What is you dream vivarium?

[elly]

Nice, Strider18. I'd like to build a small heated greenhouse myself though that's definitely in dreaming territory. I'd like the setup to be like a miniature version of the butterfly garden in the New Orleans Insectarium: two sealed doors leading in to prevent drafts and to keep animals from escaping.

yes dream big, for though we may never be able to build such wonderful vivariums We must always have our dreams and passions.

(Lack of resources have postponed it but it will happen. In the meantime I'm remodeling and doing some smaller vivs while I explore my special fx ideas.)

Oh and I'd also like to put a pond liner and drain in a room and make a rainforest in my house. That is postponed indefinitely though

I'd also like something walk in, so I can sit in summer and enjoy some frog watching when it's winter outside.

One of the houses we lived in when I was growing up was an otherwise modest bungalow with an abnormal addition- an 800 square foot solarium. It had a hot tub (easy conversion to a frog pond) and enough room that you could grow tropical plants closer to their native sizes (pothos leaves the size of my arm? yes please!). A 'tank' this size and I'd be comfy joining the species mixing crowd, north american treefrogs for me. Alas, at the time I was not so frog obsessed nor in charge to make proper use of the space.

I think it would be cool to have a solarium/frog room with double doors and lots of plants and different types of frogs well heated in winter cooled to just the right temp in summer. I would most likely have tree frogs and types of dart that would not interbreed. Lots of the right foods and vitamins and a nice place for me to sit and watch and take pictures. Tadpoles would be raised in the solarium as if they were in the wild. There would be waterfalls and nice places to perch and lots of places to hide. A mini rainforest of life to enjoy. I will probably have to stick with separate Vivariums in a basement room unless I win the lottery.

okay if its my DREAM vivarium it doesn't have to be realistic kay so I would want a 200 gallon aquarium with a large waterfall in the middle separating the water and land!

WATER SIDE
there would be a corner with unlimited brine shrimp yum!
steping stones to get out of the water and Rainbow gravel with lots of beautiful PUNCHI plastic and silk plants!
the gravel would be mixed with wardly beta food to look like dirt (more naturel) and yummy!
there would be a big pot coming out half In the water half out for a nice hiding spot! the pot would have lots of tall plants surrounding it making It very beautiful!
There would be some basking docks for him to get out on just in case he got tired each basking dock would be large!
LAND SIDE
The land side would have lots of sticks all around for him to climb on and there would be crickets running around!
there would be lots of leaves for him to explore and venture!
The substrate would be dirt and pebbles!!

THATS MY DREAM VIVERIUM
PS THAT WOULD BE FOR THE LEPORD FROG IM GETTING SOON

Thanks to this thread I now have a half built mega huge frog breeding center in my head. Kind of like a Sugar Plum in a Christmas Eve dream only it is monstrously huge and kind of threatening to eat me.
