This is so useful! I can't be appreciative enough of this. I'm on a budget and have been looking for ways to properly accommodate my future blue-tongued skink, without having to spend $400+ just on the enclosure itself. Plus, this was probably the most simple tutorial on building my own that I could find out there. I don't do DIY projects ever, and I can definitely follow this w/ at most help from one other person. I'm def going to visit Home Depot tomorrow and buy everything I'll need. Thank you!!
You guys are an adorable couple. I’m real happy to see that you encourage each other’s interests. I thumbs up your video for that reason. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been watching videos on building vivariums so your channel got recommended. This video was great but your vibe is even greater! Thanks the ideas.
Great tip on the wood! Most people do not know that Lowes and HD will cut it for you!
I'm just here for the reptile and enclosure policed comments. There's always a few, just can't help themselves I guess😂
😅 always
good work, you should drill some aeration holes in the bottom of your plexiglass so you'd have a better airflow ;) if you look at commercial terrarium they always have some in the front, cold air come in the front and hot air goes out on top, also if you have trouble keeping it warm enough you can cover some of the mesh on top ;)
This is how you learn glad you guys had fun
Man this is so perfect 💯 so much help then purchasing these expensive tanks
I like the enclosure. I would just say keep an eye out and make sure she doesn't ingest the substrate. It could cause a blockage.
Great build the only thing I noticed is your knobs for opening your doors weren't even lol. That would of bothered me and I would of leveled them out.
Thank you!! I got my uromastyx with a 40 gallon and going to 4x2x2
Great video. I love anything to do with DIY! You guys did an awesome job!
I subbed.
Do you have a more detailed list?
Sweet work 👍👍
i want to do this but i want sliding doors do you have any tips on how to do that?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
It’s been a year, how is it holding up?! Wanting to follow this video for my ball python
This type of enclosure won't work for a BB. It doesn't hold humidity at all. Now, It would be good for your reptiles that have low humidity.....or it'd be a good rodent cage. But, I wouldn't suggest this (open top) style (unless you have that aluminum tape to help seal it untill it starts holding humidity)
i want to do this but how would i make the doors slide
Nice
What measurements do I need if I want to build a 80gal tank please I need your help 🙏🏾
just look up “80 gallon tank measurements”
Yeah if you look it up, you can just cut the wood to fit your requirements!
71.3x71.3x71.3 (CM)
This is a great video. Where did you order the plexiglass?
Home Depot and Lowe’s have it!
@@foodadventures4004 what size is it?
@@Graciepennington 4 ft they cut it in half so it can become two doors
@@Antisosa ok thank you
this doesn't look very sturdy
Let's see you build a sturdier one.
That’s an amazing opinion. But you know what’s more amazing? The fact no one asked for it.
@@simpled5755 hater be nice
@@bluraymex23 I wasn’t hating on you bro.
I think it's encouraging and constructive-they did great and probably can upgrade their skills from here.
Not very useful to much unnecessary talkin
Trippin fr they gave great information
