i use the same stuff as i do to seal it which is a silicon sealant but is more like a glass cement and it holds well but i get it from a local glass works and it wat they use when building custom fish tanks

Cheers guys. I'll take a wander around the diy stores and see what they've got. I used superglue with the gex viv but that was plastic to melamine whereas this is plastic to osb so the cement option sounds good. I'm looking to put a contiboard fascia on the front so that it matches the two 3ft viv that are going on top. Maybe if I cut that level with the top of the runners, so that they sit behind it, it will strengthen it a bit.

Thanks, I love them. There a big lizard but still a easily handlable size. I'm only small so if I can handle them anyone can lol.

I was going to get a pair of peach throat but not now. Trying to reply to ads over a year old is never a good idea lol
