Really like your new videos learning a lot thank you

They used aluminum extrusions, basiclly lego for adults for quick strong framing for science equipment or whatever

I checked out the cages. I really like them. Looks easy to keep clean and love the closed sides and back. I have had it with taking a screen off the top of my current one. I am almost ready to commit (if they ship to Canada).... But I might hold out for PURPLE 💜. Greatest appreciation ❤

Thank you for walking us through this enclosure review! Could you do a BlackBoxCages enclosure review someday? I’m curious if they are easy to build and am interested in hearing your feedback about the quality of the enclosure!

First and foremost- finally a great design 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 ***Question 1*** When are they going to come out with a 6 or 8 foot cage option? ***Question 2*** Can you persuade them to have an alternate option for a solid PVC top- rather than screen?

@NewEnglandReptile

Ай бұрын

Both great questions but as I understand this is a new cage so It will take some time. Since they come from China it’s giant containers full of the ones in most demand. These are not made in house at reptile basics.

That is a pretty cool setup!! I like how easy it is to put together.

I had one of their old 4 foot cages had a solid pvc top to it this one has a nice screen top👍🏻

Great enclosure, but you have to seal the side panels, back, and dam at the bottom or it will leak when spraying/misting. I use Lexal instead of silicone.

@NewEnglandReptile

Ай бұрын

Agreeeeed. The bottom 1” or so is water tight though. This plastic is not the same as the pvc we try to silicon and fail. This looks like silicone and it’s sticking very well. Quite solid!

Pumping those videos out! Did you receive my letter yet? My comments about Snarfles were my subtle ways of asking if you received it. Cool enclosure, my latest enclosure is a clear shoe box, I love how affordable bugs are. I'm good with my one snake, otherwise it's bugs. I'm starting to fall in love with isopods now. Okay, enough blabbing from me, enjoy your weekend.

I put together a VERY similar tank a few months ago, I put he top on backwards also. there are a few minor things aboutthe design of that tank I like more than I do the one I have.

If all else fails 😂 Read the instructions!😂😂😂😂❤ Love this channel…..Kevin you are the Man

The top of our Ball Python enclosure for my best buddy in the whole wide world, Sans, is like that. To keep the humidity in, we just cut some cardboard out of a box we had laying around and it's perfect. Fully bioactive... Minus the plants. There is plant. The one slow he has, in all his magnanimous kindness allowed to live... for now... mostly... when I plant it back into the substrate... again... for the 10th time... ...today.

Same. They wouldn't meet FWC specs for my prohibited though either, sadly.

I was actually JUST shopping for a bigger cage for my growing BP, and was looking at the competitor's version. Given that this one has the water-tight seal, more streamlined assembly, AND I saved just about $30 bucks, it was a no-brainer! The only part that's a mild bummer is that they are sold out of the purple version of the cage!

Loving it! Even I could put that together.

One of the quiet ones here but watching this video has me wanting to ask a question. What would Kev recommended as housing for an Egyptian Uromastyx? Im talking the enclosure, substraight, live or fake plants, water, lighting etc? I've veen thinking about it for a while and would really love an experts input.

Once the stack blocks and light spacers come into play. These are superior to bang together kits.

Great review. I found the muscle racks from Manards works better than the spacers personally. Most racks I found are a touch too small but the muscle racks fit perfectly.

Everywhere I look, everyone keeps getting the Wish version of PVC enclosures. Granted they may cost cheaper, but they are also built cheaper. The pvc isn’t strong enough, thick enough, or durable. I’ve heard of leaks, I’ve heard of chips and cracks from many keepers using these “Made in China” enclosures. I’ve seen quality test that show these badly manufactured enclosures fail under pressure. I’d rather have a customized reptile enclosure that is built to withstand years to come than a poor attempt at building a foldable, breakable, cheaply manufactured wanna be cardboard box.
