Just ordered our lovely Jake a new viv! It's the Vivexotic LX48 any of you lovely people have this viv? I ordered it from seapets so unsure when it will arrive?! This may sound silly, but do you have to build it or does it come assembled there wasn't much info about that part!
I am extremely excited and secretly I'm sure Jake is too :) Hurry up delivery!! |

That'll be me. :D
It is flat packed, so you'll have to build it yourself. If you've put together any fairly modern flat pack furniture it should be easy.
The only other thing you need to do is seal the bottom and side joints with silicone to stop any water getting into the wood. |

I suppose you would build it whilst multitasking 10 other things as well  |

| The LX48 will be fine. My boy is 4.5 foot and in a tank that is 48" x 15" x 15", so pretty much the same size. |

| Jake is just over 4 foot and this take is 3 foot wide. I was worried then! He doesn't do too much exploring he's quite a lazy little snake until he comes out then he's very excitable! 36" is pretty much 122cm which is 3 foot. I'mpoopwith different measurements, but I think that's right?! |
