Hi everyone just finished setting up my new Vivs.So thought I would post some pictures from start to finish. Pic heavy sorry!
First thing was to get draw unit into place.
Then it was time to fix lights into place which are 2.0 Exo Tera.
After this I put the heat matts into place with Micro climate Thermostat.Because I did not want to see many wires I took the plugs of the heat matts so I could thread them through the holes I drilled and then fitted them back on.
As you can see from this photo I did the same for all Vivs.
Next Stage was to give them a good clean out and get rid of the dust.After this I cut the wood that I had treated and put Aspen bedding in and decorate the Vivs.
Hope you all like the new setup as much as the Corns do |

Thanks the lights don't need any guards on them because they hardly give off any heat like bulbs or Ceramics do.
The bulbs still need some form of guard to keep the snake off them. Snakes squeeze things for grip, if they squeeze hard enough they will break the bulb and you'll be picking glass out of your snakes.
However unlikely it is that they will do it, snakes are notorious for surprising you by doing things they shouldn't.
Its a brilliant setup you have there, I really need some sort of low level cupboard or drawers so i'm very jealous. |

what size are they? id love something like that for our lot but got a feeling that another 2 on top of the 4 you have would be too high to be practical,
they look really nice though
Hi Hannah sizes are 2@ 60L x 24Dx 18H
With the dividers built in 4@ 30L x 24Dx 18H
You are right about the practicality another one on top would be to high. That's why my 60 x 24 x 42 for my Carpet Python will not fit
Thanks for the comments.

They look awesome! The heat-mats look very tiny in them though but I think that's the camera angle *_* I hope my viv's will look as good as them!
Thanks mate The heat matts are plenty big enough it is like you have said from the angle of picture. |

Thanks for the kind words everyone. As for the build of the Vivz they were not built by me. I just finished them off as you can see in pictures.They were made by Vollys Vivs who did a great job in making them. Link http://www.facebook.com/pages/wirral...1713870?ref=mf
Thanks Rich |
