Where Terrarium Meets Aquarium: The Exo Terra Paludarium is a semi-aquatic terrarium that mimics a rainforest, swamp, or stream, accommodating both aquatic and terrestrial animal and plant life. This paludarium merges the best features of both environments: the lower section has a notably tall front glass, which allows for a higher water level and increased water volume compared to standard terrariums.

The distinctive root background provides additional climbing spaces and recreates a natural banyan tree-root habitat. The enhanced 3-D living area makes it an ideal home for various arboreal species such as tree boas & pythons, day geckos, leaf-tailed geckos, tokay geckos, tree frogs, and more.

The taller front glass of the Exo Terra Paludarium allows for a significant aquatic section or aquarium area, enabling you to house aquatic creatures and plants alongside the land or terrarium space. Part of the aquatic area can feature a false bottom that supports the land section, conceals aquatic equipment like filters, pumps, and heaters, while also functioning as biological filtration media.

The term paludarium is derived from the Latin word “palus,” meaning swamp.

The Paludarium comprises 3 distinct zones:

Terrestrial Zone
This land area is filled with plants, trees, bushes, and rocks that remain above water. In tropical regions, this zone supports a variety of invertebrates, reptiles, and amphibians.

Riparian Zone
The riparian zone or riverbank serves as the boundary between land and water, inhabited by semi-aquatic reptiles and amphibians.

Aquatic Zone
The aquatic zone can range from a stream, pond, or even a lake, serving as a habitat for turtles, aquatic amphibians, fish, and freshwater shrimp.

Water is crucial for the survival of all animals. It aids in temperature regulation, nutrient absorption, waste elimination, body weight maintenance, and overall health. Furthermore, many species need water during specific life stages such as mating, egg-laying, development (larval phase), or molting. In nature, occurrences like seasonal floods or heavy rains create essential conditions for their survival. Lack of water for extended periods can lead to mortality or hinder reproduction.

To create a waterfall, cascade, or background irrigation system, we suggest utilizing the Exo Terra Cascade High Performance Submersible Pump & Filter HP180 (not included). This powerful submersible pump features a 3-stage filtration system, specifically designed for waterfalls or cascading streams up to a maximum height of 180 cm (70”). The impressive pump height allows for a large single-step waterfall flowing from the top of your terrarium into a water reservoir below, or a multi-step cascade resembling a series of small waterfalls that flow into a winding stream at the bottom of your terrarium. The Cascade High Performance Pump is also perfect for continuously irrigating the terrarium background, fostering an ideal atmosphere for various lichens and mosses, ferns, vines, bromeliads, orchids, and epiphytic plants. The Exo Terra Cascade’s low-voltage pump is safe for use in wet areas.

Direct the water from the filtration pump throughout your terrarium along a background adorned with live plants and moss, or create waterfalls that gradually return the water to the reservoir. Waterfalls enhance visual appeal and promote oxygenation and biological filtration of the water. Live plants and moss contribute to the overall filtration system of your terrarium. This setup enables you to establish an efficient filtration process that mirrors natural biological filtration. A well-functioning paludarium will provide a continuous source of clean water, crucial for maintaining semi-aquatic species. It essentially forms a small, closed ecosystem.

The front-opening doors can be opened individually to minimize escape risks while allowing easy access for maintenance and feeding. A specially designed lock prevents animals from unintentionally opening the doors. The fully screened top allows for UVB and infrared penetration and can be completely removed for effortless access during decorating or cleaning. At the back of the screen cover, there are 5 closable inlets for wires or tubes on both sides to facilitate the installation of waterfalls, pumps, aquarium heaters, sensors, and more inside the terrarium.

An adequately equipped and functioning paludarium operates as a small, closed ecosystem.
Utilize Biotize to accelerate biological filtration capabilities and establish your bio-active ecosystem swiftly.

Various reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrates, and plants can thrive in the Exo Terra paludarium. Stream-dwelling species like small turtles, basilisks, water dragons, anoles, newts, salamanders, tree frogs, dart frogs, and small fish species will flourish in the paludarium. Other species suitable for a paludarium include mudskippers, freshwater or brackish crabs, shrimp, and snails.

Conduct regular water quality checks to assess the effectiveness of your filtration system. Partial water changes can help eliminate toxins or enhance overall water quality. Unless absolutely necessary, avoid complete water changes, as this can also remove beneficial bacteria and organisms.

Set up a paludarium and enjoy a stunning rainforest ambiance right in your living room!

Perfect for arboreal reptiles and amphibians, as well as taller live plants, this Rainforest Terrarium serves as an ideal habitat for vertical or tree-dwelling species, encouraging their natural vertical movement.

Solid, Detailed Design
Color: White, Color: White
I really like this garden angel statue -- from the SAMPU CRAFT store. I like the features and the overall design. The product features a solar lamp. It's super easy to use and requires no wires or electricity. The lamp is easily removed, so you can charge it up in a sunny spot and replace it if necessary. It doesn't take much sun to charge it up. While it's not an overly bright lamp, it will last for hours. The design of the angel figurine is very detailed and expressive. The wings and hair are particularly well done. I love the gently curved posture of the angel as she rests her face on her hands. The figurine is on the smaller side -- only about a foot high -- but it stands out as a nice statue in my garden. This garden piece would definitely work on the lawn or on a porch. It's a nice yellowish-white that would blend in to most places. But, there are a few green vines painted along the side of the little lamp post which makes it perfect to sit in a garden. The lamp casing itself is black and will just disappear when the light is on. I have several angel statues and I must say -- this one is very nice and stands out. It makes for a soothing, peaceful addition to my memory garden! Thank you.

Good Quality
Color: White
This is absolutely beautiful. The lighting is ambient and not bright, with a warm glow (not as bright as the photos), and the charge lasts about 3 hours, give or take. The plaster mold is done very well so that it looks high end. It is also high-quality because I dropped it and it didn't break. For this reason, the price is right. This would be a great gift, but also a wonderful ornament for the yard or even as a welcome at the front door.

Looks nice, and works well but the light doesn't fit well.
Color: White
I have mixed feelings about this little angel light. I got it for my mom, and she really loves it, and it looks great on the edge of the garden by the walkway up to the house. It doesn't provide a lot of light, but what it does offer is just enough at night to help people navigate until they're close enough for our motion activated porch light to turn on. The light however just doesn't come installed in the figure and doesn't fit very well into the hole it's supposed to sit in. I used some thick double sided tape as a gasket to hold it in place and solved the problem, but it's worth noting anyway. As for overall quality, it's ok, but not great. The figure is made of resin (plastic), and is fairly thin and not very strong. It's also very light and can be knocked or blown over by wind very easily. The casting on the angel itself is ok, but the socket the light sets into was misshapen and I also had to clean it up to even get the light to fit into it. (There was some flashing at the bottom of the hole that prevented it from sitting all the way down) Battery life seems to be pretty good, and lasts through the night as long as it gets enough sun during the day, but on cloudy days it tends to only last a few hours at most. And the light sensor does work well, it comes on right at dusk. As for value I'm not sure I'd say it's a great deal for the current price, but if you can find it on sale might be worth getting. Of course on anything decorative value is subjective and depends largely on how much you like the look of it. As always if I encounter any other issues or think of anything else to add I'll update this review!
