Only reason they would be no good for me, you can't stack them!
Also, not keen on the glass top as it's too open for a snake, they like to feel safe from threat from above. I guess you could cover it with some frosted fablon stuff. |

Do you think they would be ok to stack just 2 though? Thinking if the height was ok for a corn or royal and I could stack 2 the same size I'd be able to fit 2 viv's in the space of the one alternative i had been looking at?!!!

How can you stack them if they open from the top? How will you get into the bottom one? |

What lift off a fully functioning viv, complete with snake, hides, water bowl etc just to change the water in the one below ?

In the picture it looks to have a latch or something on the side (unless i'm just blind lol)- for secure locking?
They look nice, but stacking them isnt an option really  |

is it just me or does it imply the heatmat goes along the back wall?
they look ok but I think they are more suited for geckos or something small.. |

The heat mat goes in a purpose build slot under the floor.

I read it that way too!
It says attach at the back, not underneath. |

| No, they go on the floor as Lucy said. My local place sells these and I do like them, but as mentioned they're not really a stackable option so not for me. |

I found pics from another seller on ebay that shows where to slot it in through the back, but it sits flat under the floor. The wording is misleading I agree! |

| I bought one of these when i got my 3 year old corn. It is a really nice tank and the heat mat fits nicely and locks are snake and child proof..... for now. My only concern is if it is big enough- more in terms of height. I think i will keep mine for a few years and would then increase in size slighty. |

| Ive got one of these that my newest addition was in, really nice and sturdy and i would say completely escape proof as the latches are really secure and theres no gaps at all. I would say it would be fine for a hatchling but doesnt really give a bigger corn enough room to explore and no climbing room. And i found that it got a bit of condensation forming on the top so have to watch the humidity levels. My boy was only in it for a couple of days til his new big boy house arrived but am gonna keep it for when i get my boy his baby for his birthday. |
