Could a viv lying on its back be too deep? Mine is 48" x 15" x 24" so lying on its back would be 15" deep, all the tables I've seen look much shallower than that, except for bigger tables but then the depth is more in proportion to the size of the table.
I'm just thinking that if the aim is to maximise air circulation, then high walls on a relatively small table may defeat that? My table will be 48" x 30" and I'm thinking 9-10" high walls so it'll be quite open in relation to the surface area.

FWIW KayMarie I'm having no luck selling my viv at the moment, despite being brand new with all the lights fitted and quite a bit less money than I paid for it. I'm not sure what the answer is, I may end up giving it to my nephew who's pestering his parents to let him have a gecko!

Have you been on Reptastic? http://reptasticuk.proboards102.com/index.cgi? - Its a board for Lizard owners, its quite Southern so you may get some help on there selling it. Other then that i am going to put ads in the reptile shops round here and in the paper, i might even resort to Ebay!
