The Maxi Medium Vivexotic Repti-home is a high quality affordable vivarium for exotic pets that require a bit more heating. The 15mm wood boards help keep in heat making it easy to provide basking temperatures up to 90 Fahrenheit or higher. Numerous large vents and a pair of glass sliding doors allows for a lot of heat to be lost across the enclosure helping to create a pleasing temperature gradient from one side to the other.
Vivexotic vivariums are flat packed on arrival and can be constructed with a single screw driver. The majority of the enclosure is held using locking screws meaning that the unit can be taken apart and put back together. We estimate that each unit may take 15-20 minutes to build if it's your first time. The 'easy access' vents now supplied Repti-home models allow you to put your heating and lighting equipment through a vent without needing to remove a plug.
Once built, we advise a final finishing touch. This unit has sealed panels on most sides but once constructed we recommend running a pet friendly sealant along the joints to make sure that your vivarium lasts the life of your pet. To ensure that your pet cannot escape, Vivexotic have started including a simple locking mechanism in each of their vivariums. The front pane of glass has a hole on the right hand side, when this panel is on the left side and the back panel is on the right there will be a small gap to place the plastic plug provided. For additional security Vivexotic also offers a lock to match this unit (sold separately).
This unit is very affordable making it a great option for people looking to fill a room with reptiles. As long as the Vivexotic sizes match these units can be stacked one above the other. This vivarium has a matching cabinet strong enough to hold 2 units. For those that want or need some clearance from the floor, the vivarium can be elevated using Vivexotic's feet. We recommend 3 pairs for this size enclosure.
The Maxi Medium is recommended for corn snakes, king snakes, milk snakes, rat snakes, royal pythons and terrestrial geckos. The 86 x 49 x 56cm dimensions give considerably more floor space and height than the standard Repti-Home Medium, making it a better fit for species that need more room to move or a deeper substrate layer to burrow into.
The key difference is size. The Maxi Medium is deeper at 49cm and taller at 56cm compared to the standard Medium's 37.5cm depth and 42cm height, while sharing the same 86cm width. That extra floor space and height makes a practical difference for species that benefit from more room.
Yes, a matching cabinet is available and is strong enough to hold two units stacked on top of each other. If you'd prefer to elevate the vivarium without stacking, Vivexotic feet are also available separately, with three pairs recommended for this size enclosure.
The vivarium uses a plastic plug locking mechanism on the front glass doors as standard, with a Vivexotic sliding glass door lock available separately for additional security. After assembly, running a pet-friendly sealant along the internal joints is also recommended to protect the wood over time and help the vivarium last the life of your pet.
