Vivarium Systems & Exotics

The whole habitat.

Dialed in.

Complete, tankless habitat kits for leopard geckos and bearded dragons, built for the reptile living in them, not the shelf they're sold on. Everything your animal needs to thrive, not just survive.

Gear that does the job

Arcadia T5 UVB, real thermostats and real meters in every kit.

Dimming control

A dimming thermostat holds the basking spot steady.

Measured UVB

T5 lighting plus a UV meter to verify it. Every tube tested before it ships.

Just add the enclosure

Everything else is included, matched to your species.

Choose your kit

Two species. Two complete systems.

Each kit is matched to its animal and its enclosure, from UVB strength to basking heat. Pick yours and everything else is already decided, with your animal's needs in mind.

What's in the box

Built the way a keeper would build it

Every component earns its place by what it does for your animal. No coil bulbs, no unregulated heat, no guesswork.

Lighting

Linear T5 UVB

High-output Arcadia T5 tubes spread usable UVB across the basking zone, not just one hot spot, at the strength your species needs.

Heat

Overhead basking heat

Heat from above, the way reptiles bask in the wild: halogen for sun-loving dragons, deep-heat infrared for dawn-and-dusk geckos.

Control

Dimming thermostat

Every kit dims its heat lamp to hold a steady basking temperature instead of switching on and off.

Monitoring

Measure, don't guess

Thermo-hygrometers (three in the gecko kit), an infrared temp gun and a UV meter let you verify every zone before move-in and every week after.

Hides

Real thermoregulation

Warm and cool retreats let your animal choose its own temperature. Gecko kits add a humid hide with a built-in water basin.

Hygiene

Easy to keep clean

The dragon kit's non-adhesive liner shakes out or rinses clean. The gecko kit adds a reptile-safe disinfectant and leaves the floor up to you, from simple to bioactive.

Setup

From box to basking in an afternoon

  1. Choose your kit

    Leopard gecko or bearded dragon. Each kit is sized for a specific enclosure.

  2. Lay the foundation

    Cut the liner to fit (dragon kit) or add your substrate (gecko kit), then set the basking surface and hides on the warm and cool sides.

  3. Mount and wire

    Hang the UVB and dome over the basking spot. Run the heat through its dimming thermostat and set the UVB for 12–14 hours a day.

  4. Measure, then move in

    Check temperatures, humidity and UV with the included meters until every zone is in range.

Built by keepers, for keepers

Dragonstone started with a simple frustration: most starter kits are built around a price point, not around the animal. Keepers end up replacing coil bulbs, unregulated heat and loose substrate within months.

So we put together the setup we'd want on day one: built for life, and for your peace of mind.

Our story

FAQ

Good questions

Does the kit include an enclosure?

No. Kits are tankless: everything that goes in and on the enclosure, without the enclosure itself. That keeps shipping affordable and lets you use one you already own.

Which enclosure do I need?

Leopard Gecko Kit: a 40-gallon breeder terrarium (36" × 18" footprint). Bearded Dragon Kit: a 4' × 2' × 2' (120-gallon) enclosure with a mesh top.

Why overhead heat instead of a heat mat?

Overhead lamps warm reptiles from above, the way they heat up in the sun. Our dragon kit uses halogen and our gecko kit uses a deep-heat infrared lamp. Both run on a dimming thermostat that holds a steady temperature without switching on and off.

Is setup difficult?

No special tools are needed, and most keepers finish in under an hour. Our Setup Guide walks you through it with target temperatures for each species.

Give them a proper home

Pick the kit for your species and give it everything it needs to thrive, matched and ready to install.
