Clear audio, excellent camera work, and making sure to show everything from tools, hardware, materials, and even mentioning where to get everything.

I am so tempted to use the spray foam to make a backdrop when I eventually make my enclosure. Not only does it look great, well yours does at least, I feel it will also help add a thermal barrier. I am so concerned about temp loss as my room is in a basement and we have times, like today, where power went out for several hours.

I've watched dozens of these builds leading up to building our 4x2x2 beardie enclosure. I wish I had seen this one first. By far the best build video I've seen thus far. Clear directions, simple enough for nearly anyone to build this and well constructed. I wish I had seen this before doing the build we just did. It is heavy and solid but very hard to manage because of the weight. This one looks like it will be solid without being extreme in its weight. I honestly want to build this now despite already building one. I love it so much. @ChiefSweetsUniverse what area(region) did you source your supplies?

Thank you very much. I washed it with water and dried it out. To dry it out I put it in a pot and baked it on 250F degrees in the oven. Then I mixed it with coconut fiber and organic top soil

Do you have any concerns about toxicity of using the foam gap material or paint and the heat lamp leeching chemicals ?

No because it’s sealed with the drylock.

Hey, wanted to say your video was awesome. I was also wondering if you think a vertical type of enclosure would be able to be done. I want to get a couple triangle tree frogs, but I don't want to spend 300 dollars and above for a big enclosure.

Would you say that it was more affordable to make the enclosed diy versus buying one?

At the time yes but now they have a lot of affordable options. Finally you can get a 4x2x2 for $280 instead of $500
