Here follows a description of how I built Iggys new terrarium/vivarium. You'll find comments on what went well and things that I'd make different the next time.

Iggy and my family likes the terrarium and maybe someone could benefit from this description.

In total the terrarium has cost me 4.500:- SEK (500 Euro or 600 USD). This includes everything. A good price for a fairly exclusive piece of furniture.

Two things that have been very helpful are the Exo-Terra Lighting Guide (PDF)and the Exo-Terra Catalogue (PDF). Another thing that I'd really would have liked to install is a Memolux (the have other cool things at www.vivaria.nl).
