This is my design for a wall of vivs it will be about 3.5 metres wide 2.2 meteres high and 610mm deep it will be made out of mdf witch will be sprayed with laquer on the inside and sprayed black on the outside the two big vivs at the top will both be split down the middle for my 2 yemen chameleons and the other one will be for 2 panther chameleons and the 3 vivs running along the bottom will be for my python and one of my bearded dragons and then the other one will be spare so i need to decide whats gonna go there and then there will be 4 arge draws at the bottom to keep everything in.
 
Update

The ventilation and the airflow will be controlled with three 5 Chanel touch screen fan controlers.doors will all be sliding glass but there will be plenty of air flow because of the fans, there will be an intake and an out take of air in all of the vivs and my bf is a carpenter so he has all of the tools needed such as a router,saws,planes ect.and LOTS of sandpaper (best to use an random orbital sander) but not on the edges. The finish will be high gloss black and the drawers will have chrome handles but there's still vents to be cut out and channels for the wires so won't be starting painting for about a week or so.
 
And i forgot to mention the only reason it has been put together now is so we can decide where holes will need drilling and where the fans will be and lighting ect and there will also be a strip of leds across the top of each viv, that can be changed to any colour(just for lighting at night realy) and to make sure that all the joins are good before painting , after all this is done it will be getting took apart and sprayed and sanded many times before its done.
 
Another update

Pics aint great but you should beable to see the size it will be now the 2 chameleon vivs are on top

Looks impressive! I can't wait to see it occupied. Are you going to have drainage built in or just light misting for the chams? (Building my own and still deciding this)

Thanks i cant wait to see that either,We havent actually decided yet but were thinking of having a fogger with a tray at the bottom of the vivs to catch all the water but still need to figure out were the water will be emptied to, so not sure about that yet but will keep everyone updated.
