Vivarium Builds
I can build vivariums of any size that you want, the most common sizes being 12x12x18, 18x18x24, and 18x18x36. These vivariums are customized for the needs of the animal including dart frogs, tree frogs, geckos, chameleons, etc.
Paludarium Builds
A paludarium is a vivarium that also has a water feature included. I can build paludariums of any size that you want, the most common sizes being 12x12x18, 18x18x24, and 18x18x36. These paludariums are customized for the needs of the animal, including tree frogs, geckos, vampire crabs, and shrimp.
Desert Vivarium Builds
I can build a desert vivarium for leapord geckos and other smaller desert animals. I do not build desert vivariums for bearded dragons.
Process
The overall design timeline takes about a month from start to finish. The process is as follows:
- I will consult with you to help you decide the size and style of vivarium that you need.
- An empty terrarium is acquired on Facebook marketplace (you can also provide the terrarium).
- I start building the vivarium by drilling a drainage hole and putting a bulkhead in it.
- A cork background is added.
- Driftwood is used to create a unique design.
- Substrate and plants are added to the tank.
- A misting system and grow lights are installed.
- The vivarium is ready for pickup.
- After a month of being established, your animals can be put into the vivarium!

Tyler did a great job on a tank for my crestie! The communication was top notch and I always knew what to expect when it came to time frame, price, etc. You can tell he really puts care into the tanks he creates. I appreciate how easy he was to work with and how much effort he put into my tank. My crestie loves it and it looks absolutely amazing!!
