Step 1: Arid Desert Vivarium - Introduction

I know that keeping more than one species together is often frowned upon in the industry.  However, I wanted to build a vivarium that was large enough so that I could keep more than one carefully considered species.

I also had a different idea for a vivarium.  Usually vivariums are constructed inside an all glass aquarium.  I wanted more places for the animals to live and climb, with a smaller portion dedicated to viewing - while maintaining full visibility of the animals wherever they may be in the enclosure.

I decided upon a size of 4' by 4' by 4'.  This would provide enough floor space as well as plenty of climbing area on the walls.
