Craftsmanship & material - please note...

Each BioDome is meticulously handcrafted in the Netherlands from laser-cut acrylic. Due to this artisanal production and bonding process, subtle stress structures, also known as crazing, may be visible in the bonded edges.

These fine line structures are a natural characteristic of high-quality acrylic that is precisely bonded and are an inherent part of the manufacturing process. They do not affect the strength, durability, or functionality of the terrarium.

As with other handmade products, this contributes to the unique character of each BioDome.
