Hello all, here's a thread for us to discuss about our favorite terrarium exhibits at zoos. Hopefully a thread like this hasn't been started before.
 
None really stand out to me at the moment.

But I'm very fond of those for venomous snakes and inverts at Instituto Butantan here in Brazil because of how they highlight the value of these animals for medical research and general interest to the public.
 
Zurich's terrariums have to be some of the best in the game:

Shingleback skink:

Wrocław zoo has an enormous reptile house in a two-story, converted 19. century building. Lots of scarce species, and everything but the usual dark corridor with a line of glass tanks.

No clue I’m afraid, but from what I can see various fish and a turtle species.

Strange, because to my knowledge there's no freshwater fish or aquatic turtles native to the Galapagos, with the turtle looking like a red eared slider and the fish looking like some species of cichlid, which I'm pretty sure do not inhabit the Galapagos.

I don’t remember that specific exhibit and it was labelled as a Galapagos exhibit in the gallery...
I didn’t think there were really any Galapagos species in captivity other than of course reef and pelagic fish around the islands and tortoises.
