Default First terrarium - ExoTerra 90x45x45
Hi guys,

My name is Ionut, I'm from Iasi, Romania and I want to share with you some pictures with my first terrarium. I hope you like it and I'm opened to any improvement ideas.

A first attempt but I was not very happy with it so I changed it:


And now the terrarium as it looks now:

Hi Ionut- the tank looks good. Are you planning on putting an animal in there?

Not for the moment. I just want to see how it's evolving this way.

a small brom, some moss and a creeping plant like ficus pumilio would look great in there imho.

tank looks great as it is, honestly.

Tank looks simple, yet well planned.

I like that size of exo-terra. Ive never seen one so long without being 24" high. It would be the perfect size for a group of terrestrial darts.

Are the backgrounds the Exo Terra ones that come with the tanks? Or are they Hand Made?

@claymore: It's the default background from Exo Terra

I've been playing a little bit with the plants arrangement as you can see below:

Wow, Exo Terra must be making those backgrounds better than they used to. They look way better and more like rocks!

Whats the light green plant on the right hand side of the right side??? Looks like some kind of Palm?

Its latin name is "Chamaerops humilis", also known as "European Fan Palm". Actually this is the only palm native to Europe.

Mediterranean (European) Fan Palms - (Chamaerops humilis) - Cold Hardy Palm Trees
