Outdoor vivarium

Hi, I am new to this board and am just working my way through past posts.

I am hoping to set up an outdoor vivarium over the winter and put the occupants in to it in the spring.

I have quite a bit of space so am going to make it about 15' x 20'. there will be a large pond, wood pile, hibernaculum and rockery included.

I want a nice mix of amphibians and reptiles in it that will survive the winter and possibly breed in the spring. could anyone suggest such a mix?

I know some of you have outdoor vivaria and there maybe a post like this else where.

I would also be interested in seeing some pictures of established outdoor vivaria.

I live in Ireland and beside the sea so we dont get hard frost.

Thank you and when I get it finished I will post some pictures.

Hello Killian,
which direction has the vivaria? To the South?

Is it directly closed to the house wall?

I think firebellied toads are possible.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
