Default My vivarium

Hi all,

got inspired by Occellatus post and Sean's guide to vivarium setup, decided to try copying one over the weekend.









Just 1 day old, hope they will survive and flourish.

Hi,

most of the items were left overs from previous projects, so I didn't spent much. Bought only the following:

1) tree bark background ($13)
2) treefern-like plant ($12)
3) pitcher plant ($12)

moss and weeds were scraped and pulled from front porch garden.

The tank is outdoor (under translucent roof) so hopefully is sufficient. First time keeping carnivorious plants, and so I did saw the venus fly traps but dare not buy as they look very fragile. Are those in the pics yours? They look very healthy and nice.
