would a cx36 cabinet be strong enough to hold 2 vx36s? the 2 vx36s stacked on top of each other ofcourse.

cheers

yeah i wont, how many would you say is safe to stack?

Any of the vivs stack :s I just wouldnt stack more than one viv on a cabinate, they cabinates aren't designed for stacking, all the vivs however are.

planning to stack 3/4 .. they also sell them in stacks of 3..

I've no idea why, just what they told me when I asked them. I've only had one VX, and it did seem really strong to me too. I hadn't noticed they had them stacked on their site SB, shame it would have been great to hear what they had to say if I brought it to their attention

weird, my vxs are strong as hell, i thought it was the lxs that were weak

That's a bit odd Hissy - why do they have photos of vivstacks on their own webpage using VX's then??!!

(Not saying I don't believe you, just that that's how they portray them themselves)

I had planned to do the same, but changed my mind after contacting Vivexotic! They don't recommend stacking the VX at all, and told me the cabinet wouldn't be strong enough to hold 2 vivs. They said the LX range can be stacked 4 high though I ended up having a stack made in the end.

i already have the 2 vivs and the cabinet, was just wondering but have decided to do exactly that mick.. as soon as i fill the 4ft and get my boa and a bosc ;)

Why bother with a cabinet, get 6 Vivexotic legs and have a stack of 4 plus you can have more snakes

Am getting a 2nd vx viv this week and have decided to do away with the cabinet as i dont trust the stability of it. Have already made a solid base. (Got a friend that works at a flat pack factory). The base is slightly bigger and can take my weight so at some point could even have a 3rd.

ud have to be carefull that the base of the bottom one doesnt start to curve. the cabinet for the vx36 isnt a cabinet as such. the sides of the cabinet locate with dowels in the bottom of the viv, so the cabinet doesnt have a top as such. can be seen in this link.
