Terrarium Animals

Terrarium animals offer an opportunity to observe fascinating behaviour and adaptations at close range. Each species has its own requirements, which makes careful research essential before acquiring a new animal. Important factors include adult size, lifespan, diet, temperament and the required temperature, humidity and lighting conditions.

The enclosure should always be designed around the natural needs of the selected species. Depending on the animal, the habitat may require UVB lighting, controlled heating, elevated humidity, efficient ventilation or suitable areas for climbing, hiding and burrowing. Enclosure size, substrate and furnishings also have a major influence on the animal’s safety and welfare.

The selection may include lizards, snakes, tortoises, turtles, amphibians and various invertebrates. Availability can vary. Before choosing an animal, check its background, individual care requirements and any documentation or permits that may apply to the species.
