Default first viv

hi all i recently decided to get 2 leo's and after alot of research and thinking we decided to build our own viv rather than buy on as we could have it as we wanted it as its in our front room we wanted a nice piece of furniture aswell a nice home for our leo's so anyway i started today and its not as hard as first thought just got to get the glass ordered now and then can get everything else in before we pick up the leo's on sunday
if theres anything anyone thinks can improve or needs to be done id appreciate all comments
thanks

Looking good, you are obviously pretty handy with a saw

Dont see any holes for vents are they going in next? Will be nice to see pics when its all finished. I am sure the geckos will enjoy their posh high rise apartment!

The vents can be put directly on the back, it's usually easier if using the 70mm vents. You will need a hole saw with the file being obviosuly 70mm.

I would put in a minimum of 4. Two at the top, and two at the bottom. So like a square in thoery.
