They are just an hour north of me! I could have gotten my Custom Reptile Habitats enclosure mailed to me but decided to drive to pick it up...that was before gas got really expensive. I got a 3 ft tall by 2 ft by 2 ft enclosure for my PTS. She's not in it yet as she was a little too small when I got her but I'm looking forward to getting her in there soon. They also offer a variety of colors. I got grey pvc with silver metal accents (instead of black). So many options!!!

@kerseykrewzoo 2 года назад

The invert enclosures, especially the vertical ones, would be great for small colonies of mourning geckos! I’d love to get one to try with mine. They’re in an 8x8x12 enclosure right now and I’m wanting to upgrade them to something larger since I now have 2 adults, 1 juvenile, 3 babies and several eggs close to hatching. Thank you so much for making this video. I’m going to check pricing on their website right now so I can make plans and save up to get one. Being on a fixed income has definite drawbacks but I’ve learned how to be more patient because of it and learned how to be more savvy with my money. So thank you again Emily and Ed. ☺️💕

@kerseykrewzoo 2 года назад

@@HissyFitPetTherapy If I can get them grown up enough to sell, that’s definitely something I planned on looking into. I’m doing research on how to ship them properly, cost, and which mail company to go through so I can be sure that they’ll get to their new homes safe and alive. My regular mail person isn’t really good at reading instructions on boxes. He left live insects on our porch in high heat and in our mailbox in the heat as well. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ I just don’t understand not doing your job correctly. He even had the box my uvb bulbs came in crushed in on the sides and is super lucky they ended up being okay considering how pricey and necessary those things are to my bearded dragons.

That is a very smart idea about assembling and disassembling before shipping. This would avoid most issues of things not fitting together. Of course shipping accidents happen but this eliminates a lot of headaches. Also using their recycled pieces for other enclosures. Awesome. That huge one would lovely for a boa. Also now know where I'm going for my reptile enclosures.

The moment you mentioned cats falling into enclosures - I remembered an incident from 6-7 years ago - my cat did not fall in - but the tank had a sliding lid - charlie the corn snake escaped- I woke up because i thought my cat was chewing on a plastic bag...I turned on the lamp and I see that darn cat pouncing on a bag. there was a 1-4 inch section of a tail visible for a split second - luckily charlie only had some minor surface scratches (it took 2 sheds but he was fine) and i bought a lock so the cage couldn't be unhooked by the cat, then nosed open by albino charlie - this luckily has been my only reptile escape.

The first time he escaped also, he was missing in the house for a whole week! We thought for sure without heat things would not end well but she found him alive and drinking out of the dog’s water dish! And it was winter time in Maine soooo really a miracle he survived!
