- This video presents to you the entire process of how I made a huge reptile vivarium. This vivarium build was a challenging but very rewarding project. You will see just how the enclosure is constructed, making a rock wall background that also contains hide and nest boxes hidden inside it and much more!
Stay until the end to see a cinematic presentation of the finished product and to see the reptiles in their new home!
I wanted to create a natural vivarium setup that was interesting both for the lizards and me as their caretaker. The reptiles living in this now completed vivarium are a pair of Blue Tree Monitors (Varanus macraei). These were a dream monitor lizard for me to obtain and I wanted to give them the best natural vivarium setup that I could provide. Tree monitors are very much a rain forest reptile and are highly active, needing as much space as you can give them.
If you have any questions about the build feel free to leave a comment below and I will do my best to help you out.

@@SpectrumVivaria what wuz added tu the polyurethane Wut kind of waterproofing please nd thank u
good job its nice and simple but coming from a industrial construction back ground and its mainly just me because I get payed to be picky I would have added more structural support and done few things different but no way any one without my skill set would have been able to recreate it so again great job
THIS WAS THE SICKEST REPTILE ENCLOSURE I WATCH CREATED. YO YOU GET 10 THUMBS UP !!!!!!
I appreciate the 10 thumbs up - But did you subscribe and hit the notification Bell too?! 😅
What sort of deal with the devil do I gotta make to have this talent?
The cuphead kind
Let no one say that you aren't as much an artist as a craftsperson, even if the carvings have a utility function, the skill, not to mention the time and effort, shows your artistic skill and style
The amount of thought that went into all the little details is top notch. Beautiful animals as well
What an epic build! Your love for your animals and the hobby shows in your work. Truly inspirational. Greetings from a fellow hobbyist from South Africa
Having the build inspire others is very motivating, thank you!
This was just phenomenal, One day I will make a bioactive vivarium that is just as stylish as this, but probably on a smaller scale.
I remember this has been one of the main videos that I really poured over when I was trying to understand foam and Drylok at the very beginning. Really helpful for my giant build! I’m working on my own series of videos of making of stuff now, and owe a lot to you! Thank you so much! Randy
Fantastic build! Thank you for sharing!
Hey bud thank you! You've got an interesting collection and channel, look forward to seeing your adult enclosure build for Sabzi when the time comes!
Awesome video dude. Love the little detail of how you stopped the timelapse so we could see your dog :)
He made a few unexpected cameos and it felt right to include them. It was a lot of fun checking the footage/editing it haha. Appreciate the feedback!
Very awesome! Thank you!
Dude! That is freaking amazing!!!!

That looks absolutely amazing. I love to see what everyone is doing during this time and you clearly have made a good use of the time off!
It's been helpful for sure, been meaning to get it done for some time now! Glad you enjoyed it thank you
you are brilliant bro!
Looks so sick

Ty for sharing. Their Mansion is beautiful.
Very nice build! I really like the nest and hide boxes... gonna use that for my next project! The Monitors are stunning and fit in there perfectly.
Ur a straight up artist
Fantastic job fella....your reptiles couldn't have wished for a better home
Your a man after my own heart
Awesome build and monitors!
Dude this is amazing! Well done!
Thanks dude!
This is nothing short of art. You've got some lucky reptiles. Also thanks for pointing me to that drylok stuff. I make terrain for my D&D campaign with xps foam, so that's really gonna bring it up a notch!
Wow so intricate. Your lizards have now a cool home! 😊
Excellent video and terrific build, thanks for sharing all your hard work!
Perfect vivarium!!
Solid work.
I worked in an upholstery shop for many years and a angle grinder with a flapper wheel make short work of foam shaping. It does require some vacuuming but it works great.
Also an electric carving knife is great as well.
That was incredible.
SUPER!!!
Great Project! 👍
Great video... loved it
This is beautiful!
Awesome work!
This build..wow! I could never make a enclosure this cool
I’m not going to lie. When I saw you gluing styrofoam together in that beautiful box I thought “WHAT THE HELL”. At the end of the video, I simply thought that this was a magnificent handcrafted vivarium. Very well done! Definitely subscribing!
Magnificent
17 minutes well spent. Awesome video. Great job.
Bro this is the greatest build I've ever seen Well Done!
That is awesome
Wow this look even better than a zoo enclosure well done
Wow, this was absolutely stunning
Thanks Ian!
Great job
Love what you did, i did this a few years back with a lot of my enclosures, i used black as underground and dry painted it with grey, so you get more nuance and shadow!
Phenomenal work!
sick build
This is really goodly good ;) Happy reptiles :)
The little dog is the real star of the video lol
Incredible build! Found it very inspiring, thank you!
Wow! I've watched so many videos of enclosure builds and this is the best one I've seen! It came out beautiful!
There are a lot of great build videos on CZcams so this is high praise, thank you! I look forward to sharing more builds in the future :)
Stunning🤩💙😍
Excellent build!
Awesome work, bro. Great choice leaving in the mistakes you made. And that slow mo foam cutting - like a John Woo sword fight👌
Amazing build, and equally amazing monitor!!!
I’ve been a huge fan of collecting reptiles and have always wanted to get a monitor forever! This video is going to help me build my own vivarium🤘
Well Done!
Great job 💯🔥
Such a beautiful enclosure for some amazing little monitor lizards! 🦎🦎
Awesome
A very incredible set up.
Amazzing
Man that’s a sweet build!! Good work!

the plastic bins in the nest/hides is such a smart smart idea, props!!! wish i thought of that!
Mate that is amazing. Really like it. Subbed
Very well done gave me a idea on both my monitors and there enclosures
Loved the video. Cant wait to see future projects. Keep it up!

Nice build. The hide boxes were very innovative. Y'all have a badass day 🤘
Incredible job
That’s sick! Love it!
Thanks!
Truly inspirational! Those blue tree monitors are even more gorgeous than I had imagined seeing them here for the first time. Hopefully they breed for you and produce many eggs and offspring for years to come. Maybe I can buy one someday, lol? Not likely but I can dream.
That looks sick!
Thanks 👍
Very impressive
🦎 EVERYTHING 💚💚💚
Well done I used to keep Varanus Macrei my self and built a huge terrarium as well!!
That is epic no other words
Thank you so much for this it inspired me so much. Currently made mine for my boa just finishing the interiors ❤️ so thank you!!!
This blew my mind. Would love to see a video on how you make your diy vines. They look solid!
It will be my next video upload, it has had the most interest so I feel a need to prioritize it! You know what to do to make sure you see when it goes live :) Thanks for the kind words
Dude great job. Really enjoyed the video
Thanks Mark!
Thinking of doing a similar project … excellent job … thanks for uploading
This was awesome to watch!
Thank you! That was the goal :)
Epic. Well done! Thank you for the inspiration. :)
マジでスゲー✨
時間と手間とお金と知識
爬虫類の愛情
ほんまにすごい
Perfect architect.
14:19 I'd put a nice foam pillow in there with a cotton pillow case that has the end tied off. My mangrove monitor knows better than to defecate where it sleeps. I watched this video many times, love the ambiance.
This video is great I basically followed your instructions here and made mine like how you did yours. Wouldn’t have been able to make mine without your vid. Struggling big time with my rock wall now getting it to look as good as yours lol
