DUUUUUUUUUUUDE! Wait until you see this thing in person because it is massive and we are thrilled to have it in our showroom. Zach from ReptileKages.com built us a custom enclosure for our pair of Ackie's Monitors and they are thriving in their new home. These guys are found in the hot scrublands of Australia and do great in pairs. They are carnivores, and insectivores that need deep substrate (at least 12") and are very active, intelligent lizards. Guys we have been talking about this build for over a year, and after all the anticipation it is finally up and running. We could not be more excited to have this incredible set up in our ShowRoom. HUGE shout out to Zach from ReptileKages.com, do yourself a favor and check him out, he's doing some really great stuff.
Thank you everyone for the continued support!

Wow those Ackie's are going to love that enclosure! Great design! Love how you could possibly see into the burrows and all the hides available!

Dude this video might make me spend ALOT of money once I get more space!

@arborian2112 4 года назад

Good video, awesome enclosure. Just wondering why you didn't put the cork bark tube in the enclosure with the lizards inside it, instead of ripping it apart and probably scaring the shit out of those lizards? Understand your making a video and I don't claim to be an expert or anything....

Hey Josh! I have been binge watching your videos and I wanted to thank you for all the educational videos! I started my hobby of planted tanks and aquascapes about 4 years ago with a 20 gallon and a single cichlid. Fast forward to today and I have 7 aquariums of different species animals! Every day I try to learn more from different communities and came to know so many people with this passion. So from the planted tank community, thank you!

@wiqklxz8785 4 года назад

Hey josh 👋 I am a huge admirer of your work. This is not a rant so please do not come at me guys. I just feel like quite a lot of your setups feel rushed. The reason I think this is because it seems like you put everything together as quick as possible. I just watched your crested geck tank guide and I felt like it just felt really quick, for example you added the wood and instantly said “I’m digging it” although you may be enjoying the way it looks, it is not always ideal for the gecko. In the video you layer the wood down pretty much. But in reality, crested geckos naturally enjoy climbing vertically. So please take this into account. Even if it is time lapsed when you are trying different positions with the wood, it would be great. Because remember, what you like may not always be the most ideal or safe/naturalistic environment for the animal, so it would be better to design the terrarium for the gecko instead of for just your enjoyment. I love your videos though 👍🏼 keep up the work!

@joshzavatsky4730 4 года назад

I honestly wonder if I did the same set up like 100% the same how much $ would it all come up to look so amazing and I 100% agree if we are going to keep animals in captivity we should give them the best life we can give them but hell I can't imagine how much this would be.

@Ambeezyyx3 3 года назад

I would say between 3k and 5k. Without the Ackies. The enclosure is probably 2k or so. & substrate around 1k. Then, you need to take care of your plants, bugs, moss, wood & rocks. Another 1k maybe.. at this size. These are all estimations, so don't quote me. But around that definitely. I just did my Beardie in a 5 x 3 x 3 and it cost me around 2k.

@carlpottschmidt7637 Год назад

Does the weight of the substrate ever cause the sides to bulge out? Or how is it reinforced?

@TheBioDudeJoshHalter Год назад

Hey there! nope! These are made with a thicker material so as to insulate better and not do any bowing. This is their website here - reptilekages.com/

@MassisPipes Год назад

A beautiful enclosure that those ackies wil definitely enjoy! But why did you destroy the cork tube to get them out? Why not simply put the cork tube in the enclosure for an hour orso? So much unneeded stress caused for those 2 ackies :-(

@TheBioDudeJoshHalter Год назад

I am glad you enjoy the enclosure. You are right, I really should've just put the tube back in the enclosure and allowed them to come out when they were ready. I was just eager to show you guys and put them in, that's my bad. I will be sure to be more mindful in the future.

@ryry-cp6im 3 года назад

Looks more like a 6x3x4, if we’re talking about LxWxH. No way is it 6ft tall or deep, since reaching back you can touch the back. Looks about as deep as a few of my cages, which are 3ft deep.
