custom viv for bosc

[vandal]

So after reading acromyrmexbob's threads I thought I'd give it a go myself and this is what I came up with. It's 7x3x3 and once it's air'd I'll be adding 3/4 ton of garden soil which should give just under 2ft soil depth at the back.
Check it out and let me know what you think.

The rectangle on the right is for a door which doubles as a ramp


plumbing exit's out the right hand side of the viv.


Also,can anyone recommend some grass that will survive bosc temps?

thats amazing, about to build something similar myself, how are you dealing with the wieght of it? i will be moving into a rented house in september and will nedd to move the viv however with all that soil im not sure how to go about doing it. obviously i will need to take the soil out but im also thinking of having the viv built in two halves. how long did you spend making this? come across any problems? also any mor pics

looks good, try some ornamental grasses or you can get savannah grass if you hunt around, to be honest its not so much the temps that kill them but the boscs themselves, they get dug up etc.

Quick update. still a couple of things needed to finish it off but the monsters in and seems happy enough.

hi and thanks. I live in a 1st floor flat with concrete floors so the weight isnt as much of an issue. the build took roughly 3 months to complete and cost roughly 1k to build. the only problem I had was......the whole build lol Because of the way I designed it it had to be built in situe which meant everything from cutting wood,mixing cement to painting was all done in my lounge. not the best idea I've had as I live in rented accommodation but luckily I have a very understanding landlord,thank god
