Some might consider this a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway...
What's the difference between Terrariums, Paludariums and Vivariums?
Thanks,
James

Terrariums are are mainly land, other than small water features such as water dishes and pools.
Paludariums is part-land and part-water, used for amphibious creatures.
Vivariums technically should be any enclosure that contains life - so terrariums, paludariums and aquariums are all different types of vivariums. Some people though use the term vivarium interchangeably with terrarium.
