I decided it was not enough work to warrant the DIY section I bought one of the new medium VivExotic plus cabinet. Although not easy to see it is worth mentioning that there is not a seperate top to the cabinet. It fastens directly to the base of the Viv. Here is the Viv minus the top. I decided to add a shelf that is about 20cm above the floor of the viv and 18cm deep. I bought a beech effect shelf from Wickes and cut it down to size. I have used 16mm trunking to tidy the wires (attached with a glue gun). I also replaced the cheep plastic handles provided with the cabinet.

The cork on the shelf and the branch were donated by a friend who used to keep snakes. Just need to move two hides and a snake. Oh and to put in the glass!

(Actually I added some ivy over the warm hide on the left as it looked exposed.) [IMG]http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg595/CharlesDarwin73/Rosie%202012-13/IMG_6297_zpsced17019.jpg[/IMG] Rosie loves her new cork hide on the shelf and can be seen keeping an eye on things through a small gap. [IMG]http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg595/CharlesDarwin73/Rosie%202012-13/IMG_6299_zps17820a33.jpg[/IMG] At the moment there is no bedding on the shelf as it would just be pushed off. I am considering adding some beading to give the shelf a lip. I could then add a shallow layer of bedding. Thank you for looking [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
