A vivarium (Latin, literally for "place of life"; plural: vivaria or vivariums) is an area, usually enclosed, for keeping and raising animals or plants for observation or research. Often, a portion of the ecosystem for a particular species is simulated on a smaller scale, with controls for environmental conditions.
What animals can live together in a terrarium?
- Green iguanas and frilled lizards (one male per species)
- Radiated tortoises and subspecies of box turtles (very large enclosure)
- Various subspecies of tree frogs.
- Subspecies of day geckos (but only one male specimen)
- Fire-bellied toads and fire-bellied newts.

How much does it cost to make a vivarium?
To be clear, vivarium development costs comprise some of the most expensive square footage in life science real estate, many times reaching $500–$800 per square foot to build.
What wood is used for vivariums?
Manzanita. An extremely light, dense, highly detailed wood that's both easy to work with, and fairly inexpensive. Manzanita is extremely dense, and holds up great in most vivarium conditions. Because of it's light weight, this is a very easy wood to mount to a background, as there's less weight to pull it down.
What can I use for bioactive substrate?
Ideally, you'll want something with a combination of smaller soil, clay, or sand particles and larger mulch particles to keep the soil from falling through into the drainage layer.
How much substrate do I need for bioactive vivarium?
Recommendation based on 5qt bags of False Bottom, and a 2" layer. Bags of ABG Mix Needed: Recommendation based on 4qt bags of ABG Mix, and a 2" layer.
