    Default Building a vivarium

    Hello. I am looking to convert my 36L x 18D x 12H terrarium into a vivarium for my 6 fire belly toads.

    However the information I need in the false bottom link is giving me Error 404 messages and I cannot access the information.

    I want to build the elevated back half with egg crates and a front water half.

    What all material and how much do I need for this endeavor, given the size and based on the pictures? Thank you.

    I don't see any pictures. 1 panel of egg crate should suffice if im imagining what you want to do correctly. You can use pvc pipe to elevate the false floor or Just use extra egg crate pieces. A lot of people use screen for the drainage layer but if i built another one i would use filter fabric as i found the water got tainted quickly and never recovered... But i had a water fall feature in mine.
    Don't forget to buy lots of zip ties to fasten the egg crate pieces!
