Cheers for all the comments guys!! The LED's I allready had at home, I just used a soldering iron to make the circuit up and then connected a transformer plug so it ran from a mains socket...
As for the cost, I reakon for just the vivarium about 200-250... But that includes all the lighting which was very expensive!!

one word...sexual!

that is absolutely stunning! a work of art none the less!

loving the ssshh tyrone asleep..did u make that aswell???

i bet the 700 dubias weren't cheap either lol.

i made a fake rock build and it was very time consuming, nothing to what id say yours took lol!!!

when i decide to build another in the future i will definately (if you dont mind) be using ur viv and some other very good ones on here as a starting base to commence the final house for lex!!

Very nice build, hope mine turns out as good as this. Just one question regarding your lighting. I have been looking intousing an MVB in my build but they are very expensive. Do you know how often they need to be replaced?

Hi mate,

I take my hat off mate, this can't be your first build, your understanding of the lighting and temps is spot on, right down to the use of a 2% tube for uva. And am I right in saying that there is a thermometer in the roach box. If so

By the way 30~32c is good, but I bet you already know that.

Yer the MVB cost me £50 but only needs replacing every 1-1.5 years so it really costs no more than the tube alternative...
It is my first ever attempt at this and my first reptile too! Very chuffed! For the roaches I have them sat on a heatmatt on one end on a matt stat set to 32. The thermometer is for my peice of mind really to check that nothing is broken! Haha
