YouTube find | ☠️ Dangerous products for your reptiles ❌

Today, I've found something interesting on the internet for you! If you have a terrarium, you need to be careful. There are some common mistakes that can be very dangerous for your reptiles. 🦎 Here are five traps you should avoid to keep your animals safe. From toxic glues to unsafe protective cages and wrong heating methods – with these simple tips, you can protect your pets and make sure they stay healthy. 😊

Here's an interesting find from the internet that will be particularly valuable for all of you terrarium keepers out there. 🦎 It covers five dangerous traps in terrariums that are often underestimated – but which you should definitely avoid to keep your animals safe.

Here are the key points from the ReptilTV video:

  1. Avoid adhesives with solvents: Products like epoxy resin can release harmful fumes that can poison your animals. 🐉 What's particularly dangerous is that these fumes can linger for days or even weeks. It's better to use non-toxic alternatives like Terrafix. 🧪
  2. Secure protective cages properly: Protective cages around lamps are essential to prevent your animals from getting burned. 🚨 But beware: it often happens that animals manage to squeeze through a small gap and can't find their way out – a real nightmare! Always make sure everything is securely closed. 🦎
  3. Don't use tape in the terrarium: Yes, I have to admit, I made this mistake as a beginner too! 🙈 It seems like a quick fix, but tape can loosen and stick to animals like snakes. This can be really dangerous! 🐍 Use safer alternatives like clamps or non-toxic adhesives instead. ❌🧻
  4. Be cautious with floor heaters: Heating stones or mats are risky because they can cause severe burns when animals rest on them, trapping the heat. 🪨 It's much better to heat your terrarium from above or the side. 🔥
  5. Check cricket containers for air holes: This one was new to me too! 🦗 Some transport boxes for crickets and other feeder insects sometimes lack air holes. If you transport an animal in one of these and there's no ventilation, it can quickly become life-threatening. 🛑 Always check before use!
