Vivarium build **lots of pics** sorry!

[bsol]

Sorry for the delay guys!!!

Hey, Can I ask some questions about your viv?

How much more maintenance is it?
What kind of lighting do you have? I'm assuming grow lamps for the plants?
How are the plants doing?


I have a 55g I'd like to do something similar with and then add a friend or two for Simone.

I used Plant grow lamps. The plants pretty much went nuts and grew like crazy. At first maintenance ok, but then it got tough with the plant growth. Any terrarium builder will tell these enclosures thrive on neglect, but when you introduce a snake(or any other animal) making it a vivarium, you break stems, leaves and disrupt things when you clean.
Another issue was a foreign visitor. A small fly nested in my soil and produced a bunch of flies and that was the end of that.

I was getting ready to do the same thing for my Green Tree Python, where did you get that tank divider?

I used lexan plexi glass that I cut with my band saw and aquarium sealant.
