I found away to remove the black spray form for Vivariums. I removed it from my hands and nails by using peppermint essential oil and a piece toilet paper. I’m a big fan of your work and I have two Vivarium in the making right now. 1 is 18x17x27. 2 is 36x18x36. I’m so blessed and happy about your work. Thanks for documenting your skills and sharing with us.

Instead of just carving - to get rid of the smooth surface - you can use rough sandpaper too. It's a bit messy but I personally find it easier to create more natural shapes. Cheers.

She is in a basic cage for now 2 hides a warm and a cooler side, aspen the basics but I’ve been looking forward to decorating a home for her that she will actually enjoy.

How long will a vivarium like that last before the background begins to collapse or slide down as I assume it won't last forever. Is yours still working well? Also do you thing applying silicone to the glass and letting it dry before the foam would help make last longer?

@steffanaarts-greven1352
@steffanaarts-greven1352 5 жыл бұрын
Filomena Clarizio you don’t clean this type of enclosure. They are bio active and small invertebrates in the soil break down waste. Mosses and fungi grow but regulate themselves if the temperature, lighting and humidity are balanced. All you have to do is clean the glass, drain the water from the false bottom if needed (not needed in the way he set it up) and prune the plants.
@steffanaarts-greven1352
@steffanaarts-greven1352 4 жыл бұрын
@Aodán Compton you dont clean the substrate in a bio active setup. It can be left one for years. The microfauna, fungi and bacteria do that cleaning for you. All you have to do is to keep it looking nice but leave enough litter for the system to work. To drain the water you leave a small, concealed, hole in the false bottom to feed a small hose through (mostly done by a small pipe that pokes out just above the substrate with a small cap on it). You can then easily siphon off the water if needed. Some amount in there is needed to keep the humidity up so only siphon off to prevent flooding.
@steffanaarts-greven1352

@Aodán Compton this is not my viv so I dont know which values for temp and humidity it runs at. But is running just a few degrees above room temperature with a moderate humidity it shouldnt be a problem. A typical humidty of a tropical vivarium (above 80%) is too high though.

Reptiliatus I would pay to have this made and shipped to Cali!!! I want a crested gecko and this is by far the best vivarium I've come across on KZfaq.

Lisa Rodriguez thanks for the sweet words! I would have loved to build you one but I think shipping would be killer :(. Use the tutorial to make one yourself! :)

How does this fair up to cleaning and the urine smell from snakes ?
@Reptiliatus
@Reptiliatus 6 жыл бұрын
Depends how big the snake is. If its a small snake in a large enclosure, I'd say easier. It's just really important to remove urates and feces right away whenever possible :)!
@marclapointe368
@marclapointe368 6 жыл бұрын
If the enclosure is big and has a good 2 to 4 inches of soil and plants , no need to clean. The bacterias and other microfauna that live in the soil will process the excrements. Unless you have a python or some other big beast that should stay in the wild anyway.
