DIY convert any tub to front opening for reptiles!! 

Amazing. I love how you didn’t use a single specialized tool. Bravo 👏🏼😀

I am definitely going to be using this idea but for a larger bin, but for the zip ties I would put it to where they tie on the outside rather the inside of the bin like you have it just so that the snake doesn't end up rubbing against those and possibly causing injury.

Absolutely love this!!!! I've been on the hunt for affordable pvc enclosures... and they just don't exist!! This is brilliant and I will definitely be doing this for my slithers 🙂

A soldering iron to melt holes for the zip ties would prevent the rough edges in the inside. That's what I use for making rat transport bins

The Tardis shirt got me to click, but this was a really cool idea.

I took an old dresser and turned it upside down, knocked out the slats that held the shelves and put a piece of plexiglass on the front and waterproofed the inside. It made a huge enclosure that I also used as a stand for a 55 gal aquarium.

Def need some additions to make it perfect, but heck of a smart idea for a shell!!

This is awesome and gives me an idea for my tubs, I want to do this for the tops. I have a CHE on my tubs and would love to just be able to flip up the front part instead of taking the entire damn top off every time. Having a hinged front would be perfect to just flip up like a car hood and close when I am done.

Did you ever do a follow up on this to show heating and lighting ideas. Great idea on boxes.

I really like this. But I do have one concern. I've learned from using zip ties on other projects that when you cut them off they can be extremely sharp. So having the cut off part of the zip tie inside the enclosure might cause a hazard for the snake. I think I would have the cut off part on the outside. It wouldn't look as good but it would be safer for the snake. I guess you could also melt the edge a little bit to make it less sharp also. But this is a great project.

great video...keeping it simple and effective..thank you!

wow good work. first time i see this.

I love to score!

This is great! Thanks for creating this video :)

Really cool setup 👍🏻

What was the measurements of your acrylic?

That enclosure is àwsome. Very Very good

Great video 👍

Is it possible and feasible for the snake to extend one tub system to another by attaching pvc pipes between the 2 tubs with joles on sides? Have you ever done this or seen someone doing it? Just looking at options for making a tub system longer for when the snakes grows out of the tub? #ballpython

Love this! How do you heat the tubs?

Super great and helpful video! Was it difficult to score the cutout with just a box cutter? I'm not very strong so worried that it won't come out straight compared to using a power tool.

That's awesome!! Do you add airholes.

I have to try this out

Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you. Love your shirt btw

If you cut the top and put a screen on the top could you use a heat lamp

I thought about making one of these for a portable bearded dragon encloser

You’re a genius! Love this so much!

Incredible video!!

Worked well for all except my 1800g pushed the plexi and got it to pop past the hook. I'll add 2 more hooks and see what happens

Anyway you could post this agian the next time you make one but have th camera focused on the tub so we see how you do it from your point of view. I like the idea just have a hard time getting what your doing each step.

Nice. Good video.

What are the diameters of the peice of glass for the door?

Thanks for the nice video. I love the details you gave us. I just got 2 questions. 1 What are the dimentions of the tub? 2. What heating do you use and did you place it inside the tub or outside?

I am looking for the size of the plexiglass not the thickness. Is it 2ftx3ft?

Very impressive 😊

Do you think this would also work for corn snakes?

Brilliant idea love it . What's the size of the door like measurements. Great job.

What was the total cost for this build? If you already had some of the stuff from previous builds, how much did those cost when you first got them?

Do you think this would be alright for a leopard gecko, tanks are just way too expensive😫

When I upgrade my ball pythons enclosure im totally gonna do this

A drill would have made this a lot safer. Great idea though, thank you so much for the video!

Hi, I was just wondering how you set up your heating for these enclosures? I’ve made two with plans to make more in the future and I had use the zoomed heat mats but didn’t know if that was the best method for heating

Love the video!! Where do you order the plastic fronting?

This is a really great idea! you heat with belly heat..correct? Would you mind explaining how and with what type of heating pad/tape/wire??? Also with the bins stacking so tightly together with no airflow between bins could that pose a problem? Thx never mind I scrolled down and saw someone already asked same question👍

Has the super glue ever came apart from the acrylic?

Im tbinking of getting a Boa. This will definitely be my go to simple enclosure but question..... Do you think it would be a good idea to cut a section of the top and replace with another sheetbof acrylic to put a tube light to to get some lightbin there for a decent view of them?

Great job

Has anybody done this with the 70 gal? What size glass/acrylic will I need?

Damn you’re good 👍🏿💯💯

How do you heat it

I am just having a hard time finding a good sized box for my cornsnakes. They are a more active snake si i figure it would be better to give them bigger boxes.

How do you heat the enclosure?

Can you follow up with this on how you heat these? Or do you use ambient heat?

What do you do for heat sources?

Oh and by the way where can I find acrylic at

Infrared light?

Thanks this really helped i need a new cage for my bearded dragon!!

Make me one! I’ll pay 😂

Hi! I’m currently making a few of these ( or experimenting with run sizes ect ) my bf was all gung ho about screws ect , I told him it was gorilla glue and zip ties , Can you explain to us why screws were not used but zip ties and gorilla glue? I prefer it myself !

What do you use for a heating source?

Great video. I just ran out and bought this same tub. I'm wonder how are you attaching the heat pad to the bottom? I'm worried that the recesses will stop me from putting it on well.

What are the glass thing called???

Can you put lights and heat in that thing?

Hi! I’m trying to make this and am a little confused on the hooks to latch the doors. Where did you get them and how did you bend them?

The top bit can stretch enough for the snake to escape

This is so cool. What is the thickness of the acrylic you used?

how can I control the humidity in this tank. I made on and the humidity had been 80-90.

clicked for the tardis

May this work on the large sterilite tubs, or are they likely too thin?

Do you think you could use uvb tube lights in these safely?

I wouldve put the hooks on the top

Question for ya, where did you get the tub/do you have a link?

what size acrylic sheet do you use for this?

How much to make me one?

Where did you purchase these bins? Walmart,home depot, target?

What size would you recommend for a female ball python?

is it safe for baby burms to a year old?

did you say cup hooks?

Where do you get those little hooks for the locking mechanism?

What size is the acrylic?

A lot of people are wondering about heating, so I thought I'd share my tactic for heating a tub (specifically for a Ball Python): The way I heat my tub enclosure like this is to cut a large circle out of what will be the "warm end" of the tub lid (it should be at least 1-1/2" wider than the diameter of your heat lamp, so there is no risk of the lamp touching the plastic and causing a fire hazard). After that, you can cut (with heavy duty pliers) and attach chicken wire over the hole in the lid using a heavy duty glue or other adhering device. (I haven't perfected this yet, honestly. I tried using Gorilla Glue gun glue but it didn't hold, so I then stripped that and am using Gorilla Glue TAPE. However, I have to keep pressing it down as it keeps unsealing from the plastic of the lid...definitely not ideal! But if you can figure out a way to secure the chicken wire to the plastic lid, you're golden.) (*Make sure you attach the wire on top of the lid rather than under it. I know it doesn't look as nice, but the wire has sharp edges and unless you can cover them, it is safer to adhere it on top). Once you've attached the chicken wire, you can either place the heat lamp on top of the wire mesh, or hang it so it suspends directly above the opening you've made. :)

Can you please do one of these videos for rats?

What size tub is this?

???

How do they handle heat?

Doctor who fans where you at

You are a beautiful woman

this is an example of what not to do an coming for someone who has no idea wtf there talking about if u use this ur snake will get out !!
