ProRep Vivarium OAK 4x2x2ft (120x60x60cm) | Reptile Enclosure

The PR Vivarium in Oak finish is a 120x60x60cm terrestrial enclosure built around an aluminium frame construction — a meaningful departure from conventional all-wood vivariums. Designed for a wide range of reptiles that thrive in a 4x2x2ft footprint, it combines a lighter overall build with a genuinely unobstructed front view and several thoughtful design details that make day-to-day keeping easier.

Frame-Led Construction

Where traditional vivariums rely on wooden joints and corner posts for structural integrity, this enclosure uses an aluminium profile running along all outer edges. This locks the side and back panels securely in place, removes the risk of panels splitting or warping over time, and gives the build long-term rigidity without the bulk of an all-wood design.

Panel Specification

• Bottom panel: 12mm melamine-coated chipboard
• Side panels: 6mm melamine-coated chipboard
• Top panel: 15mm melamine-coated chipboard — thick enough to take screws for ceiling-mounted equipment such as lighting and heating fixtures
• Oak wood-effect finish across all panels

Front Visibility

Because the aluminium corner posts carry the structural load, there is no need for large wooden support blocks at the front of the enclosure. Sliding glass doors run the full height of the front panel, with a bottom glass strip and black runner at the base. The result is an uninterrupted view across the full width of the enclosure — useful both for monitoring animals and for displaying a planted or decorated setup.

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 runs around the top and bottom panels for consistent passive airflow
• Adjustable rear cable management channel for routing heat mats, thermostat probes, and lighting cables cleanly
• Hidden screw channels in the aluminium frame prevent protruding fixings from scratching surfaces

Practical Build

The aluminium frame allows thinner panels to be used throughout without compromising the overall structure, which keeps the assembled weight down and makes the enclosure manageable to move and position. The sliding glass doors are secured with a plastic door latch. Assembly is straightforward, and the lighter construction means relocation — whether during a tank clean or a room change — is less of an undertaking than with heavier all-wood alternatives.

For keepers who want a clean, well-engineered 4x2x2ft enclosure with practical ventilation, strong front visibility, and a build designed to hold up long-term, the PR Vivarium OAK is a solid choice for terrestrial species setups.
