Default Acrylic Vivariums

Does anyone know anyone making good Acrylic vivariums... there is some cool stuff on the market in the US but not really able to find much here in the UK.

Cheers

Thats weird I was talking about this yesterday with someone. Ive pinched the picture but some guy called .. Adam Bissett makes these

Or our dear very own Gaz made these for himself and apparently they arent all that hard to make. (better with the drawer in the bottom as was pointed out to me )

Tops, you pinched that pick off me. The royalties are in the post, I assume!

Yes they are made by Adam Bisset and work very well for my chondros. I've also been told that they'd be pretty useful for keeping dart frogs too!

That design by Gaz looks very niced too, although I'm not sure how they are to be heated. But I suppose one of the main advantages of acrylic is that it can be drilled so if need be you could add a ceramic etc

cheers

But of course I hijacked it from your post in that other thread!
