1mx0.5mx1m terrarium ready to be filled..

[Marco]

Hi all,

This is my first post on these forums after browsing around on it a lot.
Since July 1st I opened a petstore, and I'm also selling reptiles.
Yesterday they bought the green Iguana that was housed in this 1x.5x1 (in meters) terrarium, but it was a second hand terrarium and I don't like it.

I'm going to take everything out (it had like 6 exoterra backgrounds sealed together, well .. together .., they were stuck on the wall, let's put it that way.

Now I was wondering if anyone had some idea's for a stunning show-off terrarium design and what herps I should house in there.

Thanks in advance
-Marco

check out our stickies and click on my favorite link in my signature.

also follow my links through the 3 threads pertaining to mortar based structures... Blue/Pink foam board

you should find plenty of ideas and inspiration therein. also don't forget to look through our gallery.

regardless plant it heavily with plenty of broms, tillandsias, fillers and moss for sure. i would throw in some anubias and ferns also.

i'm thinking you're talking a meter in height... sounds like a good setup for a paludarium. maybe a stinkpot turtle and some smaller fish in the water and a couple herps that won't particularly swim.

google hydrophite while you're at it. you might not want to do the planters and trellis the way he does but his ripariums are a great inspiration.

Are you looking to show case an Animal or to show case the Terrarium?

Any way to post a pic of the Tank as it is now?
