48" Vivarium Series

Find Your 48" Enclosure

Every 48" Vivarium is built on the same aluminum frame, tempered glass sliding doors, and heavy-duty screen top. What changes is the base. Choose a classic floor for any species, a subfloor for animals that live underground, or a sealed glass tray for habitats that need real water.
