BTDarters’ 20-Gallon Half-Circle Crested Gecko Vivarium

In this video, you will see a vertical vivarium enclosure I made for a Crested Gecko. Materials used, plants used and features of the vivarium are listed in the first part of the video. I've also listed them below if you would like to copy the content for any reason.

Materials
- One (1) “Thrive” Tropical Reptile Vertical Crescent Terrarium. 20 gallons in volume.- Custom background I made from black expanding foam, black silicone, repti-bark, coconut coir and Universal Rock™.- Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) drainage layer.- Manzanita driftwood, treated to ensure that it can withstand humidity fluctuations in a tropical terrarium.- Live Oak leaf litter.

Plants
- Phalaenopsis Miniature Moth Orchid, blooms cream in color- African Violet- English Ivy- Several epiphytic ferns, including Davallia heterophylla.- Heart-Shaped Leaf Fern- Cryptanthus bromeliads- Ficus pumila var. variegata- Various mossesFeatures
- Removable planters, to facilitate changing out plants when they are done blooming. Or, just to change the aesthetic.- Freely-draining planters - This ensures that water will not accumulate in the bottom of the planter pots, possibly causing root rot.- False bottom drainage layer - This allows excess water to pass through the soil mixture, thus ensuring that the bottom of the soil does not become anoxic.- Feeding ledge that allows placement and easy removal of Crested Gecko feeding dish.
