Custom Glass Vivariums in Essex – Bespoke Euro Vivariums for Dart Frogs
Off-the-shelf tanks leak flies, lose humidity, and rarely fit your space. At RKY Vivariums (Essex), we design and fabricate custom glass vivariums and euro vivariums that solve all of that: fly-proof doors, front access, stable airflow, and integrated drainage/misting — engineered specifically for dart frogs and bioactive builds.
Why Choose a Custom Glass Vivarium?
- Fly-proof by design — precision tracks, door stops, and sealed pass-throughs stop escapes.
- Made-to-measure — any practical dimension or shape, including alcoves, corners, and L-shapes.
- Front-opening euro style — easy access without disturbing lighting or misting rigs.
- Humidity stability — correct vent sizing and placement preserve tropical conditions.
- Built in Essex, delivered UK-wide — with optional installation and hardscape services.
What Is a Euro Vivarium?
A euro vivarium features front-opening twin glass doors, a continuous ventilation strip, and tidy service runs for cables and misting. The format improves maintenance access, keeps air moving, and maintains the humidity dart frogs require.

FAQ
Are your glass vivariums fruit-fly proof?
Yes. We engineer door overlaps, stops, and seal points to block fruit-fly escape routes.
Can you build to exact sizes and shapes?
Yes — within safe glass engineering limits. Share your dimensions and we’ll advise the optimal spec.
Do you add drainage and misting ports?
Yes. We can pre-install drains, misting nozzles, fogger inlets, and cable pass-throughs.
Do you deliver outside Essex?
Yes — we deliver UK-wide and offer installation on request.
What glass thickness do you use?
We specify thickness for rigidity and safety based on size and load — using high-quality polished glass only.
