Initiating the process of building my first vivarium

[Hongstein]

Hey everyone,

I'm beginning the journey of researching the materials I'll need in order to begin creating my first vivarium. My fiancee and I have a large Wardian Case and I think I'd like to create a environment that incorporates water, plant-life, landscaping, and possibly a few living creatures.

I'd like to create something really classy. Are there any resources that you've found exceptionally useful that would serve a handy, resourceful beginner who's interested in taking the plunge?

Many thanks in advance.

howdy and welcome.

blackjungle.com has a number of guides, including step-by-step picture slideshows and books for sale. Personally, I got started with the 'Living Vivarium' column in Reptiles, but that was nearly ten years ago and may be hard to track down, but worth it if you can
