| I have a custom made one, it's horrible to move and stupidly heavy i'd recommend getting ones you can seperate |

Hi - mine (3' vivexotic lx) were £48.50 each, as I recall - and they might have been a bit cheaper from our old friends Surrey Pet Supplies. VERY easy to put together. So...that's £150 or less for the three vivs.
If you want a cabinet beneath (DOES make life easier, bending down to floor level vivs is a bit fiddly) I can recommend the beech TV cabinets from Argos, 1m wide, £40 each ...erm, bit fiddlier than vivs to assemble imo, but you've got Sarah to help lol.
This is Ziska's 5' viv on top of 2 tv cabinets, Shiloh and Missy atop Ziska, nothing's collapsed yet - touch wood!

Oh, and please disregard the nasty thermometer strip on Missy's viv ...that was the first viv I ever bought, and didn't know any better ...
I really am pleased with the flatpack vivs - everything just bolted together and as soon as I learned the knack with the window tracking - cool!
ps I'm basing price on 3' vivs - couldn't see measurements on your plan, but the 4' vivexotics are pretty reasonable too. I think delivery would be £5 approx. |

| Hehe , we just can't decide whether to do it singularly or just stack them . Was gonna see if I got the custom made one to have wheels too so we can move it round . I'm quite proud of my paint shop viv picture haha ! |

Erm, what's an X box?
Hey, then you could get a tv cabinet with castors to go underneath. The plan is cool by the way, and you could get the wood cut to measure at B&Q - I think Sandi and Lotabob are knowledgeable about this.
ps that isn't an escapee next to the green F10 spray, it's just Woody the chinese jointed snake! |
