Default White melamine

Hi all am about to start building vivs for my reps as some are getting too big for their tubs.
Have noticed that white melamine is a damn sight cheaper than black or beech but am worried the starkness might unnerve my animals your opinions would be welcome.

Cheers G

I've seen a few people with pics of white Vivs - I think it's more of an owner thing - most people like a green inside viv or wood effect.

Guess it might startle some species - I'm not that experienced in that regard.

they don't seem to bother although you can use a wallpaper or tile the back

Default viv

Hi, I Use High Grade External Ply, Does Not Need To Be Treated,but Can Be Treated With Water Based Wood Stain Of Your Choice. Then Sealed With Aquatic Sealant, They Look Great And Is Cheaper To Buy Than Malemine. You Can Make A Few Vivs Out Of One Sheet Of 8 X 4 1/2 Inch
