Let's start small with some of the popular reptiles of North America.
The aquarium on the left holds a pair of red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans). This species is found commonly in the southern United States and is notorious as an invasive species due to their popularity as pets. This popularity can be partially attributed to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who were supposedly once members of this species.
On the right is a desert terrarium containing a desert kingsnake (Lampropeltis getula splendida). It is found across the southwestern US and Texas. Although it shares its habitat with venomous rattlesnakes, the kingsnake is a constrictor and prefers, like boas, to crush its food to death.
I designed this set out of four interlocking parts. The connectors on each side of each terrarium allow them to be joined to other pieces, and the vegetated top pieces can be switched with other tops of the same size.
You will see these pieces recurring in future sets. The end goal is to have enough interchangeable pieces that a few sets can be turned into as many customized zoos as you can imagine. More on that later...
