Yes, typically we bring smaller established vivariums to reptile expos that come complete with custom glass lids, custom background, fully planted and seeded with microfauna.
VIVARIUM CONSTRUCTION QUESTIONS:
I would like a vivarium built, how do I proceed?
Please email us with what you have in mind in order to get started or set up an appointment to visit our showroom and we can discuss it in person. We will need to know some basic information such as size, species being kept, planted or not planted, water feature or not, glass lid, etc.
Is a deposit required?
Yes, a deposit of 50% is required in order to start any build.
I already have a glass terrarium, can you use that for the build?
Yes, many of our customers provide the actual glass terrarium for us to make the build. Great deals can be found on many of the popular brands of glass terrariums at reptile expos.
How long does the build take?
Each build is different, however, as a general rule a build takes approx. 4-6 weeks. Longer if you would like us to make sure the plants are off to a good start which we highly recommend.
How much will my vivarium cost?
Each vivarium is unique and as such, it is difficult to quote without knowing details of what you want. Please email to discuss a custom build so we can provide a quote.
Do you make water features?
Yes, water features are our specialty. As you may already know, water features can be extremely tricky to construct correctly. Built incorrectly, and you will have nothing but problems with water where you don’t want it! We don’t recommend water features in smaller vivariums as it takes to much space away from the build. We highly recommend that vivariums with water features be drilled and that sumps are utilized.
Do you drill tanks and/or glass lids?
Yes, on any builds we construct we offer drilled drains, drilled for water features, and glass lids drilled for MistKing nozzles. Please note we don’t offer drilling as a service except on builds we are constructing.
What brands do you use for the builds you offer?
We work with Zoo Med, Exo-Terra, Tetra and other brands available on the market plus custom built Sherman Tanks.
Do you offer maintenance?
Absolutely, we offer regular maintenance on any build we make, whether that be in a private residence or place of business. Please email us for more information.
Do you work with schools, institutions, hospitals, offices, zoos and other places of business?
Yes, please email us for more information or with any questions.
