Has anyone got a Viv Exotic Vivarium?

I asked about the 888 ones a while back and a few people suggested Viv Exotics.

These seem really cheap compared to others; the one I was going to get was £105 from my local reptile shop.

What do people think of this one?

Are they well made and do they look good?

Thanks

Gaz

Yeah, I think it's a really good-looking viv. I'd go with 88 too, if you've used them before and trust them.

I recently purchased 3 of these vivexotic viv's, very happy with them easy to put together and also have solid backs with cable cutouts so no messing about making hole's ect.

Looks like the viv I've got aswell, though never got from 888. Only problem I found was the glass never had handles for sliding open and shut. Bit oh glue and few wee handles from the local shop for a fiver and it is sorted. Nice viv cant complain.

I have a viv exotic, and its really lovely, easy assembly and a good amount of floor space. I don't get my stuff from 888 though, so couldnt tell you what they are like.

Nice looking Vivs and I am sure they would look great when set up.
I have used 888 to buy from and they are a friendly bunch who will spend time with you to talk about the care of your reptile and not just after a quick sale. Also free delivery over £45.00 if I remember correctly.

Thanks people.

For those who have got Viv Exotic's...

Is there a gap between the glass doors? I have noticed that some of them have got a gap which has to be blocked off with cardboard etc to prevent snakey escaping?

And do the standard door locks fit on them okay?

Thanks

Gaz

My viv doesn't have a gap between the doors, but saying that my other 2 dont either.

Also, none of mine have locks.

I have 7 Vivexotics, love them and no, I have never had to block a gap off, they are quite tight fitting doors.

I get mine from ebay.

Yes, I have viv locks on, otherwise I'd probably find my 3 year old in there with them!

This is the guy on ebay I've bought all mine through, good prices and never had any issues with him:

Hi Gaz,
I've just bought this exact same viv, managed to put it all together myself. I also ordered these:

And I also ordered some of the aquarium sealant to make the bottom of the viv watertight.
