Yeah right! I think you mean so a new snakey can go into his outgrown faun 
I had trouble with the locks on both my vivexotic and new viv stack. I use Baldy's sucker wedge lock, and would give the clip lock a try if my eye sight was up to seeing it in the pic  |

Hissy, your eyes must be really bad if they are worse than my old blearies.
I've noticed that there can be a very slight sag with the VivExotic LX36 when they are stacked. This puts a tiny bit of twist on the runners and can close up the gap between the doors. I had to put in a bracing pole to lift the top panel a smidge to get the doors out for cleaning.
I have 2 x LX36 stacked on top of a custom 24" viv. This is just enough to slightly bow the base panel of the middle LX. I can live with it but anyone having problems can try wedging a tight fitting length of broom handle at the mid-point just behind the door overlap.

Thanks for that, it'd make good snakey climbing frame |

| I'm going to put a couple of small loop-eyed screws into it and use it to attach some climbing bits. At the moment I have to dismantle the logs to get the large water dish out ... and I can never get them back in the same way. lol |

Yes, they're not great lol. I almost put a large hole in the glass of the viv putting the water drinker back, thought it was open but no and heard a large bang as the bowl hit the glass  |
