To get things going here's chocky and blizzards viv, with sandy's and venus's viv pics to follow.  Be honest in what you think, and if you want a close up of anything let me know. |

It's tidyer now, as i had a BIG clean out before christmass, and their is nothing at all now in front of or on top of the viv (except the misting bottle). So a new pic will be posted soon of the same viv (i've swaped some of the hide's around and my batteries are dead in the camera) So as soon as i charge the batteries i'll post all the viv's.

Thats fine John, thats whats good about this picure thing, we can all get ideas of other peoples vivs. Just one tip, put a support in the middle as mine is starting to dip, now i will have to take it all out and put one in at the weekend. My snakes love it though and always go in the top left, theres a hollow log and loads of plastic moss up there which you cant really see!

My viv is 4 foot and the shelf is about 3foot long and 1foot high and it almost coveres front to back less about 2inches to allow air flow. I have put that black plastic around the edge to stop the chips falling off (it is just right angled plastic from B&Q stuck down with no nails). On the left it is attached by 2 little brackets, it just sits on these so i can take it out.

For the size of the viv (the snake's) i would get a small mergerine tub to go under the bark n the left hand side, so the bark is at an angle and he has 2 dedicated hide's, and something to climb on (i personally believe it's 2 small for a brance, but when you upgrade i would definatly get a branch or 2).
The teranchala's viv look's fine, but i'm not into spider's thats my brother's domain (whimsey1).
