Custom Bioactive Terrarium Setup Service for Reptiles, Amphibians and Invertebrates

Usable space

Let’s face it – an empty glass box is not suitable for any animal to live in. That’s why usable space is at the forefront of my design vision. I aim to increase the area that the animal can interact with and explore, with the goal to provide an environment that the inhabitant cannot just live, but thrive in.

Natural rainforest theme

Every animal deserves to live in the environment it has evolved to thrive in. My terrarium designs mimic a tropical rainforest; a humid and lush biome that is home to countless species of flora and fauna. A bioactive ecosystem including live tropical plants, live moss, microfauna and self-draining substrate all serve to achieve an environment that is as close to a natural rainforest as possible.

Your pet is my priority

I design every terrarium to fit the needs of the specific species that will inhabit it. Terrestrial species such as poison dart frogs will benefit from ramps and platforms to aid with climbing and exploration, whereas arboreal geckos would be better suited with branches and high-up hides.

Frequent updates

Throughout the build process, you will receive frequent updates in the form of pictures and messages to keep you up to date with the progress of your terrarium. The average turnaround time is 3 weeks, however please allow up to 6 weeks to receive your completed terrarium.

    Please be specific with species and state the number of animals. Please note my rainforest themed terrariums are not suitable for animals from arid desert environments such as leopard geckos and bearded dragons.


    I can work with brand new or I can reuse 2nd hand terrariums. Used terrariums are cheaper, but can take longer to source. I only use good quality used terrariums and I clean them ready to be used for your setup. Please note minor imperfections may remain after cleaning.


    Any preferences on the design of your terrarium. Please indicate if you would like a water section for a semi-aquatic species and the land to water ratio you require. I offer standing water sections only, no running water features.
