sera guide - Biotope terrariums for reptiles and amphibians

13 sera Aquaterrariums The aquaterrarium is for keeping reptiles and am- phibians that both live in water and – at least tem- porarily – on the land. Depending on the species kept, a terrarium may be suitable for making an aquaterrarium if you separate a part of the terrarium as a swimming zone (e.g. for frogs or newts); or you can use a special aquaterrarium such as the sera reptil aqua biotop (e.g. for terrapins). Ideally, both land and water sections are heated and have approximately the same temperature as to pre- vent colds. A heater thermostat for aquariums is par- ticularly well suited for heating the water. It is in- stalled under water, and you can adjust the desired temperature. When keeping terrapins, make sure the glass tube of the heater is protected so it cannot be destroyed by the animals. The sera aquarium heater thermostats with safety protector ensure highest safety. There are special radiant heaters for warming up the land part, e.g. the sera reptil thermo ceramic radiant heater (page 26).
