Finally pulled the trigger on building custom vivariums for people. They won't be mass produced, as it's only me building them.

All questions and comments welcomed... but I'm waiting on some paperwork, so i do not have any pricing yet.

I will update with better pictures by the end of the week.

Thanks!
Funny you say that, started building these vivs, and now the blue jeans decided to get it on, 3 tads and two more clutches. So now their new home will have to wait until they decide to shut down...

Great job Casper . You are by far my favorite viv builder now. Quality stuff.
The BJs can be tricky, up and down. As soon as they are down, move 'em.
Darts with parasites are analogous to mixed tanks, there are no known benefits to the frogs with either.

All glass. No shipping at the moment.

Haven't thought about kits, would solve some of the shipping problems but would create the problem of the customers having to build it correctly so everything fits. Everything would still have to be fully mocked up to make sure all the trim fits, all 30 pieces. That would be extremely hard to do with just tape.

Thank you!
Not sure on the time yet, these are the 1st built so i had a lot of trial and error and building of tools and jigs to assist in the edging and door supports. But now those things are done they will start to go together faster.

I see my frog room having some ghost vivs in them in the future.

Yip, he is doing it, but at his pace so it could take a lot longer than I'm willing to wait.

Passed up on one to many frogs waiting for him to build them, so i decided to build them myself.

When you get prices worked out and if you decide to ship I would be interested.

Maybe a couple different sizes that would fill a rack would be perfect for me.
