Project Showcase

We designed a terrarium that closely mimics a bearded dragon’s natural habitat. Our goal was to improve their living conditions by providing more space for movement and natural behaviors, such as hunting and exploring.

• Enhance the bearded dragon’s environment by creating a more naturalistic habitat.

• Increase space for exercise and enrichment.

• Implement a bioactive setup for a healthier and more sustainable ecosystem.

Koreynne:

1. The natural habitat of a bearded dragon.

2. How to design a terrarium that replicates this environment.

3. The benefits of a bioactive tank for overall health.

Bri:

1. Identifying safe plants for bearded dragons.

2. Choosing the best substrate for their habitat.

3. Understanding the functionality of a bioactive terrarium.

Koreynne:

• This project allowed me to share my knowledge with others, including my family, who own reptiles.

• I had little experience with reptiles before and took this as an opportunity to overcome my fears.

Bri:

• Having two bearded dragons at home, I already had experience, but I saw the need for better enclosures.

• This project aligns with my future goal of transitioning my own reptiles to a bioactive terrarium.

Koreynne:

• If I did this again, I wouldn’t house a male and female together due to fighting issues.

• I would also choose a partner with a similar schedule and research materials more thoroughly beforehand.

Bri:

• If I had a chance to redo this project, I would make both tanks the same larger size to give the dragons even more space.

Koreynne:

• Overcoming my fear of reptiles.

• Stepping out of my comfort zone and improving my teamwork skills.

• Gaining hands-on experience with an unfamiliar type of animal.

Bri:

• Creating a larger and more enriching habitat for the bearded dragons.

• Seeing the positive impact of a properly designed enclosure on their activity and well-being.
