Was wondering what people think of these http://rickyspethouses.weebly.com/vivarium-prices-and-info.html

Thought they look a little different but was wondering about the wood. Even when sealed would it be a problem to keep clean with the nooks and crannys?

Without actually seeing them hard to talk of build quality but 10mm wood doesn't sound very solid.

10mm wood us fairly solid the way he has it built. But would depend on the joint profile.

It does look like pine, and yes it would cause problems as snakes can even poo on the roof unless they are maybe sealed?

There not a good price, they are very expensive! Viv exotics are cheaper than that and come with a 2 year warranty if anything bad happens.



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3

I have a viv exotic already for one of the skinks and to be honest I am not very impressed with it which why I was looking at these. I am going to have a stack built to my specifications now, already have some that have been built by the same person, and they are rock solid everything a snug fit no gaps. They will built using conti board. Works out alot more expensive but you get what you pay for and I want them to last.
Actually having just sat and worked it out theres not a huge difference prive wise to viv exotic. Two double stacks each viv being 3ft x 18" x 15"high. In a choice of colours, 6mm toughened glass completely sealed for £290. Viv exotic VX's is not much cheaper with delievry added on and I would have to seal them myself.
