Thanks for the kind words Adam, we really appreciate it and are honored that you included our Evolution series in this video 😀 Since last year's build off we have launched our 2.0 version of this series which does not have the middle obstruction and is arguably now the biggest selling 4 x 2 x 2 in North America. Maybe we will see you at this year's build off and show you a totally different design that may get you thinking "outside the box" 🤔

I just got the 2.0 snake discovery enclosure from custom reptile habitats and they come with a thin cover for the screen that has cut outs for lamps, so you don't have to buy the big top thing separately

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

the old ones had that too, really cool design

[@amandavoelker1201]

Additional points for custom reptile habitats for me because they have so much customizable options. You can choose between glass or plexi doors, you can choose whatever color of pvc you want/ get a decal on the pvc, you can customize the substrate tray to be taller or even clear vs solid, they offer a customizable humidity retaining lid to cover the screen if you keep a high humidity reptile. They also have different designs, one of which does not have that center support that obstructs view. Also customer service is awesome, and Paul is awesome 😉

[@CustomReptileHabitats]

Thanks Mandy 🙂 Such wise words from a co-founding member of the IHCT club 😂😂😂😂

[@caseysilva6919]

I have a lot of ReptiZoo glass enclosures. They come in pieces and the assembly is quite easy. The screen top is super strong and has a nice black coating. The only gripe is sometimes the doors don't line up well when closing. As for PVC, I only have Kages which I cannot say anything bad about. They are great, and even moving a completely built one to another location was easy!! Lastly, I got my hands on the new Exoterra Frog enclosure. It is currently in process of being customized.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

ohhhh I can't wait to see how it turns out!

[@dandobrowolski5818]

I just got a 24 x 18 x 36 glass reptizoo enclosure....I like it...it went together pretty easily...the doors line up pretty well.

[@rawexoticsaz2796]

All my reptizoo enclosures ventings rust. Top and sides. I prefer zoomed on glass. Also I have two of the frog n co enclosures. I love them. The locking mechanism, drain, door. Only thing I’m not 100% on is the top just because it limits lighting positioning.

[@phorestpsy216]

I like Kages, but I have heard they are more geared towards keeping lizards than snakes, though I'm not sure why that would be.

[@reptilefae]

I use both glass and PVCs. PVC are game changing especially with high humidity reptiles. I use dragonhaus (they're also local) and they're phenomenal. I do like my glass enclosures for my LOW humidity babies 😂 great video Adam 😊

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Thanks for sharing!

[@013hybrid]

I also bought one from DragonHaus because it was local. We did have a few issues with the ventilation and with how some of the edges of the PVC and Acrylic doors were cut, but it ended up being alright after a little bit of adjusting. Definitely less expensive than other enclosures we have. We are going to try some from a few different companies to see what we end up liking best. Happy to have this video covering options 👍

[@yuhyuhtheindigo7085]

Dragonhaus and animal plastics are a cut above all other options in my opinion, with animal plastics being the gold standard

[@phorestpsy216]

yeah, I can't wait until I upgrade my young dumerils boas from their 75 gallon, and 45 gallon tanks respectively. So I don't need to spray their cages every day. They are a year apart that's why one has a larger home.

[@WestMrGreg]

Hey Adam thanks for doing a review and glad we made the cut. It was a great review for all the caging mentioned. For our larger cages we can do single unit but my preference is to split the cages mainly for strength but also in shipping. There is a big difference in cost if you ship a 4ft pallet vs 8ft which they consider oversize. As we ship all over North America shipping cost is always of concern. It's interesting some other companies have recieving holes like you mentioned. I imagine that would be easier to do if you only have a few set sizes. While we do have set sizes we are also very well known for our level of customization and being able to do custom builds. We do also have light canopies as well for those interested. Thanks again

[@teacherCF]

Hey Adam, could you do an update video for how some of your animals are doing? I know you did room tours and enclosure tours on livestreams and such, but I'm wondering about the health, handleability, challenges, etc. of some animals, especially lesser-known ones. I'm specifically interested in your experience with your Chinese cave gecko(s) and any Antaresia Pythons

ZenHabitats is my favorite PVC company personally. I have used them, boamaster, and reptile factory. Zen is a better bang for your buck and their customer service is superb. I had an issue with the screen lid and emailed them. They responded an hour later saying that a new lid was being shipped out that day. My only issue is that screen lid. They also make enclosure hoods. But I am not a massive fan of needing a hood to use overhead lighting.

It took like 6-8 months to actually get, but it was soooo worth it. You can choose the door type too, I have sliding glass doors and they just pop in and out.

Fantastic video Adam! I wanted to ask you your opinion on housing Dart Frogs in one of the larger 4 ft PVC Cages Canada (the cheaper ones). We have one and house one of our Spotted Pythons in it, but keeping humidity in it is not the easiest. I do agree how easy it is to mar these... pretty flimsy but the price is right.

[@sharonawaldschmidt3622]

I have the zoomed and expo terra tanks, mine are all double doors. For the screen tops, I bought the metal enclosure lids you can get for aquariums that you can get when you convert a fish tank for reptiles. I have cats, so I get the lids to prevent the screen lids from getting damaged by the weight of the cats. It’s great for the BP as I can put the tape to cover up the humidity escaping on the underside of the metal lid instead of on the screen of the tank. This the only kind of tanks I have used.

[@nogames8982]

I think it's great to get reviews of different types of enclosures. So much is dependent on the type of Reptile, the climate you live in, and what you can afford. Just because one enclosure is not right for one kind of animal doesn't mean it's terrible for all animals. And vice versa.

[@RedsFaunaverse]

I live in australia so basically the only option we have for enclosure brands (that I've found for regular sale) is Reptile One, it is a good quality brand at least but it would be nice to have more options sometimes. Especially since the biggest size enclosure they make is 120cm x 60cm x 60cm, which means any big reptile is going to need a custom enclosure.

[@lorrainemunoa791]

Adore the Kages enclosure I bought, with one warning- if you, like me, paint your panels and seal your paintjob for reptile safety DO NOT leave the panels in a sunny place to dry. PVC can heat up real fast in high temperature daylight, and they will warp! (They won't when used properly as a cage) My fault entirely for not considering that. I was able to eventually unwarp them, and they're a dream to assemble with those pre drilled holes. I am very disabled, weak as a noodle, and I was able to build it entirely by myself.

[@99watefalls]

[@nathanmezick2698]

Kages may have the best products but they don't have many size options and their prices are undeniably excessive. Over $1,000 for a 4'x2'x3' isn't really justifiable in any way, their products my be quality, but they don't need to charge people 5x the materials cost. a 4'x8' board of quality 1/2" PVC can be bought at Home Depot and many other stores ranging from $100-$150. They don't need charge $1,000 because they drilled some holes in it for screws, drilled ventilation holes, cut it to size, and sent some glass or acrylic doors cut to size with it. People that just want to own a few reptiles as a simple hobby should not have to spend that much just because Kages is labeled as #1 and they can charge that much.

Thank you! I want to upgrade my bci to a semi arboreal once I get my own place

Check out Toad Ranch enclosures. They’re beautiful and look to be solid but a little less expensive than Kages. I’m waiting for mine now. Great review, it’s what I’d just been looking for.

Toad Ranch enclosures have been the best by far for me! I have both Custom Reptile Habitats and Toad Ranch enclosures. Toad Ranch's enclosures look like wood furniture and are completely PVC. Their customer service is the best I have ever had with any company ever. They always know who I am when contacting them whether through Facebook or their website. It is such a personal feel that you would get from the store down the road you have gone to for 20 years. You should try them out.

I use zen only for the original 4x2x2 pvc the updated version, but if I was to get some animal that was peak of my collection I would invest in a more expensive and luxurious enclosure same for a giant enclosure like an ackie 6 foot enclosure. Zen is good in my opinion for its basic 120 gal I’ve had great experience

I’m getting two of the 4x2x2 PVC enclosures by Kages for my Ball Pythons. I can’t wait to see them!! 🐍❤️🐍

Hi Adam. I have the model of Exo Terra you're talking about. I bought it for my Gargoyle Gecko. I like it so far. I can do a more honest review, but that would take too many words. So I like it.

Idk if this is a good idea but can you make a video to show your favorite equipment to make reptile videos? Like what camera(s) lenses, lights, microphones.. that stuff. I'm hoping to get better equipment for my own channel in the future

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

In the Philippines, the most common brands for reptile enclosures are Zoo Med and ReptiZoo.
