What is a terrarium?

A terrarium is literally a piece of garden or a miniature glass garden. A terrarium is a living environment but made artificially, designed to keep flowers and plants and display pets such as reptiles, small mammals, birds and insects.

Terrariums are made in different types and with different dimensions and shapes. Some of them include living terrariums, aquarium terrariums, and garden terrariums.

Terrariums usually consist of a glass or plastic box with a lid, the interior of which is decorated with plants, soil, sand, wood, and rocks. Some terrariums also include a heating and lighting system, which helps maintain suitable living conditions for the animals inside them. Terrariums are one of the most common ways to keep pets and are very attractive and useful for animal lovers and conservationists.
