Vivexotic Small Repti-home Vivarium for Reptiles
The small 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.
Small Vivexotic Repti-home Features:
- 57.5cm x 37.5 x 42cm
- Wood effect panels
- 'Easy-access vents'
- Locking screws for easy construction
- Toughened glass
- Plug to secure front doors
- Vivariums are stackable
- Available in 3 colours
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.

You'll love the small Vivexotic Repti-home vivarium because:
- It's very easy to construct and take apart.
- The timber used comes from recycled sources or sustainable forests.
- The glass is toughened to BS- EN-12150 kite marked standards
- Delivered straight to your door with a next working day courier
Once constructed we recommend 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 offer 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 range does not match a Vivexotic cabinet but for those that want or need some clearance from the vivarium can be elevated using Vivexotic's feet. We recommend 2 pairs for this size enclosure.
We recommend the small Vivexotic repti-home for the following animal types:
- Juvenile corn snakes
- Juvenile geckos
- Invertebrates
- Juvenile king snakes
- Juvenile milk snakes
- Western Hognose snakes
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Vivexotic Repti-Home Small vivarium suitable for a corn snake?
Yes, it's a practical starting point for juvenile corn snakes, as well as other juvenile colubrids like king snakes and milk snakes. Bear in mind this is a small vivarium at 57.5 x 37.5 x 42cm, so it's best suited to juveniles rather than adults, which will need a larger living space as they grow.
Can the Vivexotic Repti-Home Small be stacked with other Vivexotic vivariums?
Yes, these units are stackable as long as the Vivexotic sizes match. It's a great value way to house multiple reptiles in the same space without needing separate stands or cabinets. If you prefer to elevate a standalone unit, Vivexotic feet are available separately and they recommend two pairs for this size.
How long does the Vivexotic Repti-Home Small take to assemble?
It arrives flat packed and can be put together with a single screwdriver. For a first build, allow around 15 to 20 minutes. The majority of the enclosure uses locking screws, which means the unit can be taken apart and reassembled if needed, which is useful if you're moving it or reconfiguring your setup.
Do I need to do anything to the vivarium after assembly?
One finishing step worth doing: run a pet-friendly sealant along the internal joints once it's built. The panels are sealed on most sides, but sealing the joints helps the vivarium last the life of your pet and prevents any moisture or substrate working its way into gaps. Vivexotic also include a door plug for basic security, and a separate lock is available if you want something more robust.
