Smile My vivarium

Here is the beginning of my first vivarium. I am fairly new to the hobby and tried my best not to rush things and to build it right. Since these pictures, the tank has had some time to mature, I will have more pictures coming.

looks good. I would try to mount the bromeliads though. they could rot easily in the substrate.

and Welcome to the forum

Very nice Viv. It makes me want to hurry and get mine done. I have been away for some time and haven't gotten anything done. My wife and I had to move for the 3rd time this year. However your Viv has inspired me to finish what I have started. It's been too long! Keep up the great work!

looks very well made.
Is that just a garden-variety sago palm? I've wanted to include one or a similar tree fern, because they just look so ancient and wild. but they generally reach huge sizes... I'd be interested to see if you can keep it trimmed to a small size while still looking good and healthy, keep us updated as your viv grows in.

Default palm

Thank you, it's a bonsai variety. Since I planted it about 5 months ago, I've noticed the roots take off but the leaves have not grown too much which is nice. The animals love basking on it.
