Orinoco Terrarium

Have you ever dreamed of the rainforest right in your living room? Large format vivaria/terraria are an ethereal way to realize dreams of Bornean forests, South American cordilleras, or Choco in your home, office, or institution.   Only large format structures allow plants and animals to reveal and experience their potential.  The Orinoco is the result of years of experience in designing, building, and maintaining large format terrariums, and its presence in your home, office, or institution will be a journey of discovery and awe.

The Orinoco comes in two sizes:  48” x 24” x 48” (1220 x 610 x 1220mm) and 48” x 24” x 72” (1830 x 610 x 1220mm).  The basic terrarium/vivarium has the following standard features:
