Some of you know that there's a community of keepers who have modified grow tents for plants into enclosures for various species of reptiles. These have worked quite well for years now, though a good amount of DIY work is required to modify the grow tents to allow for reptile- and keeper-specific needs.
One of the members of an active Facebook group devoted to this method of keeping has spent the last few years working on developing tent-type enclosures for keepers, and he recently put up a website announcing their availability. I thought I'd share it here (I hope this is OK but admins please delete if it's not).
I'm sharing this as an FYI and not as a recommendation, as I haven't yet used these. However, tents have been extremely successful as enclosures for a variety of species, and appear to be good at maintaining both humidity and temperatures. I know multiple keepers who have been using tents for some time (including a friend who has been keeping his 11-foot Spilotes in one with great success), and I have tormented them with countless questions - to date, I am confident that their enclosures are very good. The prices on these things are far less than PVC enclosures, and I do plan to try using one for my young Morelia bredli. I'll definitely report back - even if I don't ultimately use it as a long-term enclosure, it'll still be a good enrichment space.
The creator of these enclosures is a very nice guy who loves reptiles and is open to discussion, questions, and suggestions. I love that folks like him continue to innovate, improve, and provide more husbandry options.
