Vivarium Photo Gallery

Vivariums With Heavy Duty Backgrounds, Manufactured Backgrounds, and No Backgrounds

Most of the vivariums featured below are fairly simple to build, and range from incredibly basic to moderately complex. While not as intricately detailed as a vivarium with a fully custom background (showcased in a separate gallery), the methods of building shown below provide an extremely durable & long-lasting environment which won't break the budget. This gallery features many NEHERP Heavy Duty custom backgrounds, some manufactured backgrounds, and one or two enclosures without any background at all. Since those types of backgrounds aren't common for large enclosures, most vivariums featured below aren't exceedingly large. We hope these images can help inspire builders of any experience level to create the environment they are dreaming about. If you'd like to see what's involved with building your own, we'd suggest checking out our Vivarium Kit pages. Just about every single one of these enclosures was built using our discounted, specially designed kits following our Vivarium Articles as DIY instructions.
 

About The Vivarium ID Numbers
 
 
 

About Vivarium IDs

A unique Vivarium ID Number has been assigned to every vivarium in our galleries. This helps us keep our photos organized, and also allows anyone to reference specific enclosures for detailed info when contacting us. With a Vivarium ID number, we can access any enclosure's build data to answer questions regarding plants, lighting, background type, wood decor, and more. :-) Furthermore, we've broken up the vivariums into a few classes to keep organization simple, and to help viewers know a little more about each vivarium just by looking at the class prefix.
 
Vivarium ID Classes:
CB Series: Vivarium built with Custom Background Kit
CT Series: Vivarium built using a Cork Tile Background
EB Series: Vivarium built using Exo Terra's Stock Background
HD Series: Vivarium built with Heavy Duty Background Kit
NB Series: Vivarium built without any background material
 
We hope this organizational system helps explain a little bit about how each vivarium is built! If you have any questions about any vivariums in this gallery, don't hesitate to email us & reference the specific Vivarium ID! We'll be glad to help.
