Be it a terrarium, vivarium, or other habitat that houses your pet reptile or amphibian, Josh's Frogs has you covered!

Emily Vivarium

The topic Habitat Construction includes step-by-step guides to constructing several types of habitat, from decorative terrariums for live plants to fully bioactive habitats for dart frogs and geckos. There are also several blogs covering background construction and hardscaping, a key step in the process. Backgrounds not only add visual appeal to an enclosure—they also provide visual barriers, increase usable surface area, and provide additional places to grow plants in a vivarium.

Heating and Lighting covers various methods of maintaining proper temperatures and light conditions in your habitat, as well as how to provide essential UVA and UVB light to animals that need it.

Plants includes blogs that discuss just that - the different plants and planting methods needed to create a successful vivarium.

Substrates contains blogs that discuss the different substrates appropriate for reptiles and amphibians, and how to use them.
