The exo terra paludarium combines the best of two worlds, the lower part has an extra tall upper front glass, which provides a higher water level compared to common terrariums. This allows you to incorporate a substantial water or aquarium section allowing you to keep aquatic animals and plants adjacent to the land or terrarium section.

ADVANCED ARBOREOUS AND PALUDARY HABITAT

Where the Terrarium and Aquarium Meet: The Exo Terra Paludarium is a semi-aquatic terrarium habitat that replicates a rainforest, swamp or stream and can house aquatic and terrestrial species of animals and plants. The word paludarium comes from the Latin word "palus", which means swamp. A paludarium combines the best of two worlds: the lower part has an extra tall front glass, providing a higher water level and volume compared to common terrariums. This allows you to incorporate a substantial water portion or aquarium section allowing you to keep aquatic animals and plants adjacent to the land or terrarium section. A portion of the aquatic section may consist of a false bottom, to support the land section, accommodate and hide aquatic appliances such as filters, pumps and water heaters and may function as a biological filtration medium.

Combine the best of two worlds!

Water plays a vital role in the lives of all animals. It is important for temperature regulation, nutrient absorption, waste elimination, body weight and health. In addition, many species require the presence of water for a period of time that can be short or long for certain stages of their life cycle such as mating, laying eggs, development (larval phase) or even molting. fur. In nature, events such as seasonal floods or heavy monsoon rains provide the essential circumstances for their survival. If water is not available for a significant period of time, they will perish or be unable to reproduce.

The living space of the Paludario consists of 3 different areas:

land area

The land zone is an area of ​​land with plants, trees, bushes and rocks that is never submerged. In tropical climates a variety of invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians can be found in this area.

riparian zone

The riparian zone or river bank is the interface between land and water. It is inhabited by semi-aquatic reptiles and amphibians.

aquatic area

The aquatic area can be a stream, pond or even a lake, home to turtles, aquatic amphibians, fish and freshwater shrimp. This expanded aquatic area is thanks to the lower front panel of the paludariums, which is approximately 27 cm high , allowing for a greater volume of water.

Decorative background with roots

The unique decorative root backdrop provides more climbing opportunities for paludarium inhabitants and simulates the natural environment of the roots of a banyan tree. The larger 3-D space makes it a great habitat for various arboreal species such as tree boas and pythons, day geckos, leaf-tailed geckos, tokay geckos, tree frogs, etc.
