VivExotic Vivariums: What to Look for in a Wooden Enclosure

Northampton Reptile Centre's livefood subscription service covers this ground: a chosen delivery schedule, a set quantity per box matched to the animals being kept, and the ability to pause or adjust the order as circumstances change, managed online rather than through a fresh order every time. For keepers with more than one animal, or a collection that's grown over time, this removes a fair amount of the week-to-week admin that comes with keeping livefood-dependent species.
Wooden vivariums remain one of the most common enclosure choices in the UK reptile hobby, and VivExotic is one of the ranges most keepers come across when comparing options. Understanding how a wooden vivarium is built, and what the sizing tiers actually mean, makes it easier to choose one that suits the species being kept rather than just the space available in a room.
Choosing a species this way, with the long view in mind rather than the first few weeks, tends to make for a better outcome for both keeper and animal.
Temperature and humidity checks matter more in these first 48 hours than at almost any other point, since this is when a keeper finds out whether the vivarium set up before the animal's arrival is actually holding steady under real conditions. Checking thermostat readings against a separate thermometer, ideally at both the warm and cool ends of the enclosure, confirms the setup is doing what it's meant to before the animal has been in it long enough for a problem to become serious.
Minimal handling is the starting point. However tempting it is to interact with a new arrival straight away, most reptiles settle better with little or no handling for the first few days, left instead to move around the enclosure and find its hides and basking spots in their own time. Handling can begin gradually once the animal is feeding normally and showing settled behaviour, rather than on a fixed schedule regardless of how the animal is actually responding.
