    Default My First Planted Viv

    After the BCRC show the other week, I haven't been able to stop thinking about this cute gecko who spent all of Sunday on my shoulder. I thought I'd give a planted vivarium a shot in the event that I do get him

    I know, it's not a fw, sw, brackish aquarium.... but it's still sort of an aquarium....

    Terrarium is an 18" x 18" x 24" ZooMed


    1" or so of Hydroton for drainage


    Covered with landscaping type cloth


    Substrate is a mix of coco coir, organic potting soil and sphagnum moss


    Coco fibre mat is held to the back by arbutus branches & thread




    Giant arbutus branch is too.... giant... takes up more space than I want


    22g empty tank + 1 Dumeril's boa's + 1 Brazilian Red Tail Boa+ 1 Ball Python + 3 gecko's + 1 dog + 1 bunny

    Now that looks like a perfect habitat. Seems small but I don't know anything about reptiles!

    Awesome pictures!
