Well I bought a load of contiboard today, and started some cutting before my history gcse this afternoon (I now never have history again ).

After 3 attempts I managed to accurately cut the 3 main side panels for my stack and am going to put them together tomorrow. Once finished it will provide 4 vivs each with 3sqft of floor space and 1ft high.

Will post some pics tomorrow once the exterior unit is together

Id personally use perspex, less prone to cracking easily if knocked much much cheaper and safer for the snake if it does get damaged.

so yeah a lot cheaper lol im looking into it now ive got a unit in my front room that currently houses a few dvds but would make great vivs got a price 4 the glass id need (theres a glass shop 2 doors away from me) works out with runners n vents etc will cost just under £50 for 2 vivs

History and geography were a breeze for me.

Well its far from perfect, but here it is with the shelves in, runners and vents should come early next week then I just need to get the plastic for the front and get some stuff to go in them.

I have my last geography exam tomorrow XD

Heres a few pics of where it will go and with the top and bottom on. The edges will be covered with conti tape once its finished. Just gotta get the heatcable and door stuff at the weekend and can finish it off.

looks good. cannot wait to see the fifshed product

Yeah it is, lol. Only two exams left now though, and im working on friday so I should be able to afford the perspex for the doors as well as handles runners and vents and get them all over the weekend XD.

Then I just have to get the two snakes to go in the 2 spare vivs 8-)
