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" 🤔

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 😉

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 👍

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.

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

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.

That’s pretty much my deciding factor. I also have a glass enclosure from Reptizoo that I really like for my leopard gecko because it has vents on the side. He seems to be much happier in it as well.

Animal Plastics makes really great enclosures as well, they're a smaller company and their lead times are pretty long right now, but their enclosures are so easy to assemble I was able to do it in 30 minutes with a manual screw driver lol they have predrilled holes and are routed to fit together perfectly. 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. Their 4ft terrestrial enclosures are always on sale too, so you can get em for about 225 each with shipping included

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.

Nice. I've kept fish longer than I've kept reptiles (unless you count birds as reptiles) so I always have extra tanks that I typically use for reptiles or I just build my own enclosures. I always liked the manufactured reptile enclosures, but didn't know much about them. Thanks for the info

Great video! Regarding ZooMed and ExoTerra, Hagen is the parent company for ExoTerra and ZooMed represents itself with no parent company. I do believe they compete with one another as well. I like to use both brands depending on the individual product but overall I love ‘em both.

ok so why do so many of my exo-terra enclosures have zoo med manufacturing stickers on them? Maybe they used to be together and one got bought out? I dunno, I've always wondered this? Thanks for watching :)

First of all... that calendar is amazingly awesome and I can't wait to find out more about them. Second, I absolutely admire your willingness to be open and honest with us about your experience with these different companies. I knew exactly what you were saying about the company "investigating". They treat you like a common criminal who is out to get one over on them. As if, "hehehe watch this, I'm gonna tell this company that this stuff was missing from my order and get MORE!!" I'm sorry, but hardware and a couple panels? I hope they watched their surveillance videos and saw that their employee just forgot a bag or something. Thank you so much for all of the information you give us. I love the fact that you aren't afraid to admit when you don't know things, give others credit where it's due and especially that you encourage people not to just believe everything they hear on the internet. "Do your research people!" Thanks again, Adam!

It's infuriating when companies do that. Many customers are genuinely honest, but after working in retail for ten years myself. Let's just say there are some true sadistic people out there that ruin the whole process for anyone. One apple spoils the whole bunch? That said, companies should only do those investigations for habititual "offenders". I can't tell you how many people buy something, beat the life out of it, DEMAND a full refund, then have the nerve to do it again and again.

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.

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.

Would love to see some recommended product videos, as someone mainly on the fish side of RU-vid I'm constantly seeing new products like filters and lights being reviewed and recommended or in the case of aquaclear filters to stay away from, granted reptiles have more specific needs for different habitats.

@@WickensWickedReptiles I haven't had reptiles in about 30 years, and now I cringe at how bad the information about keeping them was. I'm working on changing my situation so that I can adopt (hopefully) a tegu from Florida. I want to make sure I can provide the best home and life for one, so I've been devouring internet content. Love the reptile community!

I bought a PVC enclosure from Recoil Reptiles, and it is the tits. I came across them at a reptile show some years back, and told him (Alan) I needed a custom size to fit into a specific spot in my reptile room, and he said "no problem". So I called him up about a year later and he remembered our conversation at that show. He built exactly what I wanted with heat and lighting. The materials and construction are rock solid, the price was very good, and the customer service was second to none. I will buy their enclosures every time.

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.
