Default Best colour for vivs?
As i atrying to near the building of my vivs, what colours do you reckon are the best to use ..

When i had all my iguanas and boscs in the past i used white...

this had plus and minus sides... easier to see dirt which meant i worked harder to keep it clean.
I have noticed that none of the ones you buy are in this colour.

Anyone got any thoughts on this?

so you reckon its down to personal prefernce?

Does any colour have an advantage over any other? Such a black abosrning heat or white reflecting it?

ANYTHING but white, unless you like cheap and nasty looking setups

HATE seeing peoples personal collections and they have white setups, wood effect is always SO much nicer

valid point.

When i had mine white in the past it was mainly due to the sheer volume of iguanas i had to cater for.

Had 4 big males given to me and had to house them all seperately and quickly. So at the time this was the cheapest option.

Now i am taking my time and only having 3 vivs...so want to do it more pleasing to the eye.

best colour would pretty much be what fits in with the decor. No point buying the best wood and staining it antique oak if the rest of your room is mahogany.
