Temperate and Subtropical Zones part 4

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009


Plants that are most suited to the temperate/subtropical terrarium require a relative humidity factor of approximately 50% to 60%.  The spider plant Chlorophytum, is a hardy plant that requires full sun; this plant might do well in a temperate/subtropical environment. Other possible candidates include Cordyline, Setcreasea, and Yucca plants. These are all plants that require full sun. Yucca has hazardous points at the ends of its leaves. Nevertheless, this plant makes a beautiful appearance in just about any location. Another drawback to yuccas is their inclination to demand cool temperatures during the winter months.

Stenotaphrum (St. Augustine’s grass), which also requires full sun, might be grown successfully in the temperate/subtropical habitat. Dracaena and Ficus (fig) plants, which need plenty of light, should not be exposed.

Terrarium Care

Friday, November 20th, 2009


     Captive habitat of any animal should be attempted.

     Adequate air circulation certainly is necessary in any enclosed lizard habitat to prevent air stagnation, and in the case of tropical rain-forest environments, to prevent the growth of molds and other fungi. An answer to the question of producing an air current within the lizard’s habitat might be the placement of a small circular fan above the terrarium with the top of the enclosure at least partially covered by a screen. If the inhabitants retreat when the fan is turned on, try locating the fan further away from the terrarium. As with all electrical appliances, never allow the fan to come into contact with water.

     As far as providing heat and light are concerned, the available alternatives make it seem reasonable that daytime lighting using a mixture of suitable fluorescent tubes and incandescent bulbs rated at 60 watts or less is the safest and most efficient way of meeting these requirements.
