Our Story

Pet Terrarium started with a love for animals and a habit of turning glass tanks into mini jungles. After years of working in pet shops and helping people with all kinds of creatures—from dart frogs to desert geckos—I decided to put everything in one place. This blog is where it all comes together: simple advice, creative builds, and a passion for tiny habitats.
