The location of the terrarium

With a few exceptions, any indoor location is suitable. However, make sure you choose a place where you can observe the animals comfortably from your own favourite spot. You should also be able to reach the terrarium for cleaning, feeding, etc. without having to contort yourself! And make sure not to choose a location with the risk of overheating from sunlight, such as a spot near a window. Attic flats which are very warm in the summer and barely cool off at night are not suited for keeping heat-sensitive species. Last, but not least, the weight-bearing capacity of the surface under the terrarium must also be taken into account.

The climate in your terrarium

The climate in the terrarium is the most important factor for your animals‘ wellbeing. The animals will only be able to display their full repertoire of behaviour and lead a healthy life if the natural climate of their immediate habitat is reproduced as closely as possible by a skilful application of equipment.

The most important climatic factors in a terrarium are made up of the temperature zones (the air and the floor/substrate and of basking spots with high temperatures); the lighting (duration, intensity and quality of light); the relative humidity; and ventilation (air supply/removal). As in the wild, these individual climate elements impact each other and are subject to the changes occurring in the course of a day.

The relative humidity normally decreases as the running time of the lighting and heating equipment increases. Please remember this when choosing your terrarium. The individual climate parameters usually change quickly in a small tank, and therefore need to be adapted continually with the use of sophisticated control technology or repeated manual intervention. In large tanks, the climatic factors change much more slowly and it is easier to create zones with different microclimates (zones of different temperatures and humidities) so the animals can seek out places with the climatic conditions they prefer at a given time.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
