ProRep Vivarium Grey 90x45x45cm (3x1.5x1.5ft) Reptile Enclosure

The PR Vivarium in Grey is a 90x45x45cm terrestrial enclosure built around an aluminium frame structure — a deliberate departure from traditional all-wood construction. Designed for reptile keepers who want a rigid, lightweight, and visually clean setup, it suits a wide range of terrestrial and semi-arboreal species that thrive in this footprint. The grey wood-effect finish gives it a contemporary look that works in any room.

Frame-Led Construction

Where conventional vivariums rely entirely on wooden panels for structural integrity, this enclosure uses an aluminium profile running along all outer edges as its primary support. This locks the side and back panels securely in place, eliminating the risk of panel warping or joint failure over time. The result is a build that stays rigid and square throughout its lifespan.

Panel Specification

• 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
• Aluminium corner posts replace bulky front support plinths for an unobstructed front view

Weight and Practicality

Because the aluminium frame carries the structural load, the panels can be thinner and lighter than in a traditional wooden vivarium without any loss of durability. This makes the enclosure noticeably easier to assemble and to move once built — a genuine advantage when setting up or rearranging a reptile room.

Ventilation and Cable Management

• Side-mounted black plastic vents allow the enclosure to sit flush against a wall without blocking airflow
• A 5mm ventilation lip around both the top and bottom panels ensures passive air circulation
• Adjustable rear cable management for clean routing of thermostat probes, heat cables, and lighting leads
• Hidden screw channels in the aluminium profile prevent scratching of surfaces the vivarium rests against

Visibility and Access

Sliding glass doors run from a bottom glass strip — topped with a black runner — all the way to the ceiling of the enclosure, maximising the viewing area across the full front face. A plastic door latch secures the doors in place. Without front corner plinths breaking up the sightline, the decorated interior is fully on show.

Available in grey wood effect alongside oak and black variants, this enclosure is straightforward to build, practical to live with, and built to last. Keepers who have previously dealt with warped boards or heavy flat-pack builds will notice the difference immediately.
