So did you ever think I would actually finish this video? Lol! I know it took a really long time and hopefully you understand after seeing the final product. As I said in the video if you found this difficult to follow, I will do an abridged version of this demo for the smaller enclosures that will be stacked on top of this one. I will also release another video that goes more in depth as to how exactly this one works. Stay tuned for next week because that's when we will do the setup for my Kingsnake Whodini! For those of you you don't know you can follow me on Instagram @serpadesign for project sneak peaks, updates and more content like this. I showed snippets of this project as I worked on it and I will do the same for future projects.

At first I thought "this thing is definitly going to fall apart when he tries to pick it up". By the end of the video it was clear that you could probably park a truck on top of that thing. This design takes the word "sturdy" to a whole new level.

As a fellow craftsman/hobbyist I have a great deal of respect for the level of work that must have gone into this. I love the final colour of the wood and I can't wait to see how you kit out the inside :D

I rarely ever comment on any videos, but this time I feel like I have to say I truly was impressed with this build. It's not only aesthetically pleasing, but it also looks functional to your needs and built to last. Good job!

Great build. I'm not convinced that the magnetic 'clasps' would resist an Olive python pushing against the doors, but I love your 45 deg centre bracing-less door design. Well done, and thank you for the video

Easily one of the best, most informative, NOT boring, DIY terrarium building videos I've seen. Thanks a bunch!!

Blown away by the amount of work you've done, not only on the enclosure but also on the video! Epic. The braceless doors are awesome.

One of my favorite things about owning pets is setting up enclosures for them, so I love to see someone who does the same. I’m a college student in an apartment and don’t have much time or money to do the projects I would like, but I’m trying to put together some tools so I can do more on my own. I’m lucky this is one of my favorite things because at the end of the day it clearly benefits the critters, and yours are no exception. Keep up the good work! I hope I can one day do the same!

I envy your sense of patience and eye for detail. Your videos are always informative and thorough.

WOW! I am impressed! This is beautiful! I also love the wood stain. You have some great wood working/ carpentry skills. I wish I had all of the tools that you have. Thanks for sharing 😊

Designing the doors WITHOUT the sides that would block the view in the middle area is an awesome idea

Man, I would love to build something like this for my boa one day. Gorgeous interior and exterior, lots of space inside, really clever design features. Just stunning.

Thats alot of work compared to the way I build things but you cannot argue with the end result. Beautiful build

Thank you for sharing this! I especially appreciate that you didn't skip showing us any steps....I'm not very experienced with building, but I have a 7 foot long boa and she is STRONG. Finding instructions that are so carefully explained and thoroughly shown is really helpful. :)

This new enclosure came out FANTASTIC! I'm sure Dean loves it! I really loved your video too. All your videos are relaxing and I could watch and listen to you build new things all day.

You. Are. A. Genius!! I can't decide if this is the best herpetoculture video, best DIY video or best construction video I've ever seen! Not only can I appreciate the planning that went into the construction and design, but all the camera angles/time-lapses and close-ups don't happen by themselves. That took a lot of work and you made a great video. Great job!

This is not only an excellent video but an absolutely amazing enclosure. Thank you for all of the work you put into not only your passion but also sharing it with others.

For those without all the tools, time, money, and space to build, I suggest getting an old secondhand dresser drawer, then gut the inside and add plexiglass to the front, etc.

Great design, overkill on everything, furniture quality, excellent job.

I love your tutorials and learn so much from them! This one is probably my favorite one yet, this enclosure is a gorgeous work of art! (And of course functional too) You did an amazing job!

Literally blew my mind how you did the doors lmao. You have so much skill it's impeccable.

I’m a cabinet maker and for the tools that you had at hand you did a great job

this is carpentry level building.. i see so many people talking about the clamps..it helps with the drying process and helps it stay is place instead of sliding or moving before its dry. Very nicely done.

Everything is absolutely beautiful!! The video, your work precision and of course the gorgeous enclosure. No wonder it's been 3 yrs in the making. Fantastic! 😍

This dude is layered plywood crazy!! Such an epic masterpiece tho. I definitely respect the attention to detail and amount of patience it took to plan and build all this!

Wow! I’m tired now! I think I’m going to have nightmares about being attacked by wood glue spitting clamps. Great enclosure! You should be proud of it!

Beautiful. What a great job you did. I love the natural look of finished wood enclosures.

FYI, the light compartment needs proper ventilation holes otherwise it will overheat. Since the enclosure is made of wood, it might even burn your house down. Nice job on the rest of it!

Unless he uses old lights, filament lighting, there is almost no risk of fire from the four holes he drilled in there. A 150 watt florescent bulb only uses 13-24 watts of power. It'll be snake friendly temps. Not to mention the gaps of the panel doors and thin paneling will easily transfer heat out. LED lighting uses even less wattage for the same light output. Only IR light generates massive heat. Florescent and LED lights have almost no IR spectrum light. They barely have any spectrum. Just equal peaks of red green and blue, normally. That is why they hurt many people's eyes and are often poor for growing things. Grow lights have more UV and IR and wide spectrum bands of color. Those are more expensive to produce, but still not nearly as hot as filament bulbs or halogen bulbs, which are better heaters than light sources.

I'm totally blown away with this well thought enclosure. Amazing craftsmanship! Kudos man!

I just want to say you are my hero. The care and effort you put into making all your enclosures as well as taking time to make sure your animals are happy inspires me every day to try and do the same. I always reference your videos and knowledge for my home projects with my animals and plants. You're just so awesome! Thanks for all the great content, old and new. :)

Yeah I don't think they're as bad as I had initially thought. Thanks for the input.

You know why I keep coming back, Tanner? You explain without being condescending or making many assumptions. I am an intelligent person, and can do almost anything on my own with enough research and tools. I also understand all skills require practice, patience, and the right materials. And a lot of failure. But with your videos, I have learned how to take materials like egg crate louver panels, corrugated plastic, glues and silicones, and landscaping foam and incorporate those into some of my projects. I also learned what is the best silicone and glue to use. GE silicone 1, and Gorilla super glue gel. :) Heck I may even make a terrarium sometime soon! Keep up the great work.

I actually do carpentry and never think to upload a good DIY. I caught this in auto play but thought I'd stop to say nice work. Chers!

I appreciate the total lack of shoes in this video.

❤ ❤ ❤ the structure! ❤ amazing job and incredible planning!

Love this! I'm thinking of having an ackies in the future and a custom build would be so awesome. Any way you could make a "shopping list" of sorts for the items you used (particularly the hardware)?

Just got my main structure finished today (based on the ideas and instructions you provided in this video). I will make sure to give you credit if it ever makes any online appearances. Looks great so far to me. Thank you so much!

So excited to begin this project. I'll be using this process to make my 25" x 12" x 12" Leopard Gecko bioactive vivarium over the winter. Thank you for taking the time to film this for us! :))

A true inspiration for what I was looking for to build!!! Great work!! Incredible enclosure you have made well thought out and planed with high efficiency and strength!

Wow. Great work, Tanner!

I built a very nice iguana enclosure back in the 90’s. It looked like a nice piece of furniture any almost any decor. I also built a matching stand and fully enclosed hood for the light fixtures. I got a ton of compliments from both hobbyist and non-hobbyists alike. Since then, I have considered 99% of the enclosure builds on KZread either lacking in most respects or outright trash. Until now. I’m shocked at your attention to detail and overall consideration for structure, function, and forethought. Bravo! To think, I almost left your video whenever I saw that you were using 1/4” plywood...

Lost for words. This is bloody marvelous, my man.

Anyone else whisper out loud, a couple times, I love this guy? ha

ABSOLUTELY Great and wow! so great a job of work!!!! good job Tanner

Amazing build, Serpa. Really inspirational.

That is really neat! I love that you stained the wood instead of painting it. It can really make even the cheapest wood look really nice! Great job! :D

Wow. That goes so far beyond what I have planned. Nice work.

That is a BEAUTIFUL tank. You really did a fantastic job

Thanks for all the details and thought processes. I’m adapting this to my needs for my boa soon. Trouble is I’m not a woodworker, and don’t have tools. So the build will take me forever

That build is just absolutely beautiful brilliant work!

This is really amazing! Can't wait to see Houdini in it!
