Custom Terrarium Builds

Give us an email [email protected] or stop into the store Monday to Friday to discuss your project. 

Custom backgrounds, built in platforms, ripariums, paludariums, arid setups and more. 

How it works

• Pick out your new terrarium from our selection of glass, PVC or composite. Or bring your own (we do not build the physical enclosure). 
• Consultation to plan and discuss your goals and ideas. 
• No inspiration? We can offer suggestions best for the inhabitant of your setup. 
• Choice of background only or have substrate, leaf litter, woods, stones and plants added for a complete build.

We can discuss everything beforehand and make sure we are creating the best possible environment for your animal and ensure you are getting the most enjoyment out of your pet.

Check out a few of the custom builds below

A 4x2x4 foot PVC terrarium ordered for a customer's Emerald Tree Boa. The build includes a cork bark and moss wall, live plants, various of branches, Arcadia LumenIZE UVB and LED lamps, small basking lamp, reptirad on thermostat and a Mistking system.

This enclosure was shipped in a pallet crate to Ontario. With the customer having to pick it up and move it upstairs into his home, we left the soil and plants separate so it would be easily carried. Almost everything was secured with transportation in mind to reduce the risk of anything coming loose on its trip across the country.

Planted Philodendron brasil in the cork planter then built up the wall behind it with more cork and moss.
