I am looking for a two floor viv to give Diego more traveling space, linked by a branch, cool on top with water and hide, plants etc on bottom. Does anybody know if I can buy one?

Cheers

Never seen any in shops. But you could definitely build one. You should take a look at Ikea products they are adaptable and easy to build vivarium's from. Cheaper too as you can get glass there.

If not you could consider buying two vivarium's and stack them on top of each other then use soil pipe connections to connect them together.

I'm not any good at DIY, but maybe I could put 2 vivas on top of each other and get some one to link them, like the idea of the soil pipe.
Thanks for your reply

You could maybe even do an external pipe like on a hamster plastic cage? Would be cool to see the snake going between

I recently made a viv stack into a one snake habitat.It was a double stack and I made a hole in the middle for the snake to access both areas. The stack had a heat mat and thermostat on each level. but I've since unplugged the mat/stat on the top level, and have this as his 'cool floor' with one large hide, water bowl and thermometers. The bottom floor has his heat mat & stat, digital thermometers, water bowl, large hide and exo terra vine that he uses to access both levels. I'll try to add pics for you to see. it's working out really well, and he goes from each level with no problems

Thanks both. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, although cutting the hole was a real nightmare!
Scary, I bought the large piece of mopani wood from Seapets, and paid about £20 for it

Thank you. The Dark Lord likes it so that's the most important thing (he might strike me dead otherwise )

If you wish to avoid DIY buy an arboreal viv with have extra hight and fit a shelf near the top.
