Exo Terra Pro Paludarium 60x45x90cm PT4410 Reptile Terrarium

The ET Pro Paludarium 60x45x90cm is a large-format, extra-tall glass terrarium designed specifically for keepers who want to build a fully functioning paludarium — an enclosure that integrates terrestrial, riparian, and aquatic zones within a single habitat. Developed by European herpetologists, it suits breeding colonies of small to medium arboreal geckos, salamanders, or larger arboreal spider species, as well as any setup where water and land coexist.

Three Distinct Living Zones

A true paludarium is structured around three ecological layers, and this enclosure is built to support all of them. The terrestrial zone provides dry land for plants, rocks, and climbing structures — never submerged. The riparian zone represents the transitional bank between land and water, ideal for semi-aquatic reptiles and amphibians. The aquatic zone can function as a stream, pond, or still-water environment, housing fish, aquatic amphibians, or freshwater shrimps.

Waterproof Base and Drainage System

The extra-deep base is fully waterproof when the included tubing, elbow connector, and tap valve are connected to the drain outlet. A built-in bottom drainage system makes water removal and weekly water changes straightforward — no siphoning or disassembly required. The raised bottom frame also allows a heat mat to be mounted securely underneath, enabling stable temperature gradients without placing heating elements inside the wet zone.

Ventilation and Condensation Control

Managing humidity without losing visibility is one of the core challenges of paludarium keeping. This enclosure addresses it with a three-tier adjustable airflow system and a patented forced vertical airflow design that actively works against condensation on the glass. Ventilation is concealed within the frame for a clean finish, and an integrated dirt collector prevents substrate or sand from escaping through the vent apertures.

Access, Security, and Maintenance

• Front-opening door fitted with a spring-loaded push latch for smooth, single-handed access
• Integrated lock on the door prevents accidental openings
• Removable top with a patented in-frame locking mechanism for secure but easy removal during maintenance
• Stainless steel mesh top screen for optimal UVB penetration
• Multiple self-closing inlets at the rear of the top panel for wires or tubing
• Internal gutters for cable and tube routing
• Dedicated nozzle attachment points for an automatic misting system (misting system not included)

Habitat Versatility

The 60x45x90cm footprint and tall profile give meaningful vertical space for arboreal species and allow genuinely varied microhabitats — different humidity pockets, temperature gradients, and concealment options across the enclosure's height. The design accommodates rainforest, swamp, and riverside biotope builds equally well, making it one of the more adaptable large-format enclosures available for specialist setups.

For keepers serious about building a bioactive or naturalistic paludarium, this enclosure provides the structural foundation — waterproofing, drainage, airflow control, and access — to do it properly from the outset.
