My Gargoyle Gecko's Vivarium

Kaianuanu · 07-08-11, 10:17 AM

I thought i'd share my vivarium that i completely built myself out of mostly spare glass panels from broken 10 gallon tanks and a few custom cut sheets. It has a 20" x 12" footprint and it is 20" tall. The substrate is organic potting soil and it is planted with schefflera arboricola or dwarf umbrella plant stalks. I am thinking about planting a bit of a smaller leaf variety of pothos to climb the branches. I am also considering building a duplicate of this enclosure for an eyelash viper or a similar arboreal snake. But i know i need to build experience before i get my own hot though. the top video is its current state while below is a vid from when it was still in the works.

dubstep is an acquired taste, I hated it when i first heard it.

looks pretty good mate, I think you need to invest in a sidekick to hold the camera for you tho.

Sweet setup and cute garg. I like the hook on the side for the spray bottle. Not sure what you're using in the enclosure for a food dish, but I found some tealight holders from IKEA that are the perfect size.

Thanks for sharing.

I hand feed as well. I don't think my garg eats much from his dish, but I like to leave some in his enclosure just in case.
