OK the viv stack I built is ready for a arboreal extension. I've drawn up the plans and due to the size it needs to be detachable from the viv stack should I move. Anyway I'm giving it a few months to just decide the finer details etc but I have uploaded a quick sneak peek of what I'm thinking. The Cresties (plural, Harley will be getting a girlfriend, decided I want to breed these) will be in one of the arboreal vivariums and the other one is for my fantasy snake, I will have a set up ready for a Green Tree Python sitting ready and waiting for one to come up. Anyway this is the sketch, the bottom bit is already a reality so the top bit shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

| I used glue yeah, I used a non toxic flexible super glue. It worked really well and seems to keep the runners quiet and I think with the weight of the glass a small amount of flex is required. I will find the tub and let you know which one I used. |

| never thought about a flexible super glue. i was thinking of using a contact glue but would be tricky using it on a small surface area and its a bugger to clean any over spill off |

| I bought it from a glazier. They were very good, all edges were rounded off and been 6mm toughened glass was remarkably cheap. Best thing to do is yell.com it and ring round. |
