will you actually be using it as a table? as in putting things on it? or just for decoration. Maybe you could cover 1 side (like, say, the one facing the tv) so when you sit on your sofa for example you can still see your snake.
I would still be worried even with just the 2 of you. snakes just arent happy with 4 glass walls. |

i like the idea of a coffee table viv but personally i couldnt have one.. I'd be too worried that the constant traffic around it in the evening would upset the snake and stress him/her out..
but would love to see how it looks when completed 
I was thinking that, especially with all the sides AND the top being glass...
hope it will be well-packed out.
Agree with concerns of HannahB and SB. Is coffee table going to be in middle of room or in corner? xxx

well the glass sides only came up to 27 quid for toughened glass and the top piece about 7 quid |

Or stick a rug over the cable if your as useless with electrics as me 
There was a company at the Donny show that build coffee table vivs, wall and corner vivs and pretty much anything custom made you want. |

Another question....means viv will be glass on all sides, is that ok or will snake feel too exposed?? Love the idea, by the way. xxx |

yes a socket in the floor would be best its what we intended to do when we move but untill then an extension lead will do for now |
