I am thinking something more along these lines: Reptile Cages : iguana cage, bearded dragon cage, reptile enclosure, custom wood reptile cages, snake cage, lizard cage

Which leads me to another question. How much are people willing to pay for the interior to already be completed? What if you got to design that too, and we added it for you?

Or, do you prefer a "blank slate" for more of a do-it-yourself?

so they're not all identical clones of each other,i think its a good idea to let the customer come up with their own design for the interior

or have a few strategicly placed perch mounts,fake plant mounts,etc.then you could sell the vivariums without the interior at a cheaper price,letting people pick up and fit their own interiors

i've heard that the hard plastic type vivariums are quite expensive material wise

the special type of plastic required to take the heat and humidity is expensive to make

i think the actual moulding of the vivarium,etc isn't too bad price wise

i wish you the best of luck with your ventures

cheers shaun

Great advice Shaun, thanks! So what I think you're saying is to build plant holders into the interior and let the end user choose what to out in them. Nice!

What about live plants? Wouldn't that be good for air quality in some way, creating new oxygen? I've used those "air plants" that live with no soil and only need to soak once a week. Those are cool too.
