Aquarium & Terrarium Pets

Are you interested in keeping aquarium or terrarium pets, but unsure of how to start? … I’m here to help! 

From the initial planning to designing a habitat and introducing animals, I can guide you through the process.

I can provide ideas for enrichment, and coach you in training and interacting with your pets.

I have experience with a variety of terrestrial species, including arthropods, amphibians, and reptiles,

as well as aquatic invertebrates and fish. I specialize in freshwater community aquariums.

 

It starts with a virtual meet & greet: an initial meeting to discuss what you want.

The initial meet & greet is 20 minutes for $49.

 

Services are paid at the time of booking.

In-home consultations are available for an additional charge if you are within a reasonable distance from Lake Oswego, Oregon, US.

Aquarium & Terrarium Planning

Dreaming of that ideal setup? Let me do the research and present you with some options.

 

species of interest • available space • budget • maintenance

 

Includes:

1 hour consultation x1

Setup

Setup takes place over several weeks, allowing the habitat to become biologically stable before introducing animals. I will help you set up everything, including the enclosure, equipment, substrate, and scaping. When the habitat is ready, I will help introduce the animals.

 

Setup is available if you are within a reasonable distance from Lake Oswego, Oregon, US.
