Paludarium Design: Terrarium Meets Aquarium
The Exo Terra Paludarium Mini Extra Tall combines land and water zones to mimic natural habitats. Its extra-high front bottom glass allows for a substantial aquatic section while maintaining terrestrial and riparian areas. The paludarium includes three distinct zones:
-
Terrestrial Zone: Land area for plants, trees, rocks, and arboreal or burrowing species
-
Riparian Zone: Interface between land and water for semi-aquatic species
-
Aquatic Zone: Stream, pond, or water section for aquatic amphibians, fish, turtles, and invertebrates
The root-style background provides climbing opportunities, creating a 3-D environment for tree-dwelling species such as tree boas, pythons, day geckos, leaf-tailed geckos, tokay geckos, and tree frogs.
Ecosystem & Water Management
Water plays a vital role in temperature regulation, nutrient absorption, and biological filtration. By incorporating the Exo Terra Cascade High Performance Submersible Pump & Filter HP180 (not included), you can create waterfalls, streams, and irrigation systems, ensuring oxygenation and natural filtration for plants and aquatic animals.
A fully functioning paludarium is a small, closed ecosystem, where partial water changes, live plants, and filtration help maintain optimal water quality. Using Biotize can accelerate the biological filtration for a bio-active setup.
Ideal Species & Plants
This paludarium is perfect for:
-
Arboreal reptiles like tree boas and geckos
-
Amphibians like dart frogs, tree frogs, and salamanders
-
Aquatic species like small turtles, fish, shrimp, crabs, and mudskippers
-
Live tropical plants including mosses, bromeliads, orchids, and ferns
Its vertical design promotes climbing and natural vertical movement, ideal for taller live plants and tree-dwelling species.
