Can I have your opinion on this viv?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hagen-Vivexotic-Repti-Stax-Vivarium-Medium/dp/B0035V1596/ref=sr_1_6?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1360188919&sr=1-6

Cornflake is currently in an exoterra which is 18 inches x 18 inches floor space.

Will the viv above last cornflake a while (she's 140g currently)?
Any feedback on this particular make etc?
Any advice before I buy really?

Thanks

The title on that adver is a bit off, lx36 was the old model and the one in the picture is the new model which can be found cheaper

Also have a look at Surrey pet supplies as they are usually pretty cheap as well

That size should be a forever home unless cornflake gets huge and vivexotic is a good brand

The three I usually try for any kit I need are
Swell reptiles
Surrey pet supplies
Wild world reptiles

There may be cheaper than these but I am not sure who it would be. Happy shopping

Viv Exotic are a good make.
A 3ft should last a long time. It depends how active the snake is. If you have a fairly placid snake who isn't too active it should last for life!
Try Blue Lizard too, they're usually good value.
Happy hunting....

We got a 3ft for Corno, but she was growing so quickly that when it was Ember's turn to move up we moved Corno into a 4ft - she really appreciates the space... spends all her time curled up in one hide or the other rofl!!! Still glad we got the 4ft though as I think she will end up a good size and I know she does move about when we are not watching - I'm sure Ember will always be small though so will not need to move out of her 3ft :)

Edit: I forgot to say, don't forget Seapets when looking for vivs as well. I really like Swell's next day delivery if you order before 2pm though, so bear that in mind if you'd like it to arrive on a specific day when you know you'll be in and there's not a big price difference...
