Best reptile enclosures you've seen?

Well I'm bored and sick and my mind is buzzing for some inspiration and design ideas. I figured this would be a fun thread to share cool reptile enclosures you really like or thought were top notch or just really creative! What enclosures have you seen that just made you go WOW!

I really like the way this setup looks

Try Google and look up bioactive green tree python. It a build video of a pretty cool set up. It even has a waterfall in the cage.

Ever since I saw it in the Green Iguana: The Ultimate Owner's Manual about 20 years ago, I've loved the "Ultimate Iguana Habitat"
The pic is copywritten so have to click link to see it, top photo, large white enclosure in the living room, that's the photo from the book:

Habitat Systems makes the best cages on the planet and it's not even close. They use hollow core PVC which is superior to any sheet product for a number of reasons. Very hard to work with, which I assume is why no one else uses it.

There's a reason they cost 4x-5x the price of every other plastic cage! Most of their clients are zoos or other AZA facilities, but some of the bigger breeders (especially arboreal guys) do buy from them. Mike Wilbanks must have at least $100k worth of habitat system racks :O!

there's an old forumer on here - Hungba - who was a DIY guy and he built some amazing display vivariums and backgrounds. too bad most of his pix are down b/c he uses crappy Photobucket, but here was a work in progress of T-Rex skeleton for one enclosure (https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...nd-in-progress) :

awesome stuff!


Edit: on the other end of the spectrum, who can forget Mr. Echo! his enclosure was legendary (https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...osure-question). again too bad that his pix are down b/c of crappy Photosucket. :/

I don't really need any special accolades, applause or nods of approval, however I enjoyed setting these up and I do like showing them off a bit and helping people out with ideas. The cages are exactly the way I want them. Are they the best? For what I want, yes! Otherwise its just a plastic box with heat. Part of the hobby, a fun part IMO, is designing your enclosures and reptile room.


This is a good thread and it makes me remember back to when I asked to see pictures of different cages on various forums. It is fun to get ideas from others, and my mini arsenal here, has certainly been influenced by ideas from other keepers or photos Ive seen.

I have four cages, all made by Constrictors NW (Pro-Line). They were shipped here and I did the rest. Radiant heat panels heat them all. Everything on board, sans the heat panels is instantly removable if need be.

Stack of four footers: Top is a Royal python cage 4' x 2' x 14". Sorry no photo of her cruising around.

The bottom two have realistic backgrounds, all have 3 perches and multiple light options.

A similar, but much larger cage for a retic. 6' x 30" x 2".

OK,

IF I really had the space, this would probably be fine,,,, I guess.

I have some enclosure pics saved that I'd like to post, but was there a rule about no posting pictures owned/taken by other people?

I think if it is for the purpose of furthering discussion and enhancing a thread it is OK.

I've posted plenty of threads that I stumbled upon without issue.

I'd like to see what you have!

Ah if that's so, here are some that made me go WOW. (not necessarily for ball pythons, but in general)

Whelp. Since we're posting our own enclosures now, I guess I'll share mine :P

Maybe I should have called this thread "Show off your enclosures" instead :rofl:

panta rhei aquatic designs. man do they make some BA setups. their paludarium river/waterfall set up is my next goal for diy.
