Was just browsing on Surrey Pet Supplies and found a 3ft viv vivarium for just over £40... Everywhere near me are selling them for around £60-£100 so it just makes me wonder if its not a good quality brand or something?
Anyway, heres the link to the vivarium, let me know what you think and if you think it will be suitable for my royal, Kaa :)
Thank you!

Yes - 2 of my royals are in lx36 vivs and they're fine, although the lads seem to prefer 48' - and Swellreptiles are very good.
I've only got one reservation about vivexotic flatpacks and that is that the window fittings can be flimsy. You have to wiggle the tracking about to accommodate the panes of glass - and even then you can find it loosening. A boa might be a bit too strong for this arrangement (mods let me know if its not ok to say this by the way.)
However you might be able to add extra stability to the tracking with aquarium sealant when assembling, but it's a point to think about. |

That is a super viv Richard, do you have the height?
I want to move him soon as I can because he loves to perch on Steve's hand..twined between fingers and he simply hates being returned to his faun. |

Hi janie,
Yes the height is 2ft (24 inches) width 2ft (24inches)
And length 6ft ( 72inches) I'm not sure if you can
see but I had a little hide box made which is 2ft long
The arch way into it is 5inches so big enough for
my girl to get through once she has eaten. It also has a lid so you can
get her out.
