Start Your Terrarium Successfully – A Checklist With Questions

Before purchasing a terrarium animal you need to ask yourself three fundamental questions:

  1. How much space can you free up for your terrarium (the general rule is: the more space, the better)?
  2. Which animals with the demands of their species fit into the space you have available?
  3. Which terrarium animals do you choose from the “suitable list” to care for, having looked at their further requirements and behaviour?

Only once you have answered these three questions, will you not only be sure that your dream will come true, but also that you can offer your future fellow lodger a new home which meets the demands of its species, its body size and its movement needs. You can answer the last two questions, regarding their demands on food and living space, quickly and easily:

  1. How does the terrarium need to be set-up to reproduce the natural habitat in all its details (chances to retreat, feeding and drinking area, sunny spot, large floor space for bottom-dwellers, climbing opportunities for tree dwellers, space for hygiene activities)?
  2. Which technical equipment is required to recreate the temperature, humidity and UV radiation of the natural habitat?

All of the equipment and technical items need to be adapted exactly to the volume of the terrarium at all times. The motto “ the more the better” doesn’t apply here.

Setting up your first terrarium can be as easy as this. Thanks to these three questions you won’t forget anything and there is nothing to stand in the way of a successful start.

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.
