bear in mind they are still not completed yet... they need more greens etc on the inside and they will be filled and painted to match the room...



royal... top left



and some others... not quite finished







all four together...





this is only the left stack as i have not taken photos of the other side yet.....

it is just over 8' high, 3.5' wide and 2' deep.
the bottom viv is 2' high and the other 3 are about 18".....

Well, i am a carpenter/joiner so its kinda easy for me.....
we got all the vents and light fittings from homebase/b&q and i built them using sheet materials at the college i teach in....

all the vivs are completely lined with lino too with backing pics. i got all the glass really cheap through a friend. 16 bits for £60....

all the electrics are at the base of the units and they will be wired to a switch on the side at some point.... some of the logs we have were bought as parrot branches which screw into the sides, from pets at home and we got really lucky with lots of bogwood from a little pet shop near us... 8 large bits for £14...


we also found that ESK sell vines and cheaper greens (silk plants).

overall cost to us has been alot cheaper than having them made by someone else... probably about a third or less...

it is definately glass... perspex scratches too easily when cleaning.

you can see in the top... just not as easily...lol
the snakes in the top vivs get more privercy during the day and they only come out at night anyway....

i'm sure someone could draw something up for you... the only reason ours turned out so big was because we needed the space at the bottom for the electrics, as they are fixed to the wall behind them, and there are 2" spaces between every viv to eliminate heat transfer.....

if you have the 6x2x2 on the botton, you will need a support in the middle.
maybe put that one at the top ???

if you do have that at the bottom, i would have the 2 3x2x2 in the middle and the other two on top. that would look really nice...
