One of my favorite terrariums here at Reptile Life Exoterra 90x90x45 I took alot of plants out today, so its very empty. So unfortunately doesn't look this good right now but one trip to Leaf Empire, I'm sure this enclosure will be looking even better.

From prepping timber pieces to installing a misty waterfall, this little habitat is turning into a real slice of jungle life!Watch as we shape each element to make a cozy, dynamic space that’s perfect for our future residents. And trust us, this is just the beginning—there’s plenty more to come!

Our Chinese Water Dragons’ New Grow Out Enclosure! We are thrilled to share an exciting update about our two Chinese Water Dragons as they settle into their brand-new grow-out enclosure! These incredible reptiles are native to the rainforests of China and Southeast Asia, and we’ve gone the extra mile to recreate a habitat that truly reflects their natural environment. A Water Feature for Their Comfort Chinese Water Dragons are unique creatures with specific needs, especially when it comes to water. Unlike many reptiles that are content with standing water, our Water Dragons prefer flowing water to feel secure and thrive. To cater to this, we’ve installed a beautiful waterfall in their enclosure. The constant movement of water mimics the streams and rivers they would encounter in the wild, helping to keep them hydrated and happy. A Misting System for a Rainforest Experience To further replicate the humid conditions of their natural habitat, we’ve added a misting system. This setup not only maintains the necessary humidity levels but also gives them that refreshing rainforest experience they love. It’s a sight to behold when the mist rolls in, creating a lush, tropical environment that our dragons can bask in. A Safe and Spacious Environment The new grow-out enclosure offers ample space for our dragons to explore, climb, and bask under the UVB lighting, which is crucial for their health and well-being. The natural branches, rocks, and plants provide enrichment and encourage natural behaviors, making this new setup a perfect home as they continue to grow. We are incredibly excited to watch our Chinese Water Dragons thrive in this new space, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated on their progress!

So we did a little revamp on our Bearded Dragon enclosure.. What do you guys think? It’s a wooden box enclosure, so first we made the inside waterproof.. we then added some key pieces like the wood, and the light fittings. Then we added some sprayfoam, got to carving, and then applied some grouting, then some more grouting, oh and then a little more grouting. Then after one last bit of grout, added some reptile sand, a Haworthia Fasciata here and there.. Lastly we let it air out for a few days with a fan blowing out to ensure no funny fumes stay behind. Once we were happy it was fume free, we added the 50w Daylight basking lamp, and the 10.0 UVB, for those that don’t know, UVB light helps bearded dragons create and regulate their own vitamin D3 levels, which is essential for calcium metabolism. Then because we’d rather be safe than sorry, we ran the enclosure empty for a few more days just to make sure everything was running correctly, temps are optimal, and that all was going to be perfect for its new tenant. We then popped in some water, and a few of Draco’s favourite feeder bugs, and as you can see Draco is quite happy and enjoying his new home. #reptiles #beardeddragon #reptilelovers

Revived an existing terrarium.. Added some live moss, beefed up the soil, added some Begonia Dregei Glasgow, a nice bright Croton, a tiny bit of mentha, revived some Pellonia, and it doesn’t look too bad..
