How I made a Huge Reptile Vivarium - Full Build!
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
This video presents to you the entire process of how I made a huge reptile vivarium. This vivarium build was a challenging but very rewarding project. You will see just how the enclosure is constructed, making a rock wall background that also contains hide and nest boxes hidden inside it and much more!
Stay until the end to see a cinematic presentation of the finished product and to see the reptiles in their new home!
I wanted to create a natural vivarium setup that was interesting both for the lizards and me as their caretaker. The reptiles living in this now completed vivarium are a pair of Blue Tree Monitors (Varanus macraei). These were a dream monitor lizard for me to obtain and I wanted to give them the best natural vivarium setup that I could provide. Tree monitors are very much a rain forest reptile and are highly active, needing as much space as you can give them.
If you have any questions about the build feel free to leave a comment below and I will do my best to help you out.

good job its nice and simple but coming from a industrial construction back ground and its mainly just me because I get payed to be picky I would have added more structural support and done few things different but no way any one without my skill set would have been able to recreate it so again great job

The cuphead kind
This was just phenomenal, One day I will make a bioactive vivarium that is just as stylish as this, but probably on a smaller scale.
Let no one say that you aren't as much an artist as a craftsperson, even if the carvings have a utility function, the skill, not to mention the time and effort, shows your artistic skill and style
The amount of thought that went into all the little details is top notch. Beautiful animals as well
What an epic build! Your love for your animals and the hobby shows in your work. Truly inspirational. Greetings from a fellow hobbyist from South Africa

He made a few unexpected cameos and it felt right to include them. It was a lot of fun checking the footage/editing it haha. Appreciate the feedback!
I’m not going to lie. When I saw you gluing styrofoam together in that beautiful box I thought “WHAT THE HELL”. At the end of the video, I simply thought that this was a magnificent handcrafted vivarium. Very well done! Definitely subscribing!

This is incredible,the cage even has wheels!
Wow this look even better than a zoo enclosure well done
Brilliant video, looks incredible. I'd love to see a video on how it's doing now, two years later.
I remember this has been one of the main videos that I really poured over when I was trying to understand foam and Drylok at the very beginning. Really helpful for my giant build! I’m working on my own series of videos of making of stuff now, and owe a lot to you! Thank you so much! Randy
This build is super therapeutic !
14:19 I'd put a nice foam pillow in there with a cotton pillow case that has the end tied off. My mangrove monitor knows better than to defecate where it sleeps. I watched this video many times, love the ambiance.
wow! Unbelievable results. Beautiful!
This blew my mind. Would love to see a video on how you make your diy vines. They look solid!

Hey bud thank you! You've got an interesting collection and channel, look forward to seeing your adult enclosure build for Sabzi when the time comes!
I worked in an upholstery shop for many years and a angle grinder with a flapper wheel make short work of foam shaping. It does require some vacuuming but it works great.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Bet your monitors love it.
Fantastic job fella....your reptiles couldn't have wished for a better home Your a man after my own heart
Wow so intricate. Your lizards have now a cool home! 😊
Very nice build! I really like the nest and hide boxes... gonna use that for my next project! The Monitors are stunning and fit in there perfectly.
This is nothing short of art. You've got some lucky reptiles. Also thanks for pointing me to that drylok stuff. I make terrain for my D&D campaign with xps foam, so that's really gonna bring it up a notch!
Looks amazing man love it

Awesome work, bro. Great choice leaving in the mistakes you made. And that slow mo foam cutting - like a John Woo sword fight👌
Excellent video and terrific build, thanks for sharing all your hard work!
Absolutely breathtaking… 😍
Bro this is the greatest build I've ever seen Well Done!
the plastic bins in the nest/hides is such a smart smart idea, props!!! wish i thought of that!
This is beautiful!
you are absolutely genius....
Love what you did, i did this a few years back with a lot of my enclosures, i used black as underground and dry painted it with grey, so you get more nuance and shadow!
Solid work.
Dude! That is freaking amazing!!!!

Incredible build! Found it very inspiring, thank you!
Awesome!!!!! 🙌🏾💪🏽
Looks so sick
Truly inspirational! Those blue tree monitors are even more gorgeous than I had imagined seeing them here for the first time. Hopefully they breed for you and produce many eggs and offspring for years to come. Maybe I can buy one someday, lol? Not likely but I can dream.
Thank you so much for this it inspired me so much. Currently made mine for my boa just finishing the interiors ❤️ so thank you!!!
Awesome Love it!!!💪🏻
