Watch as we turn a huge acrylic cube into a custom built living jungle! By using all @ZooMed products we carefully design the ultimate tropical vivarium for a special turtle! This epic enclosure can also house a wide variety of animals including dart frogs, treefrogs, snakes, geckos and other lizards. See how it all came together step by step.
Special thanks to @BlakesExoticAnimalRanch for donating the turtle for this build!

My vote goes for a pink tongue skink or another type of small tropical skink, maybe crocodile skinks?
I've been following you guys ever since the snake discovery build off (which by no surprise you guys WON!) and you never cease to amaze me with what incredible and beautiful habitats you create for your animals ❤😊
Nice enclosure build, I can see Poison Dart Frogs live in it 🙂👍🐢
Did you guys add the ants for the turtle? As live in snack inhabitants?
Super cool setup
I also watch Blake,he has some awesome turtles& tortoises of his own!you always put together the most awesome enclosures,you and Casey did an awesome job,and the turtle..what a beautiful sweet shell baby🐢
You and Casey make the most beautiful of enclosures.💗💗💗
Another absolutely incredible enclosure for sure. Thanks for sharing…
Hi Garden State! I love your content so much and I have a question I have been thinking about. Do all turtle species lay eggs without actually mating and most of all I'd love to know if box turtle females will lay eggs without a mate?
I used to keep Centeal American Ornate Woods, R. Phulcerima. Most destructive turtle ever, they poop like cows as soon you clean the water area, flip everything up side down and crush/eat any plant. I gave up and sold them😂
Wow This Turtle is Living the best life epic set up!
Absolutely beautiful! You did an awesome job! Would a tropical setup like that also work for a small redfoot tortoise, or would it be too damp?
Some incredible habitat artistry on display!! Hope your Turtle buddy loves it. ❤🐢
Thanks for posting. i just got an ornate wood turtle a few days ago. It's a similar species .really line enclosure.
That is the most beautiful enclosure!!!
Very nice simulation of their native environment.
I know it’s not a turtle but dart frogs would be cool in that enclosure…
I have a question i saw your website about all testudo graeca species but I didn't find any info on how to distinguish each subspecie even though there are pics of each subspecie is really hard to tell. Is there a way of how to identify them in a book, pdf file, forum? I will be very happy if you answer my question. Thanks a lot!!
Absolutely gorgeous. One lucky turtle.😊
What's the name of the place in Chicago? I need to create something indoors because I've ruined the carpeting in Charlie's room and it is now his room so I need to do it right!
We want an update on Mickey!!! love her ❤
That enclosure would be perfect for black breasted leaf turtles you guys did an awesome job going to have one happy turtle 👍
This is beautiful but how did ants get into the tank.?
Wonderful!
It's an environmental simulator. That's epic.
Wow.. that is really nice !
I think she should share it with some bright and/ or milky forest frogs …. that would definitely thrive in a tropical rainforest! and they could stay there after she out grows it.
That is a beautiful habitat! How (and how often) do you clean up turtle poop and leftover food?
Love from India🇮🇳
Snake would love that
