Doing a new vivarium

[ricky]

...finally I got the heat cable, so I could proceed with the creating of my new vivarium..




Attaching the heat cable to the background.
Meanwhile, I dry to two pieces of wood I will use in the oven (at 80 degree C)




...and making an access to the drainage layer; PVC pipe and a filter from a aquarium filter pump.





First LECA layer in place.





Main layer soil; Spagnum soil mixed with coconut moss.
Notice the PVC pipe to the right. The stone in the front will work as a cover for the pipe.




..the probe for temperature and humidity is hidden behind the "tree"








..and done with the new vivarium.

I wanted to mimic a tropical forest floor since its where my type of frog lives in the wild.
It loves do dick, so it has a thick layer of the soil

Was quite fun to make!

Thanks
