DIY Cave Enclosure for Brown Tree Snakes!

[@morneschaap2944]

Wow! This looks beautiful. Love the idea of the "sunlight" coming in the back.

[@mikemarcusen4773]

Not only amazing work, but it's really helping me expand on my own build for a pair of Taiwanese Beauty snakes.

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thanks so much! Our aim is to get people thinking how to improve their set ups so it makes me happy to know I've helped do that!

[@jessescales4982]

Super cool! I really love how you did the lighting, it's so much more dramatic than the typical over head lighting. And those babies are cute as hell. Love their huge eyes.

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thank you! I was trying to mimic the low light conditions they would normally be found in, and they seem to be enjoying it!

[@WickedWildlife]

Your videos are amazing! I’ll certainly be having a go myself

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thanks heaps mate! I'm sure you will create something awesome!

[@DairyCat]

I 100% agree about the UV. I got a pygmy python and built a lot of rock works expecting them to hide underneath the rocks all day but they actually bask a lot on top of the rocks in the middle of the day.

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Yeah its amazing what behaviours we see when we give them the opportunity to pick what they want/need! Keep up the great work!

[@danneuenschwander3743]

Wonderful, thanks for sharing. It’s always a great view even when the content is lost. I really enjoyed.

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

[@AnimalsatHomePodcast]

Very cool! I love the way it turned out!

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thanks!

[@LILBOOGsBUGCORNER]

This is one of the best DIY enclosures I’ve seen!!! 🙌🏾 Thanks for sharing this inspirational build!!!

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thanks heaps😊!

[@thesilkkradle9558]

these guys look amazing. i love them. I haven't really checked them out before. i have an albino Darwin python and a rough scaled python at the moment have had loads of snakes in my time keeping though. i love this.

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thanks heaps! They are one of my favourite species to keep. We have a couple of this seasons hatchlings available at the moment, check out our FB or insta pages for more details

[@Thegermanmonitorlizardguy]

You are realy an artist. Love it. Best wishes from Germany.

[@Mackie244]

I was searching for DIY backgrounds for my Fish tank and stumbled across your channel.. Amazing! I very much enjoyed your videos and choice of pets! Keep the content coming and I will keep watching. Hello from South Florida and the Beaches of Ft. Lauderdale & South Beach! I spend a lot of times in the Everglades. I had snakes when I was a boy...My Mom did not like my choice of Pet at all or taking me to get mice to feed them.., LOL They were NOT allowed in the house kept in the carport. Then one night I snuck my Boa into my Bed, Fell asleep and middle of the night it crawled into bed with Mom & Dad.. That just about Ended my Snake Pet Days!! LOL! Moved to Guinea Pigs and a big Turtle in a Pen outside.. I'm pretty sure that Fish was the only Pet that my Mom liked and I could actually keep in the House LOL!

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thank you! Haha thats a great story about your first reptile pet!!

[@jayboyle000]

Great idea with thr roof ledges . Looks awesome

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thanks heaps!

[@markusruttgers2044]

Very well done !

[@johnswensson6032]

You need to post more videos - this channel was something extraordinary 😀

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thank you! Definitely more videos coming soon!

[@Thatozziechic]

This is seriously awesome

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thank you!

[@Theorcwardgamer]

This is incredible. Very inspiring to see a vivarium like this.

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thank you!

[@undertheanthill5256]

I love this. Your enclosures are so inspiring. I wish my content was like this 😂😂

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thank you!

[@JosuesExotics]

Awesome video! Can't wait to see what you do next!

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thank you!

[@jenzotics]

Wow!!! True artistry. I gave it a go with the poly years back and my superworms ate through it all. I did not know to fill in all the cracks around the edges then (wahhhhh) so I'm thinking of giving another go. Thanks for the inspiration! Looking forward to more of your videos :) Take care, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thank yiu😊 yes I have learnt that lesson the hard way as well lol! If you don't fill in every gap they manage to find even the smallest spot to chew!

[@jenzotics]

@@TheNaturalHerpKeeper Thank you so much for the reply. Glad to know I'm not the only one! :)

[@jennyrebelein3617]

Really nice work! Could you make a detailed video on the bioactive setup. What insects to use etc... I'm about to build a dragon enclosure and will definitely check your videos again!

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

It's definitely on my list of videos to do!

[@stuartgamble8581]

Excellent

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thanks!

[@Wolfprincess90]

Awww love those big eyes! You are very creative and talented to come up with these kinds of built. It motivates me to redo my beardy enclosure. My first attempt at making my own background wasn't great. First time using grout, but I will like to try again. Thank you so much for showing us what you can make.

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thank you! Don't worry my first ones didn't look like these ones either! But practice dose help lol! I find with grout it needs to be thick enough or you will have issues with cracking and breaking. Good luck with your next one!

[@Ahmenti]

@@TheNaturalHerpKeeper do you know roughly how thick the grout is on your builds? Maybe you could show a slice through on a scrap piece some time :). Love your work!

[@jakehunnicutt8760]

Found you from Animals at Home and I'm in love with these builds as well as your animal care! Do the grout covered rocks hold heat similarly to stone?

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Hi! Thanks heaps! They hold it better then some things but not as good actually rock. What we have done for some builds is actually build a piece of slate or rock in to the basking area and then that holds the heat really well 😊

[@jakehunnicutt8760]

@@TheNaturalHerpKeeper nice! Thanks

[@davidbrown-55]

Another very nice set up. How about making a rock vid. Like you have in this enclosure? Great work

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Thank you! I will be doing some more step-by-step tutorials in the future 😊

[@marciovinicius1248]

Gostei. Brasil

[@damianguglielmi940]

Do you have naturalistic terrestrial gecko enclosures?

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Not at ths moment, but we are in the process of building one right now!

[@Ghirmae]

Notice me I wish more video tutorial made enclosure background

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

We have more build videos in the making!

[@Thegermanmonitorlizardguy]

I want to build one side of a big mangrove tree with big roots on the ground. Any suggestings for the color and shape??????

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

I would just do a google search to get some photos of exactly what you are looking for and base it off that. I've also seen some people making fantastic looking trees from Zoopoxy, there is a group on Facebook for zoopoxy with lots of good information

[@lucasbagger1091]

Is there any specific Grout u need to use for these builds?

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

Nope, just standard grout from your local hardware store

[@lucasbagger1091]

@@TheNaturalHerpKeeper and what about the “coloring” for it?☺️

[@alzeus77]

Make tortoise enclosure plzzz... 🥺

[@TheNaturalHerpKeeper]

I would love to! But we can't own tortoises in Australia!
