Hi all,
I'm thinking of building my beardies some new enclosures, and i would like them to be stacked. How can i ensure that i make them strong enough so that they don't collapse? What size screws would I need to help this?
I use heavy rocks for basking so i'd need to make sure they were secure, at the moment i've literally got a viv on top of a viv, but i'd like a better stacked look.
also would it be better to have a gap in the centre, between the top viv and bottom viv? or would i just use one piece of wood? I've looked through a few of the 'instructions' and i can't find one that says about screw length or the gap thing.
Thanks,
Nikki
