Exo Terra Natural Paludarium

Aquarium and terrarium in one? With Exo Terra's unique Natural Paludarium, you can have both! The beautiful paludarium is made of high-quality glass and allows you to create breathtaking semi-aquatic terrarium landscapes such as rainforests, swamps or river habitats.

In addition to its visual appeal, the Natural Paludarium offers a number of other important features. The depth of the waterproof paludarium floor is 20cm, which makes the front floor glass at the bottom part of the paludarium much higher than usual. This allows you to create a higher water level in the paludarium which provides a habitat for both terrestrial plants and animals as well as aquatic ones. Thanks to a specially integrated false floor, a part of the water in the paludarium can be used by your pets to stay safely on dry parts or to hide pumps, filters and other technical devices from view thus preserving the natural look. The double bottom can also act as a biological filter medium.

The paludarium features two separate front doors that can both be opened to allow for easy access when feeding or cleaning. The doors are very robust and keep the animals safely inside. The doors are fitted with a strong lock so that animals cannot accidentally open them. The removable cover of the paludarium consists of a fine-meshed metal fabric that lets in UV rays and fresh air - both essential to the health of your pets. Resealable cable and hose openings have been integrated into the back of the cover on both sides.

The stone back wall of the paludarium resembles the twining roots of a banyan tree. These are suitable for climbing and also create a great waterfall effect when water is allowed to flow down with a pump. Waterfalls not only look fantastic, they are also a great way to aerate the water, adding oxygen to it. Ideally, living plants and mosses that contribute to the filtering system can also be placed on the back wall. The combination of waterfalls, plants and mosses contributes to an effective filter system and thus a closed ecosystem.

Regularly checking the water quality in your paludarium is extremely important!
