HeatStrip II - Windscreen Heater

JBL TerraTemp heating mat for terrariums Ideal heat radiation for animals and plants: Self-adhesive infrared heating mat for terrariums Easy to attach: Self-adhesive to floor, side or ceiling, incl. panelling film for attachment in visible areas Particularly resistant: Extra strong PET film Optimum safety: 2 layers of insulation, electrical connection moulded with special resin, overheating protection Scope of delivery: Heating mat, TerraTemp heatmat, incl. panelling foil Nature as a modelTerrarium animals are warm-blooded animals that are heavily dependent on light, especially on the quality and intensity of light and heat. Activity, food intake, digestion or resting phases are influenced by the alternation of day and night.Ideal heat distributionThe TerraTemp heatmat from JBL provides ideal heat distribution for animals and plants in terrariums. The self-adhesive film can be attached to the floor, side walls or ceiling. The panelling film is used for attaching to visible areas. The extra strong PET film makes the mat particularly resistant. The 2 layers of insulation with overheating protection offer optimum safety.

HeatStrip II from SolarRaptorWith the HeatStrip from SolarRaptor, a warm breeze blows through your terrarium - putting an end to misted-up windows.Easy installation due to self-adhesive backingAir warmer/window heaterNo more misted up windowsPrevents cold draughtsThe problem of draughts in terrariums is often underestimated: especially with large ventilation areas, it can quickly become too draughty for the animals because colder air is constantly flowing in. Then they only stay directly under the heaters and are thus restricted in their natural behaviour. In the worst cases, this can even lead to respiratory diseases.The SolarRaptor HeatStrip II is a unique heating system. Terrarium owners usually mount the self-adhesive rod directly on the front air inlet of their terrarium. This heats the incoming air and increases the air temperature in the entire terrarium. In addition, the so-called "chimney effect" ensures an overall improved air exchange.The Heatstrip thus ensures a constant supply of fresh and warm air and improves the climate for both the animals and the plants in the terrarium.For owners of a rainforest terrarium, the HeatStrip has another advantage: Rainforest terrariums have high humidity, which is usually produced with the help of sprinkler systems or ultrasonic foggers, so the windows often mist up. This is not only unpleasant for the animals, but also a nuisance for the reptile or amphibian keeper. As the heat source of the HeatStrip is located directly on the front pane, condensation of humidity on the pane is effectively counteracted. This means no misted-up windows and thus always a clear view of the animals.Please note: A DRV power supply unit is required for operation - please order separately.Variants:450mm / 8 Watt750mm / 12 Watt950mm / 16 Watt

Fairy shrimps (spring gillfoot) Fairy shrimps (spring gillfoot) are very common. Fairy shrimps are gilled crustaceans that have been found on our planet since prehistoric times in salt lakes, drying waters or polar waters.Only animals from Asia or America that live in a water temperature of 20-30°C are suitable for keeping in an aquarium. These species (Branchinella thailandensis and Dendrocephalus brasiliensis) live in waters that regularly dry out and are only filled with rainwater. The water is therefore very soft. Appearance The animals have 11 pairs of leaf feet. These leaf-shaped limbs serve not only for locomotion but also for breathing – which has led to the term "gilled-foot crustacean". There are sometimes minor differences in colour. They are found in colours ranging from orange to reddish-brown and may have greenish to bluish hues at the joints and at the boundaries of the segments.Both sexes have two short thread-like antennae. However, another pair of antennae differ in both shape and according to sex. Males have lobe-shaped appendages that can be curled up. Adult females are mainly distinguished by the ventrally located brood sacs, which are filled with eggs, and the ends of the female's tail are translucently light. Systematics Phylum: Arthropoda / ArthropodsSubphylum: Crustacea / CrustaceansClass: Anostraca – Gill-feetFamily: BranchipodidaeGenus: Branchipus / Eubranchipus /Tanymastix etc. Care Depending on the species, fairy shrimps live for 6-12 weeks and the size of adult animals varies from 1-3cm.Can Triops and fairy shrimps be kept together?yes, they can Aquarium size: Initially, a Faunarium box size 230 x 155 x 170 mm is quite sufficient From a body length of 1.5cm, they can be gradually accustomed to larger tanks Basic lighting: Sunlight or aquarium lighting is sufficientAeration: An air pump with a stone and very little air flow is sufficient for keepingSetup:Only water and breeding substrate in the breeding/starting container. A little fine aquarium sand can be used as substrate (but this is not absolutely necessary)Decorations can be used, but are only for our eyes and not of importance to the fairy shrimps.Fairy shrimps are free-swimmers – so they need enough free swimming space in the breeding container.If the animals swim around freely, you can also add a little aquarium moss to the water. To ensure the water is soft, it is best to use 2/3 distilled water and 1/3 mineral water (non-carbonated).Water temperature: Fluctuations in temperature of +/- 5° C are not dramatic.The ideal breeding temperature is 26°.Start:The larvae only hatch when they are completely surrounded by water. Therefore, place the eggs on adhesive tape and then put this in the water – so the eggs are not washed to the edge and always remain in contact with water.After 1-3 days the larvae hatch. The larvae grow quickly and can reach sexual maturity after up to 40 moults in one to two weeks. The males hold the females with their jaw pincers shortly before and also during mating. After mating, the eggs develop in the egg sacs on the females’ abdomens. They fall to the bottom of the water and can survive for several years of prolonged drought in the substrate.When the fairy shrimps have died, the water can be drained off and the substrate with the eggs left completely dry. The larvae can only hatch again if the eggs were completely dry.Once this is dried out, a new batch can be started.If no substrate is used, you can also siphon off the eggs with a thin hose. Let the water containing the eggs run through a fine net or a coffee filter – this way you can collect the eggs.Important: The animals do not tolerate large water changes. If fairy shrimps are to be moved to a larger home, it is best to place the animals together with the breeding water into the new home or tank and slowly fill up the container with conditioned tap water. Feeding The larvae are fed from the 3rd day after hatching.The larvae can be fed with algae powder or JBL Artemio fluid. For all animal husbandry: Children must be guided, supervised and monitored by their parents. Children must learn that an animal has its own needs and habits and they must respect this. Parents should be aware that they are responsible for the animal. For questions and problems our trained team at Zoo Roco is at your disposal. They can advise you professionally on all matters.
