Choose every dimension and detail
Every custom build uses the same 10mm PVC foam board as the standard range, cut and finished to the measurements you give.
Size
Length, depth and height to the centimetre through the calculator.
Material
Black or white PVC with a semi-gloss finish.
Doors
Hinged or sliding, both in toughened safety glass.
Top
Mesh for airflow, or solid to hold heat and humidity.
Quantity
A single enclosure, or a matching set for a stack or a full reptile room.
Larger builds
Anything beyond the calculator, including multi-section units for a whole wall, is quoted by email.
Measuring in centimetres matters when the vivarium has to sit in an alcove, under a window sill or flush with a run of existing units. A few centimetres either way is the difference between a fit and a compromise.

WHY PVC IS THE RIGHT MATERIAL FOR A MADE TO ORDER BUILD
A vivarium built to fit a space usually stays in that space for years, so the material has to cope with heat, humidity and regular cleaning without changing shape. PVC foam board does not absorb water, so it will not swell, rot or delaminate, and panels cut to size stay true. It holds heat better than wood, which keeps running costs down on a larger enclosure, and it is fire-retardant.
Because the board is non-porous it wipes clean and suits bioactive setups with deep, damp substrate. The differences between PVC and wooden vivariums come down to moisture, and on a bespoke build that is the one thing you cannot afford to get wrong. The panels are rigid enough for a long run without sagging, yet light enough for two people to carry a finished enclosure upstairs.
Built around the animal and the room
-
Snakes
A royal python or corn snake does well in a long, low enclosure with enough depth to turn, and an adult boa or carpet python needs more length than most stock sizes offer. Custom length and depth give the floor space without wasted height.
-
Bearded dragons and basking lizards
A 120cm by 60cm floor is the usual starting point. Extra height makes room for a proper basking gradient under a mounted UVB and heat lamp, and a solid top keeps that gradient stable.
-
Monitors and larger lizards
From ackies to bigger species, these animals need a deep digging layer and a strong floor. A custom build can carry the height for a full substrate depth on a footprint that fits the room.
-
Tortoises
An enclosed PVC tortoise vivarium with a mesh top gives Mediterranean species the airflow they need while keeping warmth in overnight, something an open table cannot do.
-
Arboreal species
Chameleons, crested geckos and tree boas use height rather than floor space. Tall, narrow arboreal vivariums built for the corner of a room are one of the most common custom requests.
Alcoves, chimney breast recesses, under-stairs spaces and full reptile rooms all come with their own measurements. Where several units will sit together, order them in one go: board colour can vary slightly between batches, and a set made from the same batch matches across every unit.
