ProRep Vivarium Black 4x2x2ft (120x60x60cm) Aluminium Frame

The PR Vivarium in Black is a 120x60x60cm terrestrial enclosure built around an aluminium frame rather than the traditional all-wood construction. Designed for reptile keepers who want a rigid, long-lasting build without the bulk, it combines a sleek black aesthetic with a number of practical design decisions that make day-to-day keeping easier.

Aluminium Frame Construction

The structural backbone here is an aluminium frame that runs along all outer edges, locking the side and back panels firmly in place. This eliminates the panel warping, splitting, and wearing that can affect traditional wooden vivariums over time. The result is a rigid enclosure built to remain solid through years of use.

Lightweight Panel Design

Because the aluminium frame carries the structural load, the panels themselves can be thinner and lighter without any compromise to durability. The bottom panel is 12mm melamine-coated chipboard, side panels are 6mm melamine-coated chipboard, and the top panel is 15mm — the established standard that allows lighting and heating equipment to be screwed securely into the ceiling of the enclosure.

Maximum Front Visibility

Without the need for large wooden corner posts at the front, the sliding glass doors extend all the way from a bottom glass strip up to the ceiling of the enclosure. A black runner sits between the two, and the absence of obstructive front plinths means the decorated interior is visible from edge to edge. A plastic door latch keeps the doors secure.

Practical Details

• Side-mounted black plastic vents allow the vivarium to be positioned with its back against a wall
• A 5mm ventilation lip runs around the top and bottom panels for consistent airflow
• Hidden screw channels in the aluminium frame prevent scratching of surrounding surfaces
• Adjustable rear cable management for clean, accessible equipment routing
• Black aluminium corner posts throughout

For keepers who want a well-engineered enclosure that is straightforward to build, easy to move if needed, and genuinely good to look at once set up, the PR Vivarium 4x2x2ft delivers on all fronts.
