I don't think they're available in the UK yet / if they'll ever be.

Don't quote me on it, but I don't think they're being released into the UK market. There was a post on here asking the same question a while ago and one of the posters had contacted the company directly and I think their response was something along the lines of "the UK market isn't big enough for us to justify releasing it in the UK".

I'm pretty sure you could pick them up in Hamm but obviously you'd need a pretty big vehicle to get one back.

I guess if enough people email them then they may reconsider releasing them in the UK.

I'm sure you could ship it to the UK. You should just speak to a US based supplier, perhaps speak with UPS or FEDEX and get some pricing.

I'll be very interested to see how you go with this, I've been looking to get one of these larger vivs for a while but havnt really done any research.

The shipping costs would be massive. A viv is basically a big empty box so its extremely cost inefficient to ship them (postage etc). Add to that the weight of the exo terra's which in this instance has got to be a fair few KG's for the new large model and I reckon the cost of shipment would easily be more than the cost of the viv itself.
