Well Stuarts original vivarium got put on hold due to a cracked panel but I thought I would create another vivarium for him since he's taken some simply amazing pictures for me to use on my site and in articles Cool

This is not finished yet but it's got 90% of the hardscape done.

Marking out

Start of a tree

Dry fit

Messy

Messy part done and you can see where I created a scar in the bark

Painting done for the most part.

Painted and final fit with a vine I created attached

Another angle.

And now you can all see why I trade vivariums with Stuarts pictures Laughing

Still more work to be done but figured I would show this now and let you al watch the progress I would say the hardscape is nearly finished and all I really have to do is some tidying up and planting.

Any way here's your viv mate can't thank you enough for the bad ass pictures you've taken for me!

Thanks for looking Cool

Do you have to now do the painting and touching up?

I printed out and was reading the 'Artifical Trees & Vines' pdf last night as I am planning one for a large Exo Terra I have sitting here (for dartfrogs)

Cheers

Looks wicked Paul... really nice framework for planting! With a viv this tall, whats your lighting plans? Or, if your planning on putting lots of broms in a "canopy" at the top, are you siply going to follow the natural order of things and put lots of shade/low light lovers at the base?

I would second the lighting question though...
