I'm being horribly silly and super awkward but i really want a nice black vivarium!
Please don't ask me to make my own lol
Anyone know where i can buy one...well 3 actually.... i know Wirral Vivz probably do but they aren't local and the delivery charge is huuuuge
Just think black would look super smart :) especially with all nice greenery and bit of nice lighting
Or i could just be normal and have a nice beech one i suppose!
But if anyone knows of anywhere i can get black wooden vivs that would be awesome :D |

Umm...I'd buy bog standard beech, as cheap as poss, then paint them black, and seal with polyurethane ...a faff, but probably the cheapest solution ...
There ARE black vivs ... Kelf got a custom made stack in black, but these things seem to come and go in vogue.
Hope you find something ...I agree, black is cool! |

see i would normally make or like you said paint my own but we don't have room to do these things, no garden or nice shed/garage for fun projects like this :( the only place that doesn't have silly carpet in is the kitchen and its really too narrow to try and make a viv in LOL and if i got paint anywhere our landlord might not be best pleased lol I'm horrifically messy unfortunately!!!
was thinking of buying the vinyl covering stuff but would cost loads for enough to cover 3 vivs! was looking at about £15 just to cover my RUB shelves so i left it! |

| I've got a black viv but it's not wood. It's one of the glass ones with the mesh panels. I've covered the mesh lid with paper and a towel but it's a nice looking home. I got it from the pet shop but I have seen them online somewhere. |

i know!
i found them on ebay and just googled their username... their ebay listing says they do custom sizes, these are only 15inches high and deep, and i'd like to be a little taller and deeper, like the VX36 (36x1.5x21), will send them a message and see how much that will be, in no rush so don't mind waiting :)
Been planning out the final vivs for everyone, it's going to cost an arm and a leg but will look awesome!!! |

i will :) i can't wait to get them, they said will be a couple weeks to turnaround, i'm in no rush anyway!
Forgot to say that price is for slightly bigger than the standard ones on their site - i went for 36x18x21 - similar size to the deep Vivexotic ones, but with the same size glass doors, just more wood at the bottom to fill the gap as it were, if that makes sense |

| i was getting very worried too, he was suddenly very quiet with his emails, then a woman (i'm guessing his wife as the address just brings up a house not a shop) came and saved the day. I payed on paypal though so i would have been protected if it turned out dodgy as it wasn't a gift payment or anything unprotected. I didn't mind the wait it was just the lack of communication.. it's not much to pick up the phone or reply to an email to give me a rough idea of things lol.. hopefully they will be worth the wait! |

hey, just had a barinwave. i cant remeber the exact website name, but it was boaphiles dot something. i stumbled accross it about 8 months ago, its an american company. they do custom stacks with all the heatmats and stats built in for pretty decent prices AND their black! or grey, whatever you preffer.
if you do go for one from these guys PLEASE let me know, really want to see how good they are from someone else other than their own site. |
