LR Openair Mesh Vivariums (How do they compare to exo flex's?)

[Pugtona]

What do people think of these mesh vivariums compared to flexariums?

The Medium Open Air Vivarium by Lucky Reptile is a collapsable mesh vivarium.
Made from robust nylon mesh, the Open Air Vivarium cannot be eaten by crickets or locusts.
Excellent for reptiles which require good ventilation, such as chameleons.
Quick and easy to assemble and disassemble.
The open air design allows UV rays to penetrate whilst preventing the animal from overheating.

From what I can find, they don't seem to differ much from exo flexariums, but what i have found is that people have said they are sturdier, and more handy that they have the feeding hatch so you don't have to open the whole front of the vivarium

I am considering replacing my glass exo terra, with a openair or flexarium for my baby veiled

I dont like them at all.

I would stick with the exo and get your baby a 4 feet high 2 feet square screen cage when its big enough.

I got one of these for free a while back....they are "ok" at best.


The top has no support so you have to put your lights along the corner (which is the only place the bars go.

Also, the bars break relatively easily. I've had 2 of my connector points break from repeated take-down/set-ups.


With all that said though...it is a handy cage for temporary housing, especially if you have to take your chams elsewhere (for example, when I am out of town I take my chams to my dads house and the cage comes in handy then, but that is the only time I use it)


I'm not sure what the price point is since I got mine free, but they are ok at best.
