thanks for that wayne,it really had me stumped,ha,ha

a wardrobe (airmore) would make one cool big tank.you could leave it uprite for aboreal snakes or put it on its side for a big burm or retic.

sounds like a plan mate

Only managed to get one photo before the bloody camera died!! They are all empty at the moment - gonna take about a day to get through the bags of other equipment to see whats there and what (if anything) is needed to get the vivs ready for my babies. The guy had lizards in these three before so not sure if there are enough ceramic;s for the three vivs yet.

Bottom one will be for Kevin and Perry the baby corns

Middle one is for Monty the Python

top one is for the spiny tailed monitor that the missus wants.

those are very,very nice tanks mate,they look shop bought.in fact i think they look better made than the ones i bought from a shop.the doors are bigger so you see more of the inside of tank.imo thats better for watching your rep's.you can get wee stick on clear glass like handles for the doors mate.it makes it much easier to open and close without leaving tell tale finger marks on the glass.i think theyre around 3 or 4 pound a pair.you get them on line,pm me if you need the name of the shop.
cheers shaun

Cheers Shaun - will take a look. They are bloody solid viv's i can assure you after stacking them!! All sides are 3/4 inch thick - most vivs i have seen in shops have hardboard 1/4 inch thick backs (which can also split and soak up moisture).

Had an email back from the guy who sold them - couple of months he may have two 6foot tall arboreal vivs, that he also made, for sale. I am kinda thinking that once i have bought everything he owns i will put him on a retainer to build anything else i want in the future!!!

Really nice looking cages. Congrats!

Lankyrob · 06-22-10, 09:05 AM

Well (finally) i have spent today fitting out the viv's with heaters/uv lights (for the lizard). have found that one pulse thermostat doesnt work and one ceramic bulb holder is split so off to the reptile shop in next couple of days to get new ones - THEN decoration to be done so that the little critters can move into their new homes.

Photo's will then follow!

Very nice find! I had a similar find a couple of weeks ago, I drove 125 miles to pick up 3 4'x2'x2' snake cages. for $30.00 us they are in nowhere near as good condition as yours though Rob. Congrats.

My sister just e-mailed me about a pet store going out of business... wanted to know if I wanted to go halfsies on their entire stock...

Lankyrob · 06-22-10, 03:20 PM

Really cant wait to get it all finished now - we are hoping to collect the wife's Lizard on Friday but want to put him straight into his permanent home so there is no messing him around. This is when i get real pissed off with my back cos previously i would have just ploughed through and got the whole lot sorted in an afternoon, but patience is a virtue and all that!!!
