Terrarium plants contribute not only to the diversity of the vivarium but also to the health and well-being of its inhabitants. They help create different zones, meeting the specific needs and preferences of various reptile species:
Plants for Hiding: Some species prefer hiding or protective places, and plants can provide such a refuge.
Plants for Nesting: They are ideal for creating egg-laying sites, providing a suitable breeding environment.
Plants for Temperature Regulation: By creating shade, they help maintain a stable temperature in different areas of the vivarium.
Plants for Humidity Regulation: With their varying water needs, they can balance the humidity in the vivarium, creating different microclimates.
Additionally, plants not only improve the physical health of reptiles and air quality by absorbing harmful gases and releasing oxygen, but they also contribute to the aesthetics and natural look of the environment. They stimulate the interest and activity of reptiles, offering opportunities for hunting and play, which further enhances their physical activity.
