Vivariums Wholesale Guide for Reptile Retailers – Materials, Sizes, Certifications
If you run a reptile store or an online pet brand, you already know that choosing the right vivariums wholesale partner can make or break your margins. This guide walks you through material choices, sizing charts, certification standards, and shipping hacks—so you can order bulk vivariums with confidence and keep customers coming back.
1. What Exactly Is a Vivarium?
A vivarium is any enclosure that simulates a natural habitat for plants or animals. In the pet trade, we usually group them into four categories:
| Type | Primary Use | Common Animals |
|---|---|---|
| Terrarium | Dry habitat | Bearded dragons, leopard geckos |
| Aquarium | Fully aquatic | Fish, aquatic turtles |
| Paludarium | Semi-aquatic | Fire-bellied toads, crabs |
| Riparium | Water + land | Semi-aquatic lizards |
2. Materials Compared: Glass vs. PVC vs. Acrylic
Your material choice affects freight cost, insulation, and retail price. Below is a quick comparison we share with every vivariums wholesale client:
- Glass: Crystal-clear view, heavy, fragile. Best for high-end display tanks.
- PVC: Lightweight, fire-retardant, and easy to drill for cables. Ideal for flat-pack PVC reptile enclosures.
- Acrylic: Lighter than glass but scratches easily. Good for custom shapes.
This comparison table is updated monthly to help our vivariums wholesale partners pick the most profitable material.
