    I'm always concerned with introducing non-native species into the wild locally by accident or otherwise. There have been too many cases where the aquarium or gardening hobbies brought in invasive species that were hard to deal with afterwards. You would think that mosses would not be a major concern, but the critters with legs may be a different story. :)

    Terarriums are not tropical environments unless you make them that, and you absolutely can get lots of bugs from outside your door and put them in there and they will be very happy. If they thrive in a moist environment

    • @WorcesterTerrariums
      @WorcesterTerrariums  Рік тому

      Tropical climates are defined by a monthly average temperature of 18 °C and with ambient temperature of homes in the UK is between 18ºc-21ºc, combined with the humidity of a terrarium = tropical environment. I totally disagree with your statement about getting lots of bugs from outside so long as they thrive in a moist environment. It's always better to do a little research to ensure what you're putting inside will actually like being there.
