Perfect natural design...
Whats your perfect design for a naturalistic designed vivarium? This is the "DREAM VIVARIUM" for any type of herp. I thought this would be a cool idea to have as a thread because we dont often get to have an imaginary unlimited amount of money/time/patience!
Make it happen!

Yup, Marisa was doing it with her old Iguana cage. I might do it down the road for gargoyles or if I can ever afford some Leachies

Perfect desing for a vivarium would be anytype thats as close to maintenance free as you can get. I love the oneswith aquatic bottoms.
Also I feel it's also very important for the fauna of the vivaruim to be of the same location. So it mimicts nature perfectly.
I cannot remeber his name but a Dutch Vivarium maker set up a vivaruim to go through the regular cycles of the rising and setting sun. Each light is set to a dimmer which makes it slowlyreach its full briteness. The first light turns on in the morning followed by four to six other lights that start turning on about 1ominutes from eachother. And then slowly start tuning off around 2 hours befor sunset.
I know someone told me earlier that there is no way you can mimic exactly what comes out of nature, this might be so but we can come pretty darn close. The only thing missing or what should be missing in our vivariums is all the little unwanted buggs, and viruses.
Hopefully by the end of the summer I will be pumping out a vivarium a week. Am currently working on a display vivarium to go up in a local shop, so hopefully there will be some good business out of there.
I will be making vivaruims of all price ranges, and styles.
Openfront dutch vivaruims to dessert vivariums.
Fell free to pm me for more details.
One thing I have not been able to figure out is the best way to ship a vivaruim. any info would be greatly appreciated

If you can make a really good looking display vivarium that can be flat packed that would be one of the best inventions!
I'd love to convert one of my rooms to a desert type enclosure so that when people walk into it they fell like they are in a completely different world, It would be like 20'x30'x10' now that would be cool.

My dream viv would be like a 100 gallon or somthing along those lines with a pretty big water section that is deep and with a cork bark background. A cascading water fall with a stream going into the water section. It would have tons of moss and bromeliads and ferns and some palms. Pretty much any kinda plant that looks cool. The water section would have plants in it of course and fish. Some tetras and maybe a betta fish. it would have a fogger thats on a timer and a misting system. It would house darts or mantellas maybe some geckos.
Thats it righ now I guess its always changing in my mind when ever I get a new idea.
