Can I Set Up a Vivarium for $75?
Welcome back to yet another vivarium build. This one focuses mainly on techniques that could help you reduce the overall cost of you project. That said, I feel like using the term “budget vivarium” is somewhat subjective. As I eluded to in the video, I could and do make vivariums MUCH cheaper than this on a regular basis because I buy things in bulk. However, I know the average hobbyist doesn't make as many setups as myself and buying things in bulk is more expensive upfront. Regardless, making a successful vivarium doesn't require a ton of money.
Jefferey of Reptile Edge supplied me with the Rept-Viv Pro and $75 to set up this vivarium. Reptile Edge is a Canadian based reptile supply company. They sell reptile ledges, enclosures and much more. Check out the below links for more on Reptile Edge.

Like I said in the video, I'm not endorsing this product. I'm simply showcasing it and showing you how I built a decent budget vivarium within it. That said, overall I do think it's a solid enclosure.
*Here are the list of items that I used to make this vivarium - Cork Bark, Coco Husk, Coco Fiber, Knitting Mesh, Plants (Cryptanthus 'Pink Star', Ficus pumila, Pilea 'Dark Mystery', Fittonia 'White Vein', Syngonium podophyllum 'Regina Red' ), Lumpwood Charcoal, Pea Pebbles (Gravel), Sphagnum Moss, Sand, 100% Silicone and Cork Tiles. I linked up all of the items that I could.
