Vivariums are made of contiboard. The chipboard laminatepoopthat is the bones of cheap Swedish furniture.
So moving into my girlfriends flat which is in a Georgian townhouse in Bristol.
I couldn't in good faith dump a pine effect contiboard viv stack in the lounge as it would look awful and I have the issue that some of her friends and mother are phobic of snakes so.
The brief emerged: build a sideboard/ cabinet that incorporated a viv stack, provides extra storage and can hide the snakes for tea with her mum or dinner parties etc etc. oh and doesn't look out of place in the flat...
Having designed it out roughly on napkins and paperwork I got into the build...

Then having it assembled I broke it all down for paint and transport to the flat.
I think it looks good in situ...
It's got shelves for storage. Large top for the fish tank and hifi and the doors pop on and off magnetically so the snakes can be hidden at short notice.

Very nice, you could make those to order :-)
I'm starting to think I made a mistake by having a unit underneath my 2 vivs, if I hadn't , there would be so much more room for more vivs... hmmm, food for thought. |
