About Vivarium Collective
We're dedicated to nurturing the world of vivariums and supporting their creators by fostering a shared pool of vivarium knowledge.
Why A Collective?
Educate
We aim to educate people on the art and science of vivarium construction. Building a vivarium is more than just putting a few plants and animals in a glass enclosure; it requires careful planning and consideration of the animals that you are making a home for.
Our goal is to provide comprehensive information about the best practices for building vivariums that are both beautiful and functional, so that you can create a healthy and thriving ecosystem for your pets to live in.
Advocate
As people who love animals, we truly believe that it's our responsibility to take great care of them. Especially when it comes to vivariums - since the animals live in a closed ecosystem that we've created, we need to make sure we're providing them with the proper environment, enrichment, and nutrition.
We will always advocate for the welfare of the animals that live within vivariums, and will provide information on how to care for them in a responsible and ethical way.
Celebrate
Finally, we believe that vivariums are not just about creating a beautiful display, but about equally about celebrating the incredible animals that will live within them.
These miniature ecosystems are a testament to the diversity and beauty of the natural world, and it is important to appreciate the animals that live within them. We hope to inspire people to see these vivariums not just as a decorative addition to their home, but as a celebration of the wonders of nature.
A Bit of Background
I started building vivariums as a teenager for my poison dart frogs, and it wasn't long before I had a wall full of them. I have always been drawn to nature and the beauty of the natural world, and creating vivariums has allowed me to combine my love of plants and animals with my background in design.
I am dedicated to providing high-quality guides, articles, and resources for beginners interested in building vivariums. I believe that vivariums can be a wonderful addition to any home, but it is important to build them with the health and well-being of animals that live within them top of mind.
Over the years, I have had many friends and visitors who have been fascinated by my vivariums. They are always amazed at the level of detail and care that goes into creating these miniature worlds. I am excited to be able to share my knowledge and expertise with even more people through this website.
I hope that you find the information and resources here helpful and inspiring. If you have any questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you!
