About Us

“Researched in the Wild” complements our philosophy by highlighting Exo Terra’s rigorous research approach. Rather than designing products based on assumptions or generic standards, Exo Terra invests in studying reptiles and amphibians in their natural habitats. We explore these creatures’ conditions, from temperature and humidity to lighting and terrain. This first-hand research forms the basis of our product design, ensuring that every aspect of our terrariums and accessories is grounded in authentic, real-world data. Species-specific needs are identified and catered to, and innovative systems are developed for heating, lighting, and humidity control. This meticulous research in the wild ensures that the artificial environments created are not merely superficial replicas but genuine recreations of natural habitats.
