Plastic Terrarium And Faunariums
Market Guide:Plastic Terrariums And Faunariums
Plastic Terrariums are often called “faunariums” and are probably the cheapest form of container to house your snake in.This type of enclosure is perfect for housing hatchlings and smaller snakes while rearing them,offering a small and well ventilated temporary home.Its easy to control the temperature and humidity and that is why they are often used by reptile hobbyists as an isolation container for sick, injured,gravid or hibernating reptiles.
It is widely accepted that baby snakes do much better in small enclosures for the first year or so of their life,so this cheap plastic snake containers are ideal for raising them fast and trouble free.I like to think of them as a nursery, where the kids–> (baby snakes) play safely under a controlled environment.
Faunariums also come in handy for transporting reptiles, either bringing home your snake from the pet store or taking them to the vet for a check up.Additionally, many people use them as holding tanks while cleaning their larger permanent enclosures,If you ever tried to handle a snake that does not what to be handled you’d know what am talking about. So imagine when you try to clean their glass terrarium and these guys dont sit still for no one, i pop them in one of this faunariums, clean their home without them slithering all over the place and then put them back.DONE!
Reptile Enclosures : Terrariums and Snake Tanks
Market Guide:Terrariums And Snake Enclosures
Introduction :
Several years ago most terrariums where hand made by hobbyists mainly due to the lack of good commercial reptile enclosures, so reptile keepers (including me) would either have to modify fish aquariums or build terrariums out of glass panels resulting in poor quality enclosures and ugly silicone smeared all around the corners ,not to mention the possibility of a snake escaping from gaps and improper doors and lids. !Today i really dont see the point in going through this messy and painstaking process.I for once have replaced all my custom enclosures with commercial ones.They are much better looking than the ones i used to make, its faster and better altogether.I will however admit that for larger snake like adult Burmese -Reticulated Pythons or Anacondas you will be forced to make a custom enclosures.
