Default I got bored...

...and decided to do a new viv for the collared and use his for the geckos.

No doubt he won't move in till summer when the fumes have gone!

48*18*18 beech melamine with a hardboard backing covered with a fake wall. The bottom piece for the glass runner is slightly darker as i'm not very clever and thought the stack was in beech and i had some left over but it isn't beech.







The white is the PVA which is still drying. Always find that painting with PVA gives it a harder surface as the varnish chips off the grout, although its possible i didn't leave the grout long enough.

The shelves are off a corner unit i dismantled so decided to make the most of it. I might fit the starter for the UV inside it at the opposite end from the basking light. Few reports of them melting but as its at the opposite end it shouldn't get too warm, although i've not decided on that yet i'm just thinking it'll be easier than cutting lumps out for the UV ends.

Runners should be here soon and i can get the glass once i've got them in place.
