Tube UVs were about the only thing going when I was constructing these. Our Uros have alway thrived in them but if I had it to do over again I'd rig them for MegaRays or whatever.
The single "cool" side vent helps with a smooth temp gradient. And the high gloss white helps keep things extra bright which Uros seem to appreciate.

Nice! But there is room for another at the bottom! LOL!

If anyone has a plan for a stackable set or a multiviv condo that accomodates MVBs, I sure would love to see it!

Yeah, kinda wasted space there. Did that because our cats tend to terrorize anything kept at ground level. The snakes don't much care but the Uros can't handle that sudden feline face in the window.

Really? My uros don't care at all when the cats stare at them, even when they paw at the glass all the time. In fact, Ra will just stroll up to the side of the tank where the cat is and just flick his tongue at him, like he's tasting him or something, then goes back to his sunbathing.

LOL! My cats really aren't around my lizards, but Taz, my adult mali would do the same thing. He is so laid back and friendly that even my birds don't spook him! Now Ngozi, my wc baby hisses, belly dances and tail whips at everything!

My Uros couldn't care less if the cats stare at them. Since we've moved them to AP cages up on cabinets, the cats are pretty ticked off that they can't see the lizards any more, so we put a bar stool nearby for them to watch. The Uros are totally un-fazed by the cats and just stare right back at them, but never startle or run and hide from them.

None of our Uros have ever had a problem with the kats "staring" at them. What freaks them is when this 22 lb behemoth, Claymore, can't stand the staring any longer, suddenly pounces & tries to crash his way through the glass. They flee for good reason. That face is the last thing several adult rats & squirrels ever saw...

I can definitely see the wisdom in wasted space . . .

LOL! 22 LBS??? Is he a Main coon?

I love Maine Coons but, nah, he's just an alley kat who never knew his daddy...

see my post about a new 6' enclosure, i have an autocad drawing there for a stacked enclosure. I can send more detailed ones if you would like of each level.

Yes, I saw it and responded. Did you work out a new design that accomodates the MVBs?
