Blue lizzard do them cheap, most people I know who got reptiles have gone away from the new vivexotic range. |

Stupid question,but did you use any wood glue? Also,where did you end up buying it from? |

Any of you guys that have the monkfield added extra vents or extra screws? I put mine together today and i thought they could have been secured a bit better especially being a 4ft viv. the bottom is only held on by 4 screws one in each corner and the top has 5 of those cam type fixings with some dowels and the back is 4 screws also and that's about it really couple of dowels either end on the plinths to me that doesn't seem enough as there is no support in the center |

I had a few that I believe are monkfield and they are still going strong. Even have one as a high humidity vivarium and not a problem at all. I've seen the vivexotics stuff and it reminds me of Argos furniture, cheap and short lived. |

didn't realise that the new runner board/vent's can be sharp.
i just dont like the design to be honest look's much better with wood on the front |

Yeah there's a couple things i don't like about them too, the sizes for one and the vents can be sharp which isn't good as they are within easy reach of all reptiles |

i have a couple of the old style vivexotic's no real problem's with them but not used any of the monkfield one's.
personally i wont buy one of the new vivexotic's as don't like the look of them |

They only have the new viva range in and the sizes are smaller than the old range :-( god knows why they would do that prices are similar too |

Don't know how these are for prices but I've ordered a exo terra glass terrarium and was quick delivery and was packaged very good
Plus it's free delivery over £34 :)

No they work out the same, i managed to find a vivexotic ex48 online for £109 but the delivery is £25 and the monkfields are £140 from pets at home the monkfield has more height too 4ft x 2ft x 2ft where as the ex48 is 4ft x 2ft x 18" |

I have a monkfield,Looks better made and more stronger looking/more fancy looking too.If any of that makes sense :P
You can tell the different,But its still a flat pack thing..its not perfect and has over hang etc.Where they haven't lined up all the sides perfect etc.
wood is thicker to on mine :) Guess its down to cost to.Is it alot more then the vivexotic one? |
