    Can I ask how much roughly one of these cost you to build? I'd give my left kidney for enclosures like that for my babies. That is hands down one of the most amazing enclosures I have ever seen. It looks like something you'd see in a Herper magazine, and cost about $8,000.

    You should be very proud of your accomplishment.

    Ballpark estimate – about $400 for the wood, linoleum, stain, silicone, and LED lights.

    $160 for the glass doors and locks.

    $350 for the Herpstat 4, and $24 a piece for the Ultratherm heat pads.


    All said and done, I put the whole thing together for less than $1k (since I didn’t charge myself for labor!!!)


    THE SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT AND PRIDE IN DOING IT = PRICELESS!!!

    Here are a couple more, just to show it in better lighting,and with the cabinet doors installed.
