I know this might sound a tad off beat but have you thought of building some your self? I am the world`s worst carpenter but have managed a few decent vivs. All you need bar the glass is available at B&Q. They will even cut the Melamine to size for you if you have your measurements sorted. Then all you need to do is screw it all together and buy some runners and add ventilation. Great way to get yourself a cheap fitted viv. Wink

You can use plexi glass which is also sold a B&Q, however it does eventually get scratched up over time.

Try looking through the classifieds or even charity shops for old wardrobes, chest of draws, Tv/video units and modify one into a vivarium. This way most of the work is already done , you just need to add ventilation and some sliding doors.

I had the same problem with 10 vivs, 7 weeks late they were, missing things.

The main man had left the country, leaving his brother is law to pick up the pieces.

They only arrived after we began legal action.

I highly advise everyone to stay away from these guys.
