have now started work on jasmin's new 5x6x2 viv
got the wood cut at b&q just needed to trim it slightly as the old viv im using some of the wood from is not quite 5ft
frame work fitted to one end/side
some of it fitted together just to show the size
an new big branch to go in there drying in the airing cupboard, will find some more over the weekend
kept getting distracted while doing the viv by some idiot jumping around an clawing the glass wanting to come out an play
inspecting the wood for her new home
will update this with more pic's as i go along |

That looks great, good job. I want to build a three viv stack so priced up the wood the other day & it works out cheaper for me to buy one...wood here is so bloody expensive! Shame as like you i like to build my own. Got some plans for a nice Boa viv made of oak with cabinet but need to win the lottery first! |

have now got the viv pretty much finished just need to add some more branches tomorrow an get a new uv tube as one end broke off when i removed it from the starter.
came across a few design error's while putting it together but soon sorted them out, it look's a bit tatty on the outside but im not bothered long as the inside is fine for her
anyway some pic's
