Vivexotic Repti-Home (AAL) Bearded Dragon Vivarium - Grey

The VE Repti-Home (AAL) BD Grey is a purpose-built vivarium designed specifically around the requirements of bearded dragon keeping, and fully conforms to Animal Activities Licensing (AAL) guidelines. Built from 15mm wood board construction, it retains heat effectively to support the high basking temperatures bearded dragons need, while a combination of large vents and sliding glass doors allows keepers to establish a natural temperature gradient from the hot end to the cool end.

Dimensions and Build

Measuring 120 x 62.5 x 62.5cm, this vivarium provides a genuinely usable footprint for a bearded dragon or similarly sized species. The grey wood-effect panels give it a clean, modern appearance, and the unit is designed to be stackable — useful if you're housing multiple animals or planning to expand your setup. A matching cabinet is also available separately.

Construction and Assembly

The vivarium arrives flat-packed and is designed to be assembled with a single screwdriver. Locking screws hold the majority of the unit together, which means it can be dismantled and reconstructed if you need to move it. First-time builds typically take around 15–20 minutes. Once assembled, running a pet-safe sealant along the internal joints is recommended to improve longevity and prevent any gaps from forming over time.

Ventilation and Access

• Easy-access vents allow heating and lighting cables to be routed through without removing vent covers entirely
• Multiple large vents support airflow and help maintain a temperature gradient across the enclosure
• Pair of sliding glass front doors for straightforward day-to-day access
• Toughened glass panels manufactured to BS-EN-12150 kite-marked standards

Security

A plug-and-hole locking mechanism is included to prevent the sliding doors from being pushed open. The front glass panel has a purpose-built hole that, when correctly positioned, accepts the supplied plastic plug to secure the doors. For additional security, a compatible lock is also available separately.

Materials and Sustainability

The timber used in construction is sourced from recycled materials or sustainably managed forests. The toughened glass meets BS-EN-12150 kite-marked standards, giving confidence in both safety and build quality.

Suitable Species

• Bearded Dragons (AAL-compliant for this species)
• Tortoises
• Royal Pythons
• Blue-tongued Skinks
• Other similarly sized terrestrial or semi-arid species

For keepers looking for a compliant, well-constructed enclosure that is straightforward to build and practical to maintain, the VE Repti-Home (AAL) BD Grey delivers a reliable foundation for a bearded dragon setup.
