Default Afew questions, help needed!

OK, so we were going to build a stack, 6x2x2 at the bottom, 2 3x2x2 in the middle, a 4x2x2 and a 2x2x2 at the top.

Was thinking, is it ok to stack seperate vivs on top of each other if we put supports up the back? Rather than having one big stack?

Also, my OH has decided we are going to B&Q on saturday to get some wood to build a viv. Can anyone please help as to what size we need to get the wood cut to for a 3x2x2 and also a 2x2x2? A plan aswell would be really useful.

Wasn't planning on starting building vivs until next year so thouhgt I had plenty of time to draw up plans and get the sizes sorted!

Thanks,
Ashley

Id put the 6 foot on the top, because if you put in on the bottom, the weight of the others on top could smash the glass.

Just shout up if you need any help or information.


Cheers,
Mark.

Ok, thanks, never really thought about that. Always thought the big one should go on the bottom. I suppose there is more strength in the smaller ones though so they will be able to withstand an adult boa on top of them.

Would it be ok to put it on the bottom if it was reinforced in some way like if there were frame sort of things along it?

Anyone got any sizes for the vivs as getting wood cut on saturday probably? Please
