I thought I'd share a pic of the viv I made, I also made the cupboard underneath but haven't fitted the doors yet so didn't include that too much.



Please ignore the tape holding the cables, it's only a temporary measure. I bought the small pieces of wood today from Dunelm Mill for £1.99 each, it's mopani wood so ok to use. These would cost a small fortune in a reptile shop I'm sure.

Wow that is very nice indeed!

Going to be building viv stack myself soon, but lacking transport/muscle and after costing out materials have decided to go for flatpack after all.

I found big chunks of mopani for £5 each in petsathome but Dunelm is definitely better value on the whole.

Blue Lizard aren't bad either, for substrate, fittings etc.

Congrats - really looks good!

Cheers guys, really chuffed with it. I hope it lasts as long as a shop bought one.
