Simple Terrarium

About

This terrarium was made by my brother and me. We made it for our chameleon, but I think you can use it for gecko or other lizards. =)

if you are asking what is Repti glow bulb I must say that is an UVB emissive bulb which is very needed for the lizards. It gives them necessary calcium.( You can buy it in pet store or on the internet. But I advice you to ask which is the best for your pet.
(P.S: Sorry for my English =D)

You Will Need (8 things)

  • 1 Ficus or another creeper
  • 2 Cable s
  • 1 Repti glow Bulb
  • 1 Light Bulb
  • Tree Branch es
  • Silicone Glue
  • Concrete powder
  • Water

Steps (7 steps, 1620 minutes)

  1. 1

    So first get an old terrarium. We used iron-plate one.
    Use polystyrene like seal. Also use for it silicone glue or some glue on porous surface.

  2. 2

    From the polystyrene make some "islands, hills or hideaways".
    Glue it inside and let it dry, best overnight.

  3. 3

    Next get the concrete powder and water.
    Mix it together as described in instruction.With the mixture smear the inside of the terrarium and let it dry.
    Repeat it about 4 times.
    On the picture you can also see flower-pot. It´s good to hide the light bulb,because the animal can burn from it.

  4. 4

    After drying.

  5. 5

    Now it´s the time to add the electrical.
    It is better to ask someone for help.
    On the top make two holes for the bulbs. As I said ask someone for the help with the electrical wiring.

  6. 6

    Final hide the normal bulb with the flower-pot, add tree branches and ficus or another creeper.
    Also add a door.

  7. 7

    And there he is. Our chameleon Jemi. =)
    I hope that this How to is not so difficult =D If you have any questions, ask me =)
