The kids now think we are famous after seeing their enclosures on the channel! Thanks for including all our enclosures in the video, we have found something really good out of what has been a strange year for us all and brought the family together. I am just pleased we had the right advice from the start and found such great youtube channels to always make me think about trying to improve what we have already. I have to give a massive thanks to Julian Clare from Wrigglies in Leighton Buzzard for all the sound advice on the animals we have purchased from him! The crestie build is in full swing with a foam background, which is a first for me. Will send pictures over once it is complete. Just waiting to collect a new viv for the corn snake as well which will have a halogen/heat bulb.

This video was such a treat!!! My husband has finally (mostly) warmed up to the idea "letting" me get a snake, but the compromise is that we have to wait until after we buy a house (which will hopefully happen next year). However, I am hoping to start assembling the enclosure soon. My hope is that, if I start slowly working on it between now and next year, by the time we move, the live plants will be grown in and well established by the time I finally bring a snake home! This video certainly served as some lovely inspiration! Thank you so much for taking the time to assemble these images/video and for offering really thoughtful, individualized, and thorough commentary. I have found that, on other channels with videos such as this, the commentary gets kinda rush and repetitive. However, you really took your time to comment on each enclosure. And if you are one of the people who submitted an enclosure, thank you SO MUCH for submitting these images and videos and for being such awesome role models!

I spend a lot of time thinking about what is wrong with our hobby - all the things that we could be doing to better the lives of our animals but aren’t. I look at my own enclosures and know that they could be so much bigger, better laid out, and better lit (no matter how confident I am about a lighting setup when I install it, it generally isn’t more than a few months before I know how I could improve it). Then, when I go online and hear about racks, heatmats, and how “SnAkEs HaVe No UsE fOr Uv”, it makes me despair. It is nice, then, to be able to look at images like these and know that we are at least heading in the right direction: long may it continue!

This was incredible!! It's so exciting to see first time keepers setting the bar so high. There is really no reason at all why there should be this preconception that we can keep reptiles without adequate substrate, enrichment etc. As I have said before, I definitely feel that their unbelievable resilience to survive is their biggest downfall in the pet keeping industry. But anyway, what a standard to start with! (as a fishkeeper I also would love for the fad of "ornamental" or "contemporary" aquariums to phase out as they're just boxes of water with nothing for the fish to interact with). Also, amazing to see families growing up with this kind of thing! It seems more and more of the old fashioned myths are being challenged too, and look what we get out of that when it's done properly. Hopefully we'll leave those people in the dust and keep moving onwards and upwards. Fantastic stuff! I will be there for part two haha

I definitely agree with the fish tank situation in this comment, we have 14 fish tanks, we dump a load of planted substrates in a load of bogwood, as many plants as would be natural and just let the tanks go wild as they would be in nature, and I think that's how they should be, none of this crystal clear water, we let the algae grow, loads of botanicals to stain the water and give the fish the most natural set up possible

Hey Matt. The ackie tank is mine. It's kind of difficult to type this but I will try.. The tank topper was designed by me and made by a metal fabricator. It's more like an aluminum frame with slots / groove in it. 1/4 inch plywood fits in slots and becomes walls. There is a lip around the bottom portion of the frame that keeps it in place on top of the tank. The frame is held together by bolts. It's strong and can come apart. Hope this helps

How can make this more creative for my animal. Tried a bunch of different ideas amd nothing can up hold her trampling (anyone who asked no we dont have a water dish) we found while talking to the vet she would lay in it till she would get sick and refuse to bask we opted for soaks a couple times a week to keep her hydrated and regulated more.

I have two thoughts: 1) google pictures of their natural environment (iNaturalist is great for this), it might help you brain storm some new ideas, 2) I would add more hides/shelters... it's hard to say way she would spend so much time in her water dish but it might be due to her feeling insecure.

When you say that a wooden enclosure would rot for a brazilian rainbow boa, do you mean just any plain wooden enclosure or a sealed one? I use a water based sealant on my wooden enclosures (silicone too) that I house my ball pythons in and I don't have any rotting issues.

Yeah I mostly mean unsealed word or melamine. Normal plywood/lumber that has been sealed typically holds up perfectly fine and humidity. I find pressboard/melamine tends to swell and crumble overtime in high humidity environments

@@AnimalsatHomePodcast I honestly think that's something people forget to talk about, and end up accidentally discouraging people from getting wood enclosures even though it may be some people's only choices in upgrading. I would like to think that MOST people would know to seal wooden enclosures tbh, tho I know there are some morons out there

Yeah that’s a very good point, next time I do a video like this I’ll make sure to mention that!

Great video as always! Btw inkbird makes a similar product to the sensor push that’s much less expensive. I’m not sure if it is as good as the sensor push but will save you about 30 bucks per sensor.

Thanks, Jack! Ohh interesting, I'll look into that. I use the Inkbird thermostats, even though they are quite inexpensive I have had lots of success and zero issues with them

You should check out "Cams Custom Backgrounds" if you want to be inspired, He talks you through his builds, he has done enclosures for his own reptiles and now he does them for other people, well I think his builds are awesome anyway...

Jesus loves you and died on a cross and rose three days later taking our place and paying our debt (for the wages of sin is death) so you can have eternal life and be forgiven of sin if you repent and pick up your cross and follow him daily

Excellent post!!! I loved every minute of it! It did, however, take me more than a minute to figure out how to spell Eurydactylodes! Wiki has a nice article on what is called the chameleon gecko. They had the same photo you showed, in fact. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurydactylodes
