    There was more height than floor space, that "mirror" would probably drive a BP nuts and that water feature is definitely going to stress that snake. There's no place for a temp gradient, one hide, and a bunch of wasted space above. It would have made so much more sense to stack the 3 enclosures, rather than build 3 vertical enclosures.
    Clearly, these people are NOT reptile experts.

    I'll try episode 3, but it might be the last episode I watch...
    I just watched a bunch of the episodes I had recorded. Overall not a bad show, but some of the "experts" need to get on google and study up a bit on some of the species they are building enclosures for. The "doll house" Disney build for ball pythons was horrible. A clear hide for the one ball python. Vines in the Jungle Book themed enclosure. So the ball python could feel like its in its natural habitat to climb on. Im far from a reptile expert. Ive kept mostly ball pythons since 1993 or so. Some corns, boas, geckos, tortoises, and a burm or two. Again I far from being an expert on all things reptile. But some of the enclousers are just insane. One episode had a Bill and Teds themed enclosure. It was a pretty much an all glass phone booth.

    I'd say the first few episodes were somewhat entertaining. But after that, I started to catch all the mistakes. Some of them were pretty basic common sense things. The problem with that, like with most tv shows. They are putting out the bad information to possibly millions of viewers. People that may get X reptile and then build an improper enclosure. All because they seen it on a tv show. As we learned with Venom hunters. Just becuase they are on tv. That doesnt mean they are experts.

    In one episode they did a Bonny and Clyde themed set of enclosures for some ball pythons. It was cool looking, but not suitable for ball pythons.

    Hopefully, there is a season two and they get some better "experts". Or do a bit better research before spewing a bunch of crap on TV.

    Also in the intro to the show, they kinda take a jab at people that keep reptiles in tubs.
