The Vivexotic Repti-Home Maxi Large is a timber vivarium built for reptiles that need space, heat retention, and a well-managed thermal gradient. Sized to house a broad range of popular species, it comes in three colour finishes — Grey, Oak, and Black — so it sits cleanly in any room setup.
Construction and Materials
The enclosure is built from 15mm wood-effect boards, which contribute directly to heat retention and structural rigidity. Toughened glass sliding front doors meet BS EN 12150 kite-marked standards, and the timber used is sourced from recycled material or sustainably managed forests. A matching cabinet is available separately for those who want a complete, freestanding setup.
Ventilation and Heat Management
Four large easy-access vents are positioned to allow meaningful airflow across the enclosure, making it straightforward to establish a temperature gradient from the warm to cool end. The easy-access design means heating and lighting cables can be routed through the vents without removing the vent plugs entirely — a practical detail that makes equipment installation and adjustment much simpler.
Security and Access
- Sliding front doors with a plug-based locking mechanism to prevent escape
- Toughened glass panels — front doors include a hole for the security plug when positioned correctly
- Compatible with additional locking hardware (sold separately) for extra security
Assembly and Setup
The vivarium arrives flat-packed and assembles with a single screwdriver. Locking screws hold the majority of the structure together, meaning the unit can be disassembled and rebuilt if you need to move or reconfigure. First-time builds typically take around 15–20 minutes. Once assembled, running a pet-safe sealant along internal joins is recommended to improve longevity and ensure no gaps remain.
Suitable Species
The Maxi Large format suits a wide range of commonly kept reptiles. Species that work well in this enclosure include:
- Bearded Dragons
- Royal Pythons
- Corn Snakes
- King Snakes and Milk Snakes
- Blue Tongue Skinks
- Terrestrial Geckos
Units are fully stackable with other compatible Repti-Home vivariums, and a matching cabinet is available to elevate and house the enclosure properly. Whether you're setting up a single display or filling a room, the Repti-Home Maxi Large is a practical, well-specified choice for serious keepers.
