Picavorus Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I've just got a large vivarium to turn into a Nepenthes Terrarium. It's come with a large heat mat, heat lamp and electric light fittings. Both the heat mat and heat light are fitted with their own individual thermostat. I decided to go with the vivarium as I have no idea with setting up electrics and wanted to be sure that they were set up safely. Basically, this is it as it had just been carried in, before even straightening all the wires up properly and putting the sliding doors back on. I've plenty of plans for it to get it ready for its inhabitants to start moving in very soon. I'll post pictures as the project progresses 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picavorus Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 On just starting to look at the sizing with a few plants, to get an idea before starting to set it up. It quickly gained a new resident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicat Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Am i seeing that right, does he have a question mark over his head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picavorus Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 The hanging pots do give that impression, but she is most confused by it. She's constantly checking it out both inside and out, although I think her new perch will be on the top, above the heating once I've got it all set up.

Tropicat Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 oh thats just awesome! are you gonna turn it into a little landscape, or do you just keep the pots in there as they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picavorus Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Thanks. The plan is to turn it into a landscape with a small waterfall and a fogger system to help maintain the humidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicat Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I am very curious to what thats going to look like! I hope you are planning to post photos as updates! Hopefully I can make sth like that myself as well.... some day.... I was also very impressed by some of Krzysio's setups. Have you seen those?

Picavorus Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 It'll probably take me a while to be able to buy the various accessories I need, and collect bits and pieces to get it set up as a landscape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
