most people on here like water in their tanks!!!! sorry
I keep my snakes in fairly simple set-ups now, it's easier to clean + they don't need quite that much humidity. I do appreciate nicely-done terrariums tho, kepp the pics coming! Yours are pretty, love the flowers.

Keri, i was thinking oh getting a rough green snake for on of them but they seem to be hard to find around here. I will get some pictures of the orchids when they flower.
Anything in them machete?
Nope, just plants for now.
I do wants some dart frogs though.
Ive thought about keeping darts many times. There are many different exquisite species available.
I find myself browsing on this website every now and then. :cool:

There are, or at least used to be, some really nice terrariums or vivariums kept by Canreefers. I know Sean/Tarolisol has some darts, maybe he'll see this and post some new pics.
I was tempted to try darts at some point but ... well, I'm just far too much leveraged into SW right now. Maybe one day though.
I'm kind of thinking though that, as much as I like the looks of those Exoterra's, I probably wouldn't keep darts in one without at least mods first maybe. I kept some salamanders in an Exoterra and the CRICKETS I fed them could escape the Exoterra. So pinheads and fruit flies are a sure thing to expect to find crawling and/or flying around all over the place. The crickets drive me crazy, the novelty of my basement sounding like a rainforest at night wears thin after a few weeks..
Anyhow, those are some great looking terrariums. Looks like maybe a couple pleurothallids/masdevallias in there ... nice. Whatcha using for lighting? Are you just misting manually or do you have a misting kit?
So pinheads and fruit flies are a sure thing to expect to find crawling and/or flying around all over the place.
Thats the main issue that stops me from pulling the trigger on this. My wife would not be happy if we had to hang flypaper from the ceiling throughout the house.. :lol:
There are a few mods for the exos to fruit fly proof them.. but then they look perty ugly. I would probably make some 10 or 20G verticals if i were to get some pdfs.
I was into bonsai, tropical plants, and terrariums before i was into to reefing so i gotta through a bit of money into hobbies i still love but have pushed off to the side.
I have 4 differnt orchids in the terrarium on the right, haha im really not good with the namesof orchids. I know the one big on is masdevellia for lighting im useing a 24" T5 sunlight supple new wave fixture and a exoterra hood and hand misting. I would like to get a misting kit one day.

I would love to get my hands on a Vriesea racinae. I once piggybacked on a group order on canadart and one of them was supposed to be that one (which didn't come) and one of them was supposed to be Neo. fireball (which I'm sure what came, isn't). So if you have either of those we might have to talk :)
I was into orchids before tanks, and getting into SW was the worst thing that ever happened to me in terms of that hobby. One day I really need to scale back on the tanks so I can return to some form of respectability with my plants...
What background are you using in the terrariums? Did you stay with the stock styrofoam or did you make your own? I'd love to try one with a drip wall of some kind.
not sure of the names of the broms i have but i can get pics if you want. i just got into orchids... pretty much just ones that wil grow in my terrarium i have a wired fascination with epyphitic plants. The terrarium on the left is expanding foam sillicone and coco fiber and the one on the right is epi web with a drip wall

Orchids! I have a couple of those exo-terra tanks just kicking around, the Ball pythons quickly outgrew them, wasting space in storage....you've given me ideas!!
edit: how are the plants anchored to the back wall?

Cool
pretty much depends on the humidity.. i have had plants go right into te foam. the other tank has something called epi web in it.. its pretty much a thick scrubbing pad. plants root easily on it.

Correct they are Red Foots, the one you prob thought was a russian is the little yellow foot hanging out with them.
They would totally eat cacti, anything that aint brown or black is on the menu for these guys, even if it isnt good for them, they dont know any better. Eating machines, nothing like watching them lay waste to a cantelope.

I caught these guys in the morning up at the front of the tank near the pond. Almost every morning before my lights turn on while the sun shines through my window and into the tank these guys are always up and around the pond.
I'll try to get a new FTS.. i am missing a plant on the left side there..not sure if i should add a brom there or just let the creeping fig or plant on bottom grow up.
Where do you get your broms Machete? i love those red ones.. i cant find any good ones..any places to order from that you know of?
awsome frogs i really need to get my act together and pick some up.
i got the big groups of the red ones from art knapps in kelowna.

Well, after seeing these few pics I was inspired. I ran out and with my DIY mentality I have created my first terrarium. Other than Hawaiin Botanicals, is there another store i should check out for miniature orchids and other plants?
"the orchid shop" Its in fort langley i believe there web page is down at the moment there shop is on glover and 96ave, i think they are open wednesday to sunday 9-5 ish 604 888 8194 .mostly orchids but do have some broms and ferns... just say you are looking for orchids that will do well in terrariums and she will show you a good selection. they also carry cork bark, epiweb, lighting and other random green house terrarium stuff..
now you have to post pictures.:mrgreen:

Okay, Machete inspired me. Here is my first attempt. I went out this weekend and bought a candle lamp and made it waterproof. I bought some wood and plants from Hawiian Botanicals including one carnivorous, one jewel orchid and two bromilliad and awaiting a panel of LED lights from E-bay. Will probably add a little computer fan later.
I'm sure I have made a million errors but I can already tell, I'm going to like this hobby.
I posted some pics on photobucket but I can't seem to link them.

i have about 20 orchids in an orchid room aka my shed, the one i think is best for a terrerium is the 'Jewel Orchid' ludisia discolour, they have velvety purple leaves with gold or red veins.
Alot of orchids dont do well in terreriums as they grow in treetop jungles and dont like stagnent air and need high airflow with high hummidity.
justusfish i cant see your jewel orchid where did you hide it?
Phaph type orchids grow well in swampy conditions as well as phrag's they are both lady slipper orchids.
Thats a awsome little terrarium. did you get that candle holder at super store?
jewel orchids are awsome Hawiian Botanicals only had one huge plant last time i was there and i didnt want to take a chance with a un rotted cutting.. i havent been back there because gus is to much... wish i had a place like that closer to me.... any ways to solve the lack of air flow i just put a small pc fan in my terrariums just to keep a bit of air movment and my chids seem to really like it there all growing and flower.
few shots of my most resent flowering.. lasted about 2 weeks.. now its got another comin in shortly.

Due to the weird shape of the hood of my terrarium, I am using this lighting I found on EBAY. If it works, great, if not, it was cheap and not that big a deal, but it should fit and be totally hidden without creating any real heat issues.

Those white orchids are beautiufl. I think I paid 25 bucks for the orchid. There were three in the pot. I went with the red/blue for growing and will have four tiny white spot lights for regular viewing. I thought the red/blue was more full spectrum. If the whites do the same thing, I might switch over to that later. I'll take photos when I have it up and running. I should receive the lights in about a week.
I love creating artful, mini landscapes.

Nice orchid, the jewel orchids can also be green with red veins or purple with gold or green with green veins, all look very nice, their flowers are small white with yellow centers and flower quite well for me and its the only orchid i keep in my house with no suplimental light, ( other than splash from my aquarium.)
You will have to keep us informed on how that LED light fixture preforms and how well your plants grow.
got bored today so went plant shopping. found a really cool nursery just out side of aldergrove along fraser hwy... really unorginized and large.. but that makes things fun..

I was also inspired by this thread, (thanks alot I didn't really need another hobby :smile:) I picked up a 18x18x24 Exo Terra yesterday. I also ordered a Mistking kit.
Still doing my research but I'm planning on doing the FF mods, maybe use an Aqualifter for a water feature and still not decided on which way to go with the background, either Epiweb or Great Stuff.
I'm ultimately hoping to put in a group of D.leucomelas.
Anyone have any tips for culturing FF's? That's the part I'm most apprehensive about.
Haha:mrgreen: Lots of hobbies are good. :twised:
Might be interested in selling or trading my terrariums (minus a few of my mini orchids) thinking of making one big terrarium to house all my greenhouse plants, as i cant justify heating a 6'x6' greenhouse for 10 plants. If anyones interested pm me.

I finished my Exo-terra build, should be fruit fly proof and ready for some leucs.
There is a small waterfall and pond powered by 2 Aqualifters hooked up in parallel.
Picked up some cheap plants at Golden Acres, we'll see what grows. Still need to get a couple small broms for the back.
The Mist King is great, the timer can go down to 1 sec.

It looks AWESOME!!! Nice work.
Can you post a picture of the timer? When I bought Mist King stuff a couple years ago there was no timer available from him. (I've never gotten around to setting up a vivarium yet, I'm just pack-ratting the equipment until the day comes that I have time to take care of it.) A timer with 1-second resolution is something I'd love to get my hands on. Can it be sold separately or do you have to buy a whole new kit, do you know?
Pescador
10-29-2008, 03:17 AM
Sure no problem. They sell the timer as a $28.99 add on, you would think they would sell you one separately.
It came in Mistking packaging with nothing identifiable except the product # on the back.
Tony I ended up with way to much coco bark, substrate material and other stuff so if you decide to give it a go let me know.
So now to order springtails and fruit flies.:neutral:

No offense, but those torts have some horrible pyramiding happening. And usually in the case of red foots and other forrest torts it's due to either poor diet or too low a humidity. Can I ask what your feeding them? A Diet too high in fruit will destroy them, it should only make up about 10% of their WEEKLY diet, not daily. Not trying to be rude, just hate seeing torts with pyramids. But the pen looks great. At least your giving them room
My sulcatas are rescues and have a little pyramiding because the people who owned them before were feeding them way too much protien and way too much food as it were. They have since stopped pyramiding and are growing up nicely.
A Diet too high in fruit will destroy them, it should only make up about 10% of their WEEKLY diet, not daily. Not trying to be rude, just hate seeing torts with pyramids.
You know I am no math geek but if you feed them 10% fruit daily that will still mean they are only getting 10% fruit weekly.

I've been culturing melanogaster and it's been a piece of cake so far. I start 2 new cultures every 11 days and toss them after 30 days. I end up with 4-8 going at a time. I need more frogs!
Actually I'm going to order a couple more leucs from Understory pretty soon so this guy won't be lonely.
I'm using media from Josh's and it's great, it smells like cinnamon.
I've also got a couple of springtail cultures going as well as what I seeded the tank with.
Sure you don't want to change that big tank to a viv? :biggrin:

My daughter has a chameleon, 'Spike' in a small 10 gallon converted to reptile use. He's growing fast and I've bought some lumber hoping to make a larger terrarium for the critter in time for xmas. Any leads or suggestions on building your own using wood & screening etc.??
I just setup this extro for some Lygodactylus williamsi

for chameleons don't use screen that is used in sceen doors. Its been known to pull out their nails. Use something that has a 1 cm hole and than feed your chameleon with a cup. The cup must be transparent so the chameleon can see that food is in it and will eventually learn that he or she will learn where to actually get the food. Also hand feed the guy at different distances so that she or he can fully use their tongue. when a chameleon only uses it at certain lengths this can slowly leed to being unable to use it and you will have to hand feed them.
What type of chameleon is it? for veiled and panthers an enclosure that is 4'x4'x2' is best, millers are ok in the same size and depending on the species of jacksons you can get away with a smaller enclosure.

these photos are a little dated, as many have changed or gown in some. I have also added many more enclosures for rearing of the copious young .
this is a vacant viv at the moment

Great pics Kevin, I love the "plants in bamboo" idea
No Worries because I wont be feeding crickets!!!!!
I am going to keep them on the Repashy prepared food to treats once or twice a week of Microworms and fruit Flies!!
Those little guys with the green heads if you have lots of them I would be happy to help reduce your numbers. I love these guys and want to set up a few tanks of different Lygodactylus, Crested Gecko, Peacock Geckos, and maybe some Giant Day Geckos.
Actually I wouldnt mike some of the Kimhowelli if you have those too.
I will PM you my # maybe we can talk more.
