hmmm looks interesting. you may have a few problems using it as a viv. first of all it has no ventilation, but thats easily solved.

but the main problem is that the bottom of the doors and the base of the viv will be the same height, meaning that the esubstrate would have to be newspaper or paper towels, as it would keep falling out other wise.

Can you not build your own? for one that simple it would cost you less than half that price and you could include your own vents. After all, BYA (Build ya own) must be easier than, make it up as you go along (build ya own Ikea)?

I know it is fun to search places to find 'normal' furniture and adapt it for your reptile use.

I do think though, with a quick search on e-bay you will find a good size purpose built viv for the same money. No mucking about to making it work as it already does.

I was bidding on one the other day which was 5' long 2' deep and 3' high. It had house'd a boa and came with all the set up. It only sold for £175. (I missed it as I forgot it was ending). The size you are looking to make with these two would be about as cheap on e-bay. Just have to send someone to collect it. Or only buy close to home.
