Very nice setup and gorgeous lil one, You have fitted your vents the wrong way around they supposed to go from the insdie out but not to worry as you have sealed it.  |

i was going to mention about the vents as they shoiuld be fitted from the inside but if you have sealed them they shouldnt get pushed out
Thanks Lee
Yes perhaps I should have thought about that! However, there is no moving them now - from either direction!!! |

That's not a bad size viv too.
I only did it because eventually if I can get good wood cheap enough, and glass and stuff regularly (this was just a one off chance to get a fish tank).....
I may try selling some, I am also looking into breeding Locusts and things, if enough people would buy them it would be well worth buying a big heated shed and stuff. |

Mine is a bit bigger, and made it out of laminate flooring, took an old fish tank apart for the sliding doors and made some sliders out of alloy.
Cost about £40 in total.
So definitely a competitve price and nice looking thing.
What size is it?
Hi
Its 36"x15"x16"
I like you resourcefulness! |

haha I dry my stuff out on the dish rack too! Although sometimes if I'm pressed for time I'll put them on top of the boiler to dry out quicker. |

Hiya,
Yes it was a flat pack from internet reptile - they are on ebay too, it cost me £55 no postage so was super pleased. One of the pieces of glass broke in transit and they sent me a new one FOC no problem. It was relatively easy to build, you may see my congratulatory can of carling in one of the pics!
I really enjoyed putting it together, just got to get some LEDs as its so dark in there we can't see him!
It is fairly solid but I have sealed the vents into place as they looked non snake proof to me!
Thanks for your nice comments.

That looks fab,looks like a happy little snakey curled up in his plant there
I too have 2 pretend tree boas
Might have to get one of these vivexotics for when my snakes are bigger. They look nice and solid and easy to put together.
