I wanted to help vivarium fans around the world by compiling a list of all resources all into one page. There are many great communities and blogs out there that are filled with great knowledge.
This vivarium resource page will help by placing them all into one and will hopefully help you find what you’re searching for. If you have any suggestions, feel free to comment below and I will add it to help other vivarium lovers in the future. 🙂
I will constantly update this page every day.
