Well there are a lot, but here is a list of the most common plants:

Containers with awkward shapes are also a no-no; they’re much more likely to trap liquids and gasses. That makes broad, evenly shaped containers like cubes, spheres, fish tanks, and Wardian cases the best candidates. Often the simplest containers are the best. We found this one with a completely open top – making it super easy to work with. #3: Light Kits usually consist of the tank itself, soil or other substrate, some plants, decorative items, etc.

Now It’s Your Turn

Inlets in the tank allow you to run tubes or wires through. You can also keep them closed if needed. Snake terrariums come in a wide variety of sizes, styles, and materials to suit the needs of various types of snakes. They also are a great way to show off your snake and add some life and color to your home. Thank you for the comment. I have to be honest here and point out that the opinions on using red light bulbs differ. There is a school of thought saying that, in theory, red lights could still interfere with leos’ circadian rhythm since they emit a certain amount of light. Still, my leos never seemed to be stressed from it, and many experienced hobbyists have never experienced any proposed adverse effect of red light bulbs. Everyone should do their research and decide for themselves. Ceramic bulbs (Ceramic Heat Emitters or CHE) are a viable alternative no-light alternative to provide nighttime heating from above. Let me guess, you already know that humidity is a key to the success of a rainforest terrarium and that most plants and animals require drinking water. Bottle-spray the moss very often, particularly in the first few weeks of introducing them into your terrarium.

Seriously, don’t try it. Though they’re only typically poisonous in the wild, it’s a terrible idea to put one in your mouth… or put your hands in your mouth after handling them. You will want to clean and then rinse the tank to make sure it is safe and free from toxic compounds. You could easily adapt a smaller tabletop terrarium to house a mantis. They’re arguably one of the best nano terrarium pets. It’s best to give them some driftwood to hang from, though. Thermostats (you can find thermostats through other outlets, but they won’t be designed for use in a vivarium)Humidity, watering frequency, and light levels are all going to be different for a container that’s keeping lizards vs. a tropical plant or moss terrarium.

The right balance of water – ideally, there’d be just enough water in the system to facilitate the water cycle. For more help on watering, see my full guide to watering terrariums. If you put your new terrarium in a bright, sunlit spot in your home, it will start to turn into a greenhouse in hot weather. It is best to find a warm, shaded spot to keep your new pet. Snail Terrarium Maintenance and Cleaning Unfortunately, the cheaper potting soil option tends to come with various harmful pesticides and chemicals. It’s just not worth the risk.Coconut coir – the fibrous husks of the inner shell of the coconut, used as a plant growth medium and tank substrate. I would not recommend having two males together intact. Once mature, They may not get along. Adding an intact female will further aggravate them and make them compete. A rule of thumb seems to be 1 gallon per snail, but that feels a little on the small side. For the snail and just in terms of having a functional and aesthetic plant terrarium. Mossarium – A mossarium is a container dedicated entirely to growing moss. It might sound a little dull, but you’d be surprised how beautiful these can be. I am partial to a bit of moss.
