Exo Terra Pro Paludarium Medium X-Tall - 60x45x90cm

The Exo Terra Pro Paludarium 60x45x90cm is a purpose-built glass terrarium designed for keepers who want to recreate multi-zone aquatic and terrestrial environments. Developed by European herpetologists, this extra-tall enclosure suits breeding colonies of small to medium arboreal geckos, salamanders, or larger arboreal spider species — anywhere a tall, humid, layered habitat is essential.

Three Distinct Living Zones

A paludarium divides the living space into three functional zones, each supporting different fauna and flora. The terrestrial zone is a permanent land area of plants, rocks, and substrate — home to reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates that never enter the water. The riparian zone forms the interface between land and water, providing habitat for semi-aquatic species that move between both. The aquatic zone accommodates fully aquatic life — fish, freshwater shrimps, aquatic amphibians, and turtles — in a stream, pond, or lake-style setup.

Waterproof Base and Drainage System

The extra-deep base is fully waterproof and built to hold standing water for genuine aquatic or swamp environments. A built-in bottom drainage system, complete with tubing, elbow connector, and tap valve, makes water changes and excess water removal straightforward without disturbing the entire setup. This system greatly reduces the effort involved in routine maintenance.

Ventilation and Climate Control

The Pro Paludarium 60x45x90cm features a patented three-tier adjustable airflow system that gives precise control over air circulation within the enclosure. Forced vertical airflow actively prevents condensation, keeping the front glass clear and maintaining a healthier respiratory environment for reptiles and amphibians. Concealed ventilation keeps the exterior clean-lined, while an integrated dirt collector prevents dust or substrate from escaping through the vent holes.

Access, Security, and Maintenance

• Front-opening door with spring-loaded push latch for smooth, one-handed access
• Integrated lock prevents accidental door openings
• Removable top with patented in-frame locking mechanism for safe, easy maintenance
• Stainless steel screen top ensures optimal UVB and heat lamp penetration
• Raised bottom frame provides a secure platform for fitting a heat mat beneath the enclosure

Cable and Misting Management

Multiple self-closing inlets at the rear of the top panel allow wires and tubing to enter the enclosure cleanly. Internal gutters route tubing discreetly, and dedicated nozzle attachment points make fitting an automatic misting system straightforward. The enclosure is monsoon-compatible, though misting equipment is sold separately.

For keepers building a serious bioactive or paludarium setup, the Exo Terra Pro Paludarium 60x45x90cm brings together every practical feature in one well-engineered enclosure — making complex, multi-zone environments genuinely achievable and sustainable long-term.
