Difference between...

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 all land, paludariums are part water, i never learned the exact definition of vivariums lol

Yeah, I figured Terrariums were completely terrestrial, but wasn't sure. Thanks.

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.
