Hey guys, I was thinking of putting together a planted terrarium for my blondi when it gets larger as display. I was wondering if any of you wouldnt mind posting some pictures of tropical enclusures so I could get some ideas! Thanks!

Here's a better idea...put some geckos in the tropical enclosure and put the blondi in a tank with dry dirt and a water dish because they don't actually need it to be a tropical enviornment to thrive...they actually prefer it dry

Here's a link to a do-it-yourself really fancy vivarium.

Now, I didn't use every step for my Avic set-ups, but it gave me some really great ideas and got the creativity going!

i also heard they prefer it wet and humid, keepin them in dry environments could be the reason they die during molts.

Really neat looking. Do bromelaids need much light?
