amphibian habitat designed by European herpetologists, perfect for bioactive planted setups. The single front opening door allows maximum viewing pleasure and provides easy access for maintenance and feeding. A push-button lock keeps the terrarium secure and can even be outfitted with an optional lock to prevent unwanted opening.


Care Guides At Exo Terra, we understand that owning a reptile or amphibian is a unique and rewarding experience. However, it also comes with its own set of responsibilities. That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive resource to help you navigate the intricate world of herpetoculture and provide the best possible care for your animals. Whether you’re a beginner enthusiast or an experienced herpetologist, our academy offers a wealth of information, tips, and insights to enhance your understanding and skills in reptile and amphibian care. We cover everything from choosing the right habitat and selecting suitable species to creating optimal environments and maintaining proper nutrition.	Academy Reptile keeping is a rewarding and fulfilling hobby requiring some basic knowledge and dedication. It is essential to understand the needs of the reptile species you are interested in keeping, as each species has unique requirements for temperature, lighting, diet, and enclosure size. In this section, you will find detailed information on the various species of reptiles commonly kept as pets, including their natural history, care requirements, and potential health issues.	Expeditions In contrast to other animal groups, reptiles and amphibians are neglected subjects for expedition studies. Very few reptile communities have been adequately documented concerning their behaviour. A carefully conducted study lasting just a few weeks can significantly contribute to the pool of scientific knowledge for most species of lizards, snakes and amphibians.

Product Description

There are over 6,000 species of reptiles and over 4,000 species of amphibians, varying in size from around an inch to several feet. The terrarium is without doubt the most important aspect of successful reptile and amphibian keeping. Many species have different requirements, so a versatile and easily adaptable terrarium is essential. In order to meet the needs of the hobbyist and more importantly, the needs of reptiles and amphibians, Exo Terra developed a wide range of terrariums. All of these terrariums can be used for several applications and set-ups; from sterile housing to a state-of-the-art natural terrarium, from a desert terrarium to a tropical terrarium. Although very similar in shape and size as the “aquarium-type” tanks, these new versions have all the great features of the typical Exo Terra terrarium.

The Exo Terra Natural Glass Terrarium is the ideal reptile or amphibian housing designed by European herpetologists. There are 12 different sizes of the Exo Terra Natural Glass Terrariums, all built with the same great features that help provide your reptile or amphibian with a durable and comfortable environment to live in.

The front opening doors (single door on the Nano terrariums) allow easy access for maintenance and feeding. A specially designed lock will prevent escape and the doors can be opened separately. The full screen top ventilation allows UVB and infrared penetration, and is completely removable for easy access while decorating or cleaning. In the back of the screen cover are five closable wire or tube inlets on both sides to install Heat Wave Rocks, Waterfalls, sensors, etc. inside the terrarium. The bottom plate of the terrarium is raised to mount a substrate heater to heat a part of the extended ground surface. The extra high fixed front window is ideal for thick layers of substrates (burrowing reptiles), aquatic parts (paludarium) or to mount an Exo Terra reptile den. The natural background is in the same color like all other Exo Terra decoration items (Water Dishes, Waterfalls, Heat Wave Rocks, etc.) and provides an extra climbing dimension.

Product Features

Dual Doors:
The dual front opening doors (single door on Nanos) allow easy access for maintenance, misting and feeding. During terrarium maintenance, one door can be kept closed at all times; reducing the risk of escape by a swift reptile or feeder insect, and better retains the heat and humidity inside at the same time. Pivoting doors are far superior to sliding doors, as sand and other debris can jam the sliding doors.
Lock:
A reliable specially designed lock prevents unwanted opening from children or pets and is an extra security measure to keep the animals in the terrarium.
Removable Stainless Steel Cover:
The full screen top allows UVB and infrared penetration, and is completely removable for easy access while decorating or cleaning. Durable locks at the sides secure the screen top to the terrarium frame. The top has built-in closable inlets on both sides to securely run wires and tubing inside the terrarium and keeps small reptiles and feeder insects inside the terrarium.
Waterproof Base:
The extra high fixed front lower panel allows for deep layers of substrate, provides space for glass mounted decor like the Exo Terra Reptile Den or can be used to create a water feature as high as the ventilation strip. Every terrarium is tested for leaks.
Raised Bottom Frame:
The bottom glass panel of the terrarium is raised to facilitate the mounting of a substrate heater or heat cable, and prevents heating accessory problems normally associated with standard “aquarium style” terrariums. It keeps the entire bottom panel well ventilated to ensure optimal hot and cold spots.
Enlarged Ground Surface:
The Exo Terra terrarium is deeper than the “Aquarium-type” tank, resulting in an extended ground surface. This gives the space needed for desert and ground dwelling reptiles and amphibians to thrive.
Natural-Looking Rock Background:
The natural looking rock background is in the same color family as other Exo Terra accessories blending nicely for a natural looking habitat. The background provides an extra climbing dimension and endless terrarium design opportunities. The background also provides channels for running cords and tubing form the bottom to the top of the terrarium without being seen.
