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

The PR Vivarium in Grey measures 120x45x45cm and is built around an aluminium frame construction — a significant departure from the all-wood vivariums that have dominated the reptile hobby for decades. Designed for terrestrial species that need floor space and a secure, well-ventilated enclosure, it combines a clean aesthetic with practical engineering that keepers will notice from the moment they build it.

Frame and Build Quality

Rather than relying entirely on wooden panels for structural integrity, this vivarium uses an aluminium profile along all outer edges. This frame locks the side and back panels firmly in place, removing the risk of panels splitting or joints wearing over time that can affect traditional wood-only builds. The result is a rigid enclosure designed to hold its shape for years of use.

Panel Construction and Weight

• Bottom panel: 12mm melamine-coated chipboard
• Side panels: 6mm melamine-coated chipboard
• Top panel: 15mm melamine-coated chipboard — sufficient thickness for screwing equipment such as thermostats, lighting brackets, and fixtures directly into the ceiling
• The aluminium frame compensates for thinner side panels, keeping overall weight down without compromising rigidity

Front Visibility

Without the need for bulky wooden corner posts at the front, the sliding glass doors run from a bottom glass strip all the way up to the ceiling, giving an unobstructed view of the enclosure interior. A black runner sits between the lower glass strip and the sliding doors, and a plastic door latch secures the front. This layout makes the enclosure far more visually open than conventional vivarium designs.

Ventilation and Cable Management

• Side-mounted black plastic vents mean the back of the enclosure can sit flush against a wall
• A 5mm ventilation lip runs around both the top and bottom panels to maintain passive airflow throughout
• Adjustable rear cable management provides easy, tidy routing for heating and lighting cables
• Screw channels are recessed within the aluminium profile so fixings cannot scratch furniture or adjacent surfaces

Finish and Compatibility

This variant features a grey wood-effect finish on the melamine-coated panels, with black aluminium corner posts. It is also available in oak and black wood effects. The 120x45x45cm footprint suits a wide range of commonly kept terrestrial reptiles and fits standard vivarium furniture and equipment designed for this size class.

For keepers who want a vivarium that is straightforward to assemble, practical to equip, and built to last, the PR Vivarium Grey 4x1.5x1.5ft is a considered choice grounded in sound construction principles.
