Another great video, Dillon, and thanks so much for including my work (the boa cage at the 16:00 mark), I’m very flattered. To answer your question about the woodwork, I did do all of that myself as well. One of the perks of being a carpenter by trade. I did want to make it a bit of a show piece as it would be living in a very visible area of my home. And I realize I forgot to list dimensions! The space is 78”Lx28”Wx40”H, equivalent to about 380 gallons of interior space. At my snakes current volume, that’s 1250 times her volume (but she’s still young)
Hey Mark, thanks for chiming in! I was pretty sure you did the work but it was 100% sure. Amazing job, it turned out incredible. It will be an excellent show piece. It's going to be a great conversation starter when you have non-reptile folks visiting as well!
That is an amazing enclosure! I'm working on a build from scratch right now, but my woodworking skills are pretty weak. Seeing stuff like yours definitely inspires me to level up!
@@jessescales4982 good luck with your project, man! A good place to start improving your woodworking skills is to learn about a few different kinds of wood joints. Mitre joint, butt joint, half-lap joint, pocket screws, to name a few. Learning and practicing these techniques and concepts will undoubtedly benefit your project!
THANK YOU to everyone who submitted photos!!! These enclosures are gorgeous, and the animals all look so happy and healthy!!! I am feeling so inspired! Dillon - I love the positive energy of these videos. So many react videos involve the occasional roasting. This positive showcasing style is way more pleasant and encouraging. I am so happy to see this emerging as a series!!!
Thank you for watching, Let me know in the comments which enclosure was your favorite! *If you want to submit pictures or videos for the next installment of this series, please send me an email at hello@**animalsathome.ca*
Thank you for showcasing my enclosures Dillon. It’s humbling knowing I can inspire other people to create a beautiful enclosure for their reptile. I love seeing the creativity people have and the different types of enclosures for specific climates and species. Gary’s rock work and general designs are breathtaking. The pygmy python and Leopard gecko desert enclosures were impressive and Mark’s boa cage with the custom wood work was incredible. Thank you for putting Seven’s cage and Nala’s photo on the video link. I feel honored to be featured that way. I’m hoping by fall I will have two more enclosures to submit. I’ll be building a 36Lx24Wx48H for my gargoyle gecko, and a 72Lx24Wx48H PVC cage for a Rainbow boa I’m planning on buying late this summer. I forgot to include that all of the branches and bark in my cages I collected on my land in NH.
You are more than welcome! It was a pleasure featuring your work :) I know I can speak for everyone when I say, can't wait to see what you come up with next! 🙂
YEAH GARY!!! I’m big fan of what he does, very talented. It’s actually all his fault that I have a reptile obsession now. Hahaha. Pretty stoked to see he put some submissions in.
These are all incredible! Love seeing this type of thing becoming more common (and couldn't be more thrilled at someone shifting from a morph obsession with a bioactive one haha!) Cant wait to finally start working on my JCPs new enclosure again next month. Unfortunately I really had to put the breaks on most of my projects over the last few months but it's one of those things you just never stop thinking about. Also, third time's a charm, I will get some videos and pictures sent to you very soon hopefully for the third video haha!
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what you end up putting together over there! No rush, I am quite certain these will become a semi-regular occurrence, we'll get you in there eventually haha!
Really enjoy these types of videos and the final two Royal enclosures are fantastic. I will need to re do the branch in our enclosure soon as our little is growing on and has given me some ideas.
i think the dart Frog terrarium was dope, would be nice to know how he build that (might wanna get some in the near future), would be also a cool terrarium design for my crusted geckos
I'm having 2 new enclosures custom made right now for my rosy boa and leopard gecko. in 2 weeks, i have a couple days off of work that i plan to use to set them up. i'm possibly doing a fake rock background with foam too. if all goes according to plan, it should look pretty awesome when i'm done. i hope to submit them in a few weeks if you're still doing more videos like this. i love watching for inspiration too.
These are some really beautiful enclosures ❤❤ I am currently in the process of buying an enclosure from someone who did custom build a cabinet into a home for his python. I am going to take it over and put in additional landscaping, plants and I really want to build a waterfall feature with a pond. It’s going to be a long process, but I’m in no rush. No serpent will be living in there in the beginning. At least not before maybe next summer or maybe even longer since buying proper lighting and heat sources isn’t cheap. I want Arcadia 😅
Do you have any tips for good loose substrate that's medium humidity? I'm thinking about making a bioactive enclosure for my future corn snake and world like it to be able to borrow
I would really go with any DIY Bioactive substrate! Most of them are a mix of soil, peat moss, cocofiber, leaf litter, sphagnum moss, etc. I think that would work well 👍 Just play around with it!
Oh shoot sorry! UA-cam automatically places those, I normally manually delete a bunch of them before I publish but forgot this time. Thanks for the reminder!

Thank you, Cary! There is so much negativity out there, I figure we might as well spend a few minutes staying positive!

I am envious of Gary's rockwork. So well done.
It looks so real!

36x24x48 That's a gargantuan size for a gargoyle gecko😯 S/he will love it.
Your enclosures look so natural, thanks for sharing them

I am hugely impressed with all the setups on this video. My favourites are the ball python enclosures - stunning!
Yeah those were really incredible, such an eye for detail!
Just put together my big PVC enclosure tonight. Great timing with this video! 🙌
Oh awesome! :)
@@AnimalsatHomePodcast this video is transformational in so many ways. Glad you put this together.
This is great timing actually. I’m in the process of redoing some things and this has helped a lot!
Awesome, I’m glad the video helped give you a few ideas!
Really enjoy these types of videos and the final two Royal enclosures are fantastic. I will need to re do the branch in our enclosure soon as our little is growing on and has given me some ideas.
Yeah, I have definitely save those photos for future inspiration 👌🏼
More of these please ❤️
There will definitely be more 🙂 thanks for watching!
There's something sooo satisfying about ball pythons in huge vivaria!
YES, I agree!
especially loved how much climbing space the retic had! Wish all big snake owners gave that much space
Agreed! We all know how much retics like to climb!
I love seeing what other people are creating. It's great to see so many fantastic enclosures, and especially no 'roasting'.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks, Daniel!
Some amazing enclosures featured today :-)
Agreed! 😁
Love these enclosure segments, very inspiring. My favorites were the king snake and ball pythons, so cute.
Thanks for watching, Natalia! Yes, those were great :)
Great Show!!! Inspirational. Keep it up! MORE!! lol
Thank you! 🙏
i think the dart Frog terrarium was dope, would be nice to know how he build that (might wanna get some in the near future), would be also a cool terrarium design for my crusted geckos
Yeah I love the look of that root, so cool!
@@AnimalsatHomePodcast yea, gonna send you my terrarium for your next vid haha
Yes, please do!
I'm having 2 new enclosures custom made right now for my rosy boa and leopard gecko. in 2 weeks, i have a couple days off of work that i plan to use to set them up. i'm possibly doing a fake rock background with foam too. if all goes according to plan, it should look pretty awesome when i'm done. i hope to submit them in a few weeks if you're still doing more videos like this. i love watching for inspiration too.
Yes, absolutely send them my way whenever you are done! I'm sure I'll continue to make these videos for awhile, I love sharing everyone's work!
these are so inspiring i got the courage lol to send in my enclosure but forgot to send a picture of my crested gecko lol opps
Thanks, man! I got your emails 👍 I will definitely include them in the next reaction video I do (probably sometime late next month or early March).
@@AnimalsatHomePodcast thanks so much can not wait so excited
These were some wonderful submissions, really inspiring enclosures here for sure!
Thanks for watching Harry!
This was amazing for getting new ideas. I have so much to learn but I can’t wait to start making my enclosures even better. Thanks a ton!
Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching! :)
Those enclosures look amazing! Definitely gave me some great ideas!
Thanks for watching, Zach!
love ur vids helping me a lot to inspire me
Thank you very much for watching!
Sooo much inspiration❤️🐍
Thanks for watching , Erika :)
These are some really beautiful enclosures ❤❤

@@AnimalsatHomePodcast Would you suggest adding gravel or wood chips of some kind to aerate it?
@@KaiahAurora Yeah I think orchid bark would work well!
🤩
Can I submit my enclosure to you now? I just did a custom 5x2x2 for my BP
LOVED seeing all these enclosures. Next time could you stop moving the green dot so much, it was very distracting. Great video content as always :)
Thanks for watching! And thank you for the feedback, I will turn that setting off on my screen record program :)
@@AnimalsatHomePodcast Really love you channel and podcast. Thank you for being so approachable :)
I will never put a live plant in my snakes enclosures, they will absolutely demolish the poor plant
Haha yes... snakes can be quite rough on plants
Awesome video, but man chill with the ads. I get trying to make money but every 3 minutes?
Oh shoot sorry! UA-cam automatically places those, I normally manually delete a bunch of them before I publish but forgot this time. Thanks for the reminder!
