In was just wondering if anyone had tried stacking two Exo Terra 12" vivs one on top of the other ??

Are there any problems likely to occur ?


i.e. not enough air circulated on the bottom viv or temps toonhigh on them both due to hear rising intomthe top one and not being able to escape from the bottom one ??

Yeah I'll second that, glass is not a load bearing material. I thought you meant wooden vivarium, though you could build a wooden frame to support the weight.

Yeah , don't seem to have flat bottoms

Do you mean the glass terrariums with the mesh roof?

Yeah , heat mats.


Exo Terras do have a funny sort of base shape , though

Viv stacks are common, if your using heat mats for corns then it will be fine its only if your using bulbs/ceramics for heating it becomes slightly problematic though not impossible, air gaps and insulating usually overcomes any problems.
