I haven't done a build thread this time around, but above the finished pictures I have included a link to the Facebook album which shows the step by step progress of the build.
The theme of this build was a ruined jungle temple, based on those seen in Thailand. I have always loved the idea of a 'giant' snake roaming around an ancient temple, as the giant guardian of its secrets and treasures.
As well as the build itself, I made several silk flower planters (3 x lilac, 2 x fern) as part of my double intention to provide suitable coverage and add to the jungle-like feel. I also used artificial ivy to make a wall mounted pot and a wrapped branch. This viv is light with LEDs on a dimmer for both day and night viewing (thank you reptiles-ink!) and heated with a ceramic bulb. This was built into a Vivexotic VX36 vivarium.
