Vivexotic believes that their wooden vivariums have many benefits, they not only look great but they also provide the perfect enviroment for you reptiles. If the reptile vivarium is built and sealed correctly we can ensure that it will have a long life. Please click on one of the headings below to find out more information about our reptile vivariums:
Although the melamine itself is waterproof, the exposed chipboard may swell if
water is absorbed. We therefore recommend that you seal your vivarium with
silicon once constructed to prevent leakage and to help ensure that your product
has a long and healthy life. This will make your vivarium completely waterproof.
Simply run silicon along all inside joins and areas of exposed chipboard (such as cam holes) and leave overnight to dry. We also suggest that a small amount of silicon is run internally around the edge of the vent holes and tracking to help ensure that no moisture will enter the chipboard. It is critical that all joins and areas of exposed chipboard are cleaned before sealing.
