[arielito]

Hi, i'm new in this forum and new too in constructing terrariums. Please i'd like to know what's the false bottom for? I'm from argentina and i cant get any information here so if any of you could explain that to me would be great

There is really so much information on false bottoms here, that I truly believe if you just read some of the threads you will have a great understanding of them. Start off with the sticky's at the top of this thread.

One of the primary purposes is to allow a natural like drainage so the floor of the vivarium/terrarium is not a swampy bacterial mess that smells bad.
If you include a water feature this can also be a route for the water to return to the pump/filtration.

And you can get more infos if you take the time to read posts on this forum....

If you are lazy looking for it, don't mind me being lazy answering this question

Ok seriously, by reading some of those posts in here, you will answer this very question, and get a lot more information on the what, how, why. It will help you greatly in deciding what to do and how to make it.
