ABSTRACT:
A vivarium with a raised side access panel which allows reptiles to be approached laterally rather than from above. A lower panel below the side access panel permits the vivarium to hold water for amphibians while permitting side access to the reptiles inside. The lower panel is an integral part of the lower segment of the vivarium. The lower panel in combination with the side panel and the floor provide a frameless, waterproof lower segment. A frame structure can be added for aesthetic reasons. The upper frame segments allow the top lid to be permanently mounted such that a variety of equipment can be placed on the top cover of the vivarium without being disturbed when the vivarium is accessed through the side access panel. The shape of the frame segments form recessed bottom which can hold an optional heating element to control temperature in the vivarium from below. An alternative embodiment is split between lower and upper halves such that the upper half can be raised up and off of the lower segment for easy maintenance and cleaning.
