I'm going to build the vivarium to end all vivariums. I've been a carpenter/builder all my life, I use to keep all kinds of cool exotics when I was younger from albino horned frogs to sugargliders and snakes of all kinds. I build high end heated dog kennels for breeders, and I used to build custom reptile enclosures and vivariums, but I always wanted to build a super vivarium. My plans are 7ft high, 8ft wide, and 2.5 feet deep. The base of the unit will be 2.5 ft high making the vivarium itself about 4.5"H X 8"W X 2.5"D. The base will be seperate for easy moving and the entire unit raised panel oak with large crown moulding and baseboard, the two panels in the base will push open with magnet push clips to reveal storage and the pump/filter system. The bottom 14-16 inches of the vivarium will be water and filled with fish/frogs/turtles/etc... all visable through the full glass front. Large 3 section waterfall tumbleing down the right side making pools along the way. My idea is to make all the land myself using faux rock. This way I can cover the right 1/3 of the vivarium and the back with land but it could be suspended and the water and animals can still go under the land and all can be viewed from the outside.

The land would be filled with faux mountains/caves/plants/really nice branches. Access to the unit is from the side and back, ventilation and lighting in the top. I'd stock the unit with geckos, tree boas and pythons, dart frogs, tree frogs etc... Like your looking into the rainforest.

I haven't been able to find a company that builds and ships such elaborate custom units. Such a unit would cost thousands, it would be for the top dollar collector. Anyone interested? Units would be built custom to your specs, I would only be interested in building large highquality custom units, I can send accurate drawings and quotes based on your ideas, or just ask for some pictures of my work.

If your going to have a viv buisness, DON'T build the viv to end all vivs, its bad for buisness..

To bad tree boas and tree pythons dont co exist and in the wild. Boas are more or less a western reptile and pythons a eastern.....I would be afraid that the snakes would try to eat the frogs....like in the rainforest......
