Just wondering...has anyone used one of these before? I have been researching vivs and the possibility of stacking 3 of them together once Mim, Romeo and Rocco are ready to be moved into more permanent adult homes, or making my own 3 tier viv. I do like the look of these Hagen VivExotic ones but just wanted to know what other people thought? |

I have a vivexotic VX36 i think theyre great, when it arrived flat packed i did kinda freaks out as i own no tools but managed to get it put togather really easy with a pen knife! Theyre pretty easy to construct :) |

If u are getting a vivexotic, checkout seapets or swell reptiles - will probably be much cheaper ;) |

Thank you, does that mean the cable has to run down the side? Would a heat bulb be better with this Viv? |

With wooden vivs the mat goes inside played on bottom. |

I am about to buy one of these from Amazon (£61 inc) but I was wondering if there is a gap for a heat mat underneath and if not will the heat get through if placed under the viv? |

I wish I could have had Rubs but there's no way I could fit them into my bedroom stacked so had to get vivs, Rubs are far too wide once the get past 2ft long it seems D: Plus if I ever get bigger snake, I can use the vivs for them since Rubs don't seem to be too massive in length. Also means that one day I can get a beardy or bts one day or something ^^ |

No thats fine as a crawl cay ian't heavy bodied 
I'm not saying anything your going to do is wrong, I'm simply saying what I am going to do.
You do what you like |

Not just that, if the snake is heavy bodied it is best to use a heat lamp rather than a heat mat :D
Even my small boa, a crawl cay will be in a viv later as they like to climb and I want to give her lots of vines and logs etc |

I know it does Lou, you wouldn't keep a huge big boa in a rub, but i wont be getting huge big snakes lol |

Yup rubs are great but it does limit the size/type of snake you can get :( |

I think vivs are great provided you have enough space for them, had my home been bigger having vivs would not be a problem, so stacking rubs suits me perfect |

At the moment I have 2 corns in a partitioned 3ft viv and another corn in a 45 square ET. Shortly there will also be a BRB in a rub. Ultimately, I'll have 3x 3ft vivs for the corns and (most likely) a 4ft with moisture protection for the BRB. All from Vivexotic so they match. I should be moving at some point in the next 12 months so shouldn't get any more until I know how much room I have left! lol |

Don't think I will have any more than 3 snakes in my collection, though as someone told 3 is an odd number so better with 4 lol |
