Thanks my friend, nothing wrong with Herptek, pro racks etc etc, its a persons own choice for their individual requirements.I just got sick of having vivs of various sizes,models, and materials.To be honest having everything the same encourages better husbandry, in cleaning and general tidying up. I feel i owed it to the animals,and the practical value far outweighed the cost. however finances have to be a major consideration, believe me i had to do without to see the project out. But now and again i do feel a sense of pride, and always consider myself very very lucky.Take your time in making your plans, you have a great collection with a knowledge that will be with you a long time.

Fantastic set up, i dream of having a full plastic setup in the future. The wooden viv's look good but i think long term plastic is the way to go.

Enjoy what you,ve got Lankyrob, its nice to dream, but not at the expense of thinking what someone else has is better.. everything comes in time

Oh i love what i got, as my vivs are in my living room the wood fits well. I think tho that in future the plastic vivs will age better and fit in with whatever our decor may be.

Glad to hear that your happy with your lot, plastic are perhaps easier to clean, wood perhaps holds in more heat, plastic are perhaps lighter in construction,wood perhaps more sturderly build, whatever is right for you at the right time

Hello mate, the womas and the blackheads get their heat requirements from heat mats outside the enclosures, the diamonds and centralians from heat plates(habistat reptile radiator) placed at one end of the ceilings, they also benefit (diamonds/centralians) from broad spectrum lighting

[presspirate]

Do you heat the room to the desired ambient temp then and use the heat sources mainly for basking? How big is the room? And also, do you have pics of your room prior to your current setup? Sorry for all of the questions, I like the pictures, but I also like details. I'd really like to see how your practices evolved over time. I think it helps those of us with less experience, and perhaps more than a little impatience to learn how to grow. Cheers Mate!

Thanks, the weight is one of the major points for me, i can baly move my current vivs cos of my back, should it deteriorate in the future there will be no hope of moving them. At present my father and father in law help when things need moving but they are both up in their sixties so wont be aroundz for ever.

Imwould hate to have to pass on my collection in the future because of not being able to manage thenweight so thinking plastic or fibreglass cages are the way to go for the future, just the cost is prohibitive at present.

Sweet reptile room. I have cages by Boaphile they're plastic about like yours, but white. Yours are nicer looking than mine, but i am not complaining. I love the plastic vivs easy to clean and easy to move. Plan on get more next year.
