As the title suggests, I am looking to build a 7x2x2 viv, since this is a bit larger than your standard viv, is there anything I need to do to reinforce it? Or should I construct a frame from 2x4, and build around that? Please reply as if I were a simple person, the last viv I built fell apart when I rested my coffee on it, so I'm not the most versed at DIY terminology.

I made my 6x3x3 viv via a 2x2 framework, but made mine into sections that came apart, ie side was one panel etc, inside the framework I put polystyrene sheets, and coverd both sides with marine ply.

If I can help mate and ya wanna chat PM me your number and I'll talk u through what I did, would take waay to long to type!

I purchased the vivarium in the picture about 2 months ago and so far its had three vivs on top all with sand in them so a lot of weights, the design works really well and i like the idea of two doors easier for feeding etc.

Nice vivs Tom..I also like the idea of the two sets of doors..come in handy if you ever decided to put a divider in.

Will get pics of the room later if camera will work got 4 of them as a base for the rest of the vivs on that wall. Look nice i think they've also all got lighting in now as the pics from when i first got them.

Stu once I've sorted the collection out and got new bits and pieces you'll have to pop up and get some snaps if your up for it

That would be good Tom..any excuse to get the camera out..
