home made vivs....

could some-one tell me the dimensions of your home made vivs??

also...what the best way for the door??
i.e open up, down, half and half, sliding??

what wood are they made from?? specially the floor part??...as we know wood soaks smell.

i like orla's viv's....but i cant work out how the doors are attached....and locked??
plus if it was glass or not.

orla if ya reading this....please help....lol

Will measure mine for you tayer - dad made mine half and half with a batton down the front to make them secure - will check on the wood for you as well

thanx helen...x

Mine are 4ft by foot and half .. mine aren't sperated they are made like a huge bookcase .x

thanx lou....im thinking separate....and stacked....coz ill need to haul them up the attic...plus...the sloping roof..maybe a pain with more than 2 stacked on top of each other....dads too busy to build them......just phoned him now....parents are putting the house up for sale....so is trying to sort decorating it out.

found a man on e-bay who sells them....but they open from the top...so then i cant stack them....at £75 each.

im gonna phone gavs friend..now...

I reckon you are better off with stackables Tayer, and most definitely with front opening ones. Lou's look fab and the one's that Helen's Pops made for her are brilliant.

xoxox

Why don't you go for a standard viv with glass fronts - easy to put up - allen key fittings - can take them in the loft, build them and stack them - the Viv-Exotic vivs have vents in the back and you can pop the top three out to allow for good ventilation - you could have VX36 or VX48 - if you want the dimensions let me know x

gavs friend who was our best man said he would price it up for me...for him to make....he is a carpenter...and is single....so he should have plenty of time...lol

but i will let you know...they dont call him slug for nothing....lol
how much are those vivs?? ill need at least 3??

Will pm you tayer

ok dokies.......x

Sent to you chuckle bunny xx

I have stacked ones upstairs got them from Helen .x

Tayer seapets have the vivexotics for £56 for the 4 ft ones. A very good price as they 75 on amazon

that is good .. it would probably cost you more to make them then buy these ones .. Tayer .x

that is a good price.

how deep are the vivs?? 1.5ft also??

This is the size tayer

This Vivarium measures L 122 x D 37.5 x H 40.5 cm.

I have this one nd it's great fits larrys wheels in and has plenty floor space. It's also free delivery:)

I might have to buy them from Seapets - cheaper than what I get them trade - supposedly xx

Never that's good...just spoke to dean and he a little gutted, but the glass or Perspex would bump the price up too much!! He really fancied doing it!!

They are the LX range of vivs not the VX - they are designed for reptiles that need less height space

Size Differences are as follows

LX 48 - 122L x 37.5D x 40.5H in cms - with four vents
VX48 - 122L x 47D x 52.5 H in cms - with five vents

I've got the lx48 nd find it very good, plenty of room, fits larrys wheels in and you can't go wrong for the price:)

totally understand Leanne - but these on-line shops are putting all the smaller shops out of business as they are supposed to sell at the RRP which is 104.49

i've got the vx48 and they are great, loads of room and as helen said pop out the top vents for extra ventilation. i also leave the doors open a little bit x really easy to put together too x

Does anyone know where you can get a viv that opens at the front readymade?
