    Very nice acrylic enclosures on eBay, cheeeaaaapppppp

    Hey all, so I was searching for some sort of a little better enclosure than the glass 10 gallon aquarium I have now. I decided to try my luck on eBay and found this user. The enclosures acrylic and look very nice, especially for the price! I think I may look into these, just wanted to throw the link out there and see if anyone else had one or was interested. Let me know what ya think!

    No problem! I am very interested in this one, $65 for a custom acrylic 10 gallon with a front opening and what looks like just the right amount of screen. Humidity is hard to keep in my current set up. This one is basically the same but has a pull out drawer for $85 instead

    Also, it says that they do custom sizes, that could be nice for some people. Especially if you can get one of those handy drawers in any size tank.

    I think it would be better if the screen were not on the top, and would ask if the seller makes different models. The top screen is good if you need UVB light, but less desireable for BPs.

    They have a website as well: http://www.reptile-enclosure.com/ind...te=common/home

    The sizes you would need for an adult BP though, are not cheap relative to PVC cages or tubs ($250-$450). Especially when you add in shipping costs.

    The other problem about acrylic, scratchyscratchyscratchyscratchyscrapescrapescratcyscratchy. Soon enough you have a nice, expensive, foggy chamber. :\

    They make ones without the screens and also make custom ones, I just like to have a heat lamp because otherwise I can't keep the heat up. I suppose that they would keep heat and humidity in better than my glass tank though haha.

    I was thinking more for my baby ball so I didn't really look at larger ones, ahh I didn't think about scratching, thanks for warning me! Does anyone know of any equivalently priced PVC cages? Or any alternative to glass besides tubs?
