Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2007 2:19 pm Post subject: Where to get good vivs |
|
|
Hi all as it's payday today I decided I'd better buy my Hogg Island boa a new viv before I find something utterly useless to spend my dosh on. I need something along the size of 48(l)x15(h)x18(d) I think but am unsure where I might get one. My local rep shop (rintouls in Bathgate) doesn't do custom size vivs so I think I might need to get one from the web. I see livefoods have one for sale that looks OK but am unsure what wooden vivs are good and was hoping folks could advise. Thanks in advance

my local reptile shop, makes exceedingly good vivs, which are all designed by the owner, and they can make any size you want, it is ameyzoo in hertfordshire, however i noticed you are in scotland, i am afraid i do not know if they deliver.
i have a 48 x 18 x 18 viv for 2 of my corns, which i got from them. it is wooden, large ventilation at the back, glass sliding doors, etc. _________________ Tom

Nope sadly local rep shops anywhere outside of central Scotland aren't much good to me.  |

I never said there was one I asked what ones were good given a few places online sell them to deliver.
And building one myself is deffo not an option.
Was just hoping for opinions of people that have bought wooden flat packs off the web so I can get one from the best available supplier. |

Yes it'll also probably mean that my house will be burned to the ground, I'll accidentally nail myself to the floor etc etc. Believe me I'm a 22 year old female who's experience with wood work doesn't stretch as far as making a pencil case in 1st year at high school.  |
