Vivexotic Repti-Home Maxi/Med Vivarium Black | 86x49x56cm

The VE Repti-Home Maxi/Med Black is a timber vivarium built for reptiles that need a reliable heat source and a meaningful temperature gradient. At 86 x 49 x 56cm, it offers enough floor space and height for a range of commonly kept terrestrial species, and the 15mm wood board construction retains heat effectively — making it straightforward to establish basking temperatures and a cooler end without excessive equipment.

Construction and build quality

The enclosure arrives flat-packed and assembles using locking screws, requiring only a single screwdriver. That same locking system means the unit can be disassembled and rebuilt if you need to move or reconfigure your setup. First-time builders can typically have it standing in 15–20 minutes. The panels are finished in a wood-effect design, and the sliding front doors are glazed with toughened glass manufactured to BS-EN-12150 kite-marked standards.

Ventilation and access

Large vents are fitted with an easy-access design that allows heating and lighting cables to pass through without removing the vent plug entirely — a practical detail that saves time during setup and maintenance. The combination of multiple vents and sliding glass doors allows heat to dissipate across the enclosure, supporting a natural temperature gradient from the warm to cool end.

Security and finishing

• Front glass sliding doors secured by an included plastic plug that slots into a pre-drilled hole
• Additional lock available separately for enhanced security
• Once built, sealing internal joints with a pet-safe sealant is recommended to extend longevity
• Available in black — part of a range offered in four colours

Stacking and storage

The Repti-Home Maxi/Med is designed to be stackable, provided matching sizes are used — a practical consideration for keepers maintaining multiple enclosures. A matching cabinet is available separately, rated to support two stacked units. The vivarium can also be raised using leg risers, with three pairs recommended for this size.

Suitable species

• Corn Snakes
• King Snakes
• Milk Snakes
• Rat Snakes
• Royal Pythons
• Terrestrial Geckos

The timber used in construction is sourced from recycled material or sustainably managed forests. For keepers who want a well-built, sensibly designed enclosure that goes together without fuss and holds heat reliably, the VE Repti-Home Maxi/Med Black is a straightforward, dependable choice.
