ProRep Vivarium Black 4x1.5x1.5ft (120x45x45cm) Reptile Enclosure

The PR Vivarium in Black is a 120x45x45cm terrestrial enclosure built around an aluminium frame structure, designed for reptile keepers who want a lightweight, durable vivarium without the drawbacks of a traditional all-wood build. The black wood-effect panels and black aluminium frame give it a clean, modern look that holds up well once decorated.

Frame and Structural Design

Where most vivariums rely entirely on wooden panels for structural integrity, this enclosure uses an aluminium frame running along all outer edges as its primary support. The aluminium profile locks the side and back panels securely in place, removing the risk of panel wear or splitting over time. The result is a rigid build with genuine longevity.

Panel Construction and Weight

The aluminium frame allows thinner panels to be used without compromising durability, which keeps the overall weight down and makes the vivarium easier to position or relocate. Panel specs are as follows:

• Bottom panel: 12mm melamine-coated chipboard
• Side panels: 6mm melamine-coated chipboard
• Top panel: 15mm melamine-coated chipboard — thick enough for equipment to be screwed directly into the ceiling and held securely

Visibility and Front Access

Without the need for large front corner plinths, the sliding glass doors run from a bottom glass strip all the way up to the ceiling, giving an unobstructed view of the enclosure. A black runner sits at the base of the doors, and a plastic latch keeps them secure. The overall front profile is visually clean and fully functional once the vivarium is set up.

Ventilation and Cable Management

• Black plastic side-mounted vents allow the enclosure to sit flush against a wall without blocking airflow
• A 5mm ventilation lip runs around the top and bottom panels for consistent air circulation
• Adjustable rear cable management channel for routing heat mats, thermostats, and lighting cables tidily
• Hidden screw channels in the frame prevent scratching of surfaces the vivarium rests on or against

At 120x45x45cm, this vivarium suits a wide range of terrestrial species and is a practical choice for keepers who want a well-engineered enclosure that's straightforward to build, easy to equip, and built to last.
