Terrainiums are enclosures designed for temporary reptile display, transport, or housing hatchlings. Traditionally, most terrainiums are made of wood with glass windows, which can hinder the use of UV lighting and reduce ventilation. This model addresses both these issues and offers several additional features beneficial to reptile keepers. Included in the box is a secure clip to prevent escape or potential harm to the inhabitants. The sides and back are blacked out to minimize stress from visual contact between multiple enclosures. The bottom of the enclosure features raised feet and a glass base, specifically designed to accommodate a reptile heat mat, and is optimized for use with Swell Heat Mats. This terrainium arrives pre-built, allowing you to focus on customizing it with plants, decor, and the appropriate substrate for your pet. Depending on the species, you may also require reptile heating and lighting, which are available in our product range. Maintenance of the terrainium is straightforward. Regularly remove soiled substrate and replenish it. Periodically disinfect the enclosure using a reptile-safe disinfectant to maintain cleanliness. Alternatively, you can create a bioactive enclosure that requires minimal cleaning.
