I started out with reptiles so many years ago I think my first reptile was a dinosaur. I got two small Anolis segrei from a dumb store and banged them in a small glass tank I had bought with sand and a lamp. They did ok but after reading my dad told me they would have to climb. Me having no money, my dad took me to a diy store and we bought some stuff and we made a uge tank for them.

Ever since I have been making my own stuff, like vivs, incubators, misting machinens and rainmakers and more. I got to know the places where to get cheap stuff or figoured out that byou do not have to get brand name lights or pumps.

I know a few people who swear by a brand name, me...just get me what I need and if it does the job.. that is all that matters.

So I am mad or can you create a good working viv with out spending half a ton in cash?

Youre totally right - theres a thread here Homemade VIV where people have posted their DIY vivs, and there are some great pics! We dont buy any premade vivs anymore, as all of ours are getting so huge - theyre all custom builds, and cost between 1/3-1/2 of normal premade prices.
