Not sure she is big enough to be in it yet. Last weighed in at 35g so still on the small side....although she is roughly 2ft.

When did you all make the move from faun to viv?

Can't wait to get her in there, but very worried about escapes!

Congrats! :-)

I left Bazil's faun in the viv ( without the top ), but she ignored it, and never went back in, so I took it out couple of days later. As long as she had her favourite hide, she was happy.

Oooh I'm a yearling haha!

I was thinking about leaving the faun, open, inside the viv for a while and let her come out in her own time (she's already in faun inside viv - protection from the nutty cats lol)

I think I'll do that when I decide to move her up. Of course you'll all get pics when it happens probs in a month or 2

I moved both of mine when they were around 100g. Baz went straight from the XL faun to a 4 ft Viv, though with lots of cover, hides new and old, and the faun itself ( for a couple of days ).

Little T went through series of tubs, to XL faun, to 2 ft Monkfield Viv, to 4 ft Viv.

Newbie Seb went from faun straight to 3 ft Viv, and loving it. He's around 165g.

I think, as long as you have lots of hides and cover, and block the gap between the glass panes, you should be ok. Seb is quite slim, and is having a good go at the gap between the glass every now and then, and it's scary, how much of his head he can wedge in! Might have to opt for the paper binder, too.

Well I've just ordered £50 worth of stuff for the vivs haha, more coverage than i'd thought! And already got quite a bit, so I think I'll grab a paper binder at the weekend and get it ready for her, move her in in the next month or so

Exciting!

I changed over when i felt she had outgrown her faun, but plenty cover and will be fine, if worried about escape, use paper binders or cardboard inbetween glass.
