So cute love the enclosure just make sure there is constant air flow

Looking nice, what basking/lamp do you use.

Looks great! Acrylic is the way to go aesthetically imo

Are those orchids on the far left?

 

[xcrystalx]

it has plenty of air flow.the new vivexotic vivariums have new front bottom and top air vents.take a look here http://www.reptilecentre.com/blog/2...iva-vivarium-ventilation-work-is-it-any-good/

there are 3 vents on the back and the roof is meshed so plenty.
i have an arcadia 12% d3+ t5 uv light in a canopy
the basking dome is a dome made by swell reptiles.

there fake orchids on a stem.just for a dash of colourx

[xcrystalx]

[Salix]

What kind of wood is the frame? I was thinking about doing something up like that with an old china cabnit but I don't know how well it would stand up the the misters

 

[xcrystalx]

im not sure.i didnt make it.its a viva vivexotic arboreal vivarium.the surface is shiny and the water just runs off.many people i know have them and have had no problems.you could always varnish it

Looks cool wish mine was as functional mine has zippers on the sides and can be diffi

I will invest in a new one eventually

It looks great i an also getting the same viv but slightly narrower did it come with the rock wall or did you add it in yourself also did you take the wood top off and put the mesh on or does that size come with a full mesh top
Thanks mike

hi there thanks

the 3d wall was added myself but it did come with the viv but it was brought separately.its from the exo terra range.i wasnt sure if i should use it but now im glad i did.

we cut a hole in the roof about 3inches from the edge then put mesh on ourselves..i used metal style mesh as its more sturdy for the lights as the canopy i have is a tad heavy.

heres a few pics of the roof for you x

Thanks that was exactly what i was planning to do with the top
Someone has already ask about how you put your bamboo sticks up so that's that taken care of
What canopy and uv are you using and are you using a dimmerstat
