This video presents to you the entire process of how I made a huge reptile vivarium. This vivarium build was a challenging but very rewarding project. You will see just how the enclosure is constructed, making a rock wall background that also contains hide and nest boxes hidden inside it and much more!
Stay until the end to see a cinematic presentation of the finished product and to see the reptiles in their new home!
I wanted to create a natural vivarium setup that was interesting both for the lizards and me as their caretaker. The reptiles living in this now completed vivarium are a pair of Blue Tree Monitors (Varanus macraei). These were a dream monitor lizard for me to obtain and I wanted to give them the best natural vivarium setup that I could provide. Tree monitors are very much a rain forest reptile and are highly active, needing as much space as you can give them.
If you have any questions about the build feel free to leave a comment below and I will do my best to help you out.

good job its nice and simple but coming from a industrial construction back ground and its mainly just me because I get payed to be picky I would have added more structural support and done few things different but no way any one without my skill set would have been able to recreate it so again great job
