Vivexotic Repti-Home Medium Vivarium Black (86x37.5x42cm) | PT4132

The VE Repti-Home Medium Black is a flat-pack timber vivarium built for reptiles that need reliable heat retention and a manageable temperature gradient. At 86 x 37.5 x 42cm, it suits a solid range of commonly kept species and arrives ready to construct with nothing more than a screwdriver.

Construction and Build Quality

Panels are finished in a wood-effect design and assembled using locking screws, meaning the unit can be taken apart and reassembled without damage — useful if you need to move or reconfigure your setup. Timber is sourced from recycled material or sustainably managed forests. First-time builders should expect around 15–20 minutes to complete the build. Once constructed, running a pet-safe sealant along the internal joints is recommended to improve longevity and prevent moisture ingress.

Ventilation and Heat Management

Multiple large vents are positioned to allow heat to dissipate across the enclosure, supporting a natural thermal gradient from the warm end to the cool end. The 'easy-access' vents are designed so that heating and lighting cables can be fed through without removing the vent plug entirely — a practical feature that makes equipment installation and adjustment straightforward.

Glazing and Security

The sliding front doors are glazed with toughened glass meeting BS EN 12150 kite-marked standards. A plug-based locking mechanism is included: when the front panes are positioned correctly, a plastic plug fits into a gap between them to prevent the doors from being pushed open. Additional lock options are available separately for increased security.
