Description Glass terrariums are the preferred choice of professional herpetologists. They offer the best visibility for your animal; they are suitable for wet and humid conditions, they are hygienic and easy to clean. Glass also maintains the correct thermal gradient more safely and easily – maintaining the correct thermal gradient is critical to the well-being of reptiles and amphibians as they use external heat sources in their environment to regulate their body temperatures. In the wild, these animals move around their habitat (from sunlight to shade or from above ground to burrows, for example) to regulate their body temperature. If they get too cool, their metabolism slows down (and in conditions that are too hot or too cold, they enter a state of inactivity or hibernation). Maintaining an appropriate temperature is vital for bodily functions such as digestion. It is important to provide suitable temperature conditions for the animal to grow and thrive. For many reptiles, however, it’s not just about ensuring a constant temperature. They require a thermal gradient, or a range of temperatures from high to low end. This way the animal can switch to a higher or lower temperature to suit its needs at any given time.
