      We stopped using after three orders in a row, the bugs they shipped us were spilled out of the containers.. the final order we got left on the porch in a USPS tray because the larvae were both spilling out of the container inside the box.. and the box itself. Actually had a short discussion with the owner on Facebook and he said he'd "look into it" and we never heard back.

      You're either an idiot or a shill. Looking at the price for this setup on the Dubia website, your definition of affordable and mine are VERY different. Price as build here is around $500-$600 depending on what backgrounds you add. This is nowhere near affordable for most people.

    Our rescue switched out all of our glass enclosures to these. They are lightweight and easy to clean, and I love that they stack easily. Had a few of the Zen Habitats, and they don't compare to how sturdy the Reptile Habitats ones are. And for the price, I'm pretty happy about that. Each enclosure comes with its own mallet though, and my husband and I are laughing at how many mallets we have now!

      Dubia donates to rescues, we have a partnership with them. I also bought them with my personal money. I do this for free and still work full time in tech so I fund a lot of the rescue out of my own pocket. When you have heavy glass enclosures vs light pvc stackable that save a ton of space to have more enclosures, makes sense to switch them out.

    I’m glad an affordable enclosure like this exists. When my bearded dragon enclosure broke beyond repair, I really stalked this enclosure for a long time. I ended up building one instead because my dad and I ended up building one instead and it was cheaper since we already had all the tools. It looks really good even if I’ll probably build any large enclosure I need in the future.

  • @kriegtiger
    @kriegtiger Рік тому +8

    I have 8 of these enclosures now; so I have some feedback about them. I've shared this info with the company but also would like to share it here for people. Generally it's positive but there are a few quirks I think people need to be aware of.
    Materials:
    overall the build quality is excellent, everything fits together quite well, overall solid choices (aluminum, pvc, acrylic) for a good sized economical enclosure all around. Assembly is quick and they provide the a mallet that works perfectly to get the job done. You could probably even silicon the edges/seams up to make it a pretty moisture friendly habitat.
    Features:
    mesh top, cable pass through on the walls, sturdy mesh top - all fantastic (I really wish I could buy those cable pass through ports separately!), and the packaging? Yes that's a feature - excellent packing and shipping.
    Doors:
    The integrated tracks are nice, but the thin nature of material needed to fit the tracks means the acrylic is VERY flexible - so much so that you can easily push your finger between the panels at the midpoint. This isn't really a concern for something like most lizards that don't climb on plastic, but for snakes it's a disaster. ANY snake is going to find that mid point in the doors with only basic exploration and then shove their nose in it - instant escape.
    I had written to them about this and to their credit they DID release an addon for glass doors (although at a $90 price point if I recall), but the doors still fit in that very thin track - meaning I would imagine the glass to be very fragile. Perhaps not something a snake would break easily, but bumping it on your own could lead to disaster quickly. I did a similar mod on my own at home with plastic sliding track, double sided tape, and 1/4" custom cut glass from a local shop. Both pieces of glass were only ~$45 and the track was ~$10 - it works fabulously and these habitats house my snakes in comfort and peace of mind. I feel this is something that dubia should modify their enclosures to be the new standard (wider track, thicker glass), or at least reduce the price of the glass panels they are having as an add-on.
    Stacking/floor panel:
    One of the reasons I got a bunch of these habitats is because they stack - the corner cube is a very neat idea! The problem becomes apparent as soon as you stack them though: the PVC used as the floor sags even under its own weight, and adding any amount of substrate, decor, and then the animal exaggerates this issue. It's not enough sag to pull the piece from the frame, or to actually hit the lower enclosure - but the droop is pronounced enough that things settle towards the middle of the habitat. I worked around this by using a 1" wood cross brace to help support the flooring of the stacked habitats. If you're only using one of these, it's perfectly fine.
    I have not seen any design changes or response to this feedback from the company, again it would require a modification to the frame to allow for thicker PVC and honestly I don't know if that would really do much because PVC is by default flexible. Perhaps dividing the floor panel into 2 or 3 smaller pieces, with cross pieces of aluminum in the frame to provide rigid support - but who knows what they could do and keep the excellent price point and rapid production (which is very much needed in the hobby). Again it's a feature that is really only relevant to some, so the drive to make it a standard is not a critical one.
    I'm not trying to neg on their work or the habitat itself by any means; like I said I have eight of these habitats and at this time The majority of them house snakes of a size and curious nature to be somewhat determined escape artists (2 MBK's, 2 rat snakes, a black pine snake) and they frequently search along the door edges like I would expect. For the others (a BTS, baby black roughneck monitor) the habitat is perfectly serviceable as-is. I still have one more 4x2x2 in a box that I'm deciding what I want to do with it.
    To sum up - this is an EXCELLENT habitat for the price point, with the caveat that if people want to house certain animals in them (IE snakes) or take full advantage of them (IE stacking) then there are certain considerations to keep in mind when purchasing.

I wish I had seen this video before I put mine together, though, because I originally assembled it without realizing there was plastic on the PVC panels. The instructions didn't mention anything about it, so I just thought the panels were weirdly reflective and slightly damaged. I was a lot happier about the whole thing after figuring out they just had film that needed to be removed. All that is to say: The work you put in filming and talking about the plastic removal in this video was not in vain! It would definitely have helped me. Thanks for this!

    Yes pay attention while assembling. If you do you won’t have an issue. Fortunately I was very careful and didn’t have to undo any of it . I could tell it would be a hassle and I knew I wanted to avoid that. Great video Cliff. GoHerping helped me with mine (think he was the first to make a video of these) but we do need more videos!

    I love your content so much! I used to have a bearded dragon named Tesla (after the scientist) but he sadly passed a couple of years ago. A side note- you remind me SO much of my piano professor, I’m a music education major. Like, your fascination and commitment to reptiles is almost spot on to that of my professor’s but, y’a know, piano. Again, I love your content so much!!

    I left that "surgical tubing" stuff on the edge of the glass door but cut about an inch off the end so the door fit in the groove. I think it helps keep the doors from rattling or banging against each other when you're sliding them. It just makes them have a nice tight fit. But I could be wrong.

    Really really wish I had known of these when my son picked up a couple free geckos as one of his friends was moving. Nothing free is ever free of course. The enclosure from local retail stores cost over 300. Nice enough but this is so much nicer in my opinion. And you were right about the process being more than reasonable. Great job Dubai! And thanks Clint for pointing people towards a great looking product.

    Save those nice silicone door protectors for use on the edges of doors on enclosures for tiny geckos like mourning geckos to eliminate gaps their hatchlings might escape. Keeps them out of landfills, too. :)

    I’m glad you said leopard gecko because I never hear people say that and I actually have my 2 yr old leopard gecko in a 4x2x2 with custom reptile habitats side and background ledges and he definitely enjoys ALL of it! If people would not be so locked in on a smaller enclosure I think they would see more benefits in this size for a leopard gecko with so much more to explore and use! Add led plus a uvb and deep heat projector with slate hides and coverage and trust me the difference in their behavior is amazing!!

    Definitely goes together better if you build it on a solid surface. Hard floor or truck tailgate. Built my first one on a padded carpet floor and it seemed to want to bounce itself apart when I’d whack it with the hammer. Hard to getthe corners butted up tight. Used a hard surface on my second one and it’s easier.

    having worked in a metal factory, the peeling is easier if you take a piece of tape and roll it sticky side out around your thumb to help start it. then make sure its flat on the ground and use your weight as leverage.

    I've had my beardie in one the last few months. She did scratch the doors up pretty well though already and I recommend just using glass doors with anything that will scratch right off the bat. Otherwise, I love the tanks! I may be investing in one of the backgrounds soon. I enjoy the red background!

    Honestly the thin piece at the bottom makes so much sense after I've seen this but not something I'd think of if I were given the task of designing an eclosure.
    Just goes to show how much thought has gone into this and both of the backdrop options look unbelievably cool too, especially considering they are a single piece inserts each. When looking at the red one, i thought the backdrop was going to be theee pieces, one for the back and two for the sides.
    Such an elegant solution! 😅

    I got the same enclosure a few months ago for a corn snake, easy to put together and a great value. But yeah I made the same mistakes early on and put the frame pieces on the wrong way and got things upside down and backwards, but it wasn't too difficult to take it back apart and fix it, but was definitely a waste of time lol.

    Thank you for posting this video. I am going to be needing to upgrade my ball python enclosure this year and need a reasonable priced PVC enclosure. I have been thinking of buying some more reptiles so this site will come in handy.
    I also would love to request an in depth video on feeding bearded dragons. I can barely find anything on feeding schedules online to have an idea of what a normal week of feeding is like. I mostly just see what to feed them and what to avoid. I’d like to know how to house the insects between feedings and how much they might eat at a time.
