Where should a terrarium be placed?

The location of a terrarium varies depending on the species. Regardless of which animal lives inside, the terrarium should be in a quiet place. Not next to a television or stereo system. The room in which the terrarium is placed should avoid direct sunlight, as this is not ideal for the animal. But it should be a light/semi-dark room. It must be a well-ventilated room, but make sure that there is no draught, otherwise the animal may become ill. It must not be a damp room as this will damage the equipment and, in the worst case, the equipment will break. (The terrarium should not be placed on the floor)
