Is it my old blearies or is the top viv actually shorter than the bottom one?

My eyes are gone! Now they look as if they are levitating.

Sorry for the confusing post, these 2 are lx36 vivs which are 915 x 375 x 405mm high and are for my corns and I bought a vx48 at the same time for my JCP.

http://www.vivexotic.co.uk/products.html

Auld it is just the way I threw them on the table they are the same size (and not levitating) just not positioned carefully. Just put there for the sealant to dry and should be out of the way of small peoples fingers

Not sure exactly as I got it from a shop and it was advertised as CB11 and I have asked them twice to find out the month of birth but they never got back to me on either occasion. I measured her last shed (about 5 weeks ago) and it was 3' and she was weighed 3 weeks ago at 121 grams. She shed again last night so there may be a few cheeky pics later if she comes out her hide.

U may find eventually that's not big enough as in height wise, they do recommend 4/2/2 minimum. Bumble is is a 4/2/2 an I'm currantly having to contemplate going higher as he's constantly trying to get higher. Although I do intehd to cheat slightly if I do decide too.

I am not expecting it to be a home for life for her but it will do her for a couple of years hopefully by which time we should of moved house and then I can plan out exactly what I am going to do for her. Not sure if I will go for a AX48 or maybe make something, will just have to see when we get a bigger house and what suits. I plan to put Sid in the vx48 when he is older as he should grow a bit bigger than a corn being a hybrid and he is so inquisitive I am sure he will love lots of room

How are you going to "cheat" space for bumble?

Thanks Donnie, so I'm not as doowally as I thought. It still looks like an M.C. Echer fabrication.

Chris is going to fit a ceiling mirror to confuse poor Bumble.

Well you see its like this haha......... bumble already has a 4/2/2 so yes ax48 would be a good idea but there over 200 wonga an then I'd have to swop everything over heating an lighting wise.......
Heres my idea an ex48 I can pick up for under 100, is exactly the same width as mine an only 10mm deeper so one will sit on the other quiet well then once fixed together an after a play with a jigsaw to ummm make a large hole....... vola a 4ft wide 4ft tall 2ft deep home. :-)

Viv No. 2 now as good as finished. Just need to find a nice log from somewhere.



All three together



That's me done building for a while, got to build the vx48 but no rush for that.
