Hexagon Vivarium Journal/ Advice?

:-) Yours is going to look amazing. Taking you time and planning it out is the tough part.

Thanks! I noticed that is the hard part...I will post pictures in about 5 minutes, camera battery is low. I am mixing up the eco earth to re plant some plants that I bought today. Two Dracaena's...One small one in a 3.5" pot, and one in a 5" pot. the 3.5" one is about 4 inches tall, and the 5" one is about 10" tall. I also bought a 10" tall Bromelaid in a 5"...no clue what species, maybe someone could help me out on that? and a Dieffenbachia...this is in a 3.5" pot. Once again, will be posting pics in about five minutes. Thanks for the comments!

Nice work Badger. Its looking good all ready. You could save money and do a plastic egg crate with PVC pipe,or even the caps for PVC.Then the money you save could go somewhere else. I like the egg crate method.

Pictures!! Whatcha guys think? Next hardest part is the eggcrate...home depot trip tomorrow I hope...

Shoutout to Don: Thanks for the advice on plants!

[Badger]

Thanks! Anyone know any good breeders of White's? I don't wanna buy from my local petco considering how stressed and (I think) sick. My price cap is $50 shipped (Hopefully blue phase, but any will do)

Got another can of Great Stuff, but sadly home depot's last sheet of egg crate was smashed to pieces. great. I'll grab some when the next shipment comes in, or when I can get to the other home depot.

alright, I got a sheet of egg crate today, now all I need it window screen and I can finish the tank.

WOOHOOO my mom just agreed to go with me to the Massachusetts Reptile EXPO in Rockland MA. a week from sunday...my search for my frogs is nearing end...I hope.

Anyone else going? maybe we can meet up?

Just siliconed in the PVC supports for the egg-crate. I'll be cutting the egg crate tomorrow (Forgot to grab my diagonals). Pics:




Quesitons/Comments/ Suggestions??

[vixxy]

I am starting a hex viv this week myself so I'm curious to see how yours turns out. I have a suggestion for "budget plant"...if u have a Lowe's, (H.D.) might do it too, check if they have a discount plant rack. I get almost all my plants from this rack and they are usually pretty cheap. Also, ask at the pet stores and hardware stores about discontinued, broken bag and clearance items. I got very cheap cork bark at my local pet shop because they it was discontinued....just some thoughts to help the budget

[Badger]

Alright, I'll keep it in mind, thanks for the advice!

Ugh, I'm siliconing the background now...well atleast the pvc cave side....good god this sucks. The damn caulking gun is so hard to pull lol.anyways, that side is mainly done, waiting for it to dry enough to start another side. Worst. Part. of. the. viv....ever.
