Vivexotic Repti-Home Large Vivarium

The Vivexotic Repti-Home Large is a timber vivarium built for reptiles that need reliable heat retention and a well-managed temperature gradient. Constructed from 15mm wood-effect panels, it holds warmth effectively — making it well-suited to species that need a warm basking zone at one end and a cooler retreat at the other. Available in Grey, Oak, and Black to suit different room setups and stacking arrangements.

Dimensions and Construction

The large Repti-Home measures 115 x 37.5 x 42cm, giving a generous footprint for terrestrial species. Panels are supplied flat-packed and are held together with locking screws throughout, meaning the enclosure can be assembled with a single screwdriver and disassembled just as easily if you need to move or reconfigure it. First-time builds typically take around 15–20 minutes.

Ventilation and Access

Four 'easy-access' vents run along the enclosure and are designed to allow heating and lighting cables to pass through without removing a plug entirely — a practical detail that makes fitting a thermostat probe or lamp holder much cleaner. The twin sliding glass doors span the front of the enclosure and contribute to airflow management, helping establish a temperature gradient from the warm end to the cool end.

Security and Glass Specification

• Toughened glass to BS-EN-12150 kite marked standards
• Front door plug included to prevent escape via the door overlap gap
• Locking screw construction means panels stay firmly in place once assembled
• Additional lock available separately for enhanced security

Sustainability and Finishing

The timber used in Repti-Home vivariums is sourced from recycled materials or sustainably managed forests. Once assembled, running a pet-safe sealant along the internal joints is recommended to ensure longevity and prevent moisture ingress over time — particularly important in enclosures housing species with higher humidity needs.

Suitable Species

The large Repti-Home is a strong match for corn snakes, king snakes, milk snakes, and a range of terrestrial gecko species. Multiple units can be stacked directly on top of one another, provided the sizes match, making this a practical choice for keepers housing several animals.

With three colour options — Grey, Oak, and Black — the Repti-Home Large fits into most setups without compromise. Whether you're housing a single animal or building out a dedicated reptile room, the straightforward construction, solid heat retention, and practical ventilation make this a dependable choice from a well-established UK vivarium brand.
