View Full Version : Dream Enclosures!
Warning, picture heavy thread)
Looking through pintrist, I have come across some gorgeous and awesome enclosures and would love to share them with you. I also would love to see your dream enclosures too! Whether it cost a fortune or only a little, specially made or a DIY ; let's see them! I will gradually post pics as I find them so feel free to post your faves! Could also make it a little more interesting by adding what you'd put in them.
Ill get this started...

For my big dreams. Wondering if a retic would be happy in this... probably not...

I love how easy this would be. Not to mention would be able to house various species (I would add extra "levels" or shelves to provide more surface area to roam I think)

looks good for corns or rosy boas i think. Smaller version for crested/garg geckos I think.
Reminder, I do not claim any of these. All right to their owners. I just really like these. (Little habit I picked up on DeviantArt. just being sure nobody is confused).

Perfect for a chameleon of some sort (with mesh) or a BRB (glass) I think.
(I have realized this may or may not be the wrong forum to put this thread... if any mods see apropriate, please move it to the right place if needed. I won't make another so we don't have multiples floating aroundXD thanks^.=.^)

Put more depth to that and a retic would love it, but personally I would remove a lot of those branches. It would be a bit of a workout just to get our female out of there now if she didn't want to, not alone when she's full grown ;)

That would make an awesome display setup for an arboreal boa or python. I'm wondering how they cut the glass and sealed it all up though.

I would one day like my female green anaconda have a zoo exhibit in my house with a tree strong enough to hold her up, a basking area, and a soaking pool with built in filtration.

I agree the glass looks weak and might break too easily. I don't know what it was initially meant for either:/
I just found out about Kalatoa retics... want one...I need to research more about retics...
*uses the largest room in the house to keep snakes* " no, he won't get out and no he doesn't mind the noise" XD I'm gonna be the crazy snake lady lolNoby will want to break into my house though.
I love these enclosures. I will surely have a coffee table enclosure...
This is what I put together for my giant day gecko. When my boa is ready for an adult enclosure I think I will definitely convert a piece of furniture again.. it was lots of fun to do!

You did a killer job on that viv! How is it doing so far? How is it handling snake waste? (Obviously you still have to spot clean, right?)

Thank you! Yes always keep an eye on craiglist (or kijiji if you are Canadian like me!), I picked up this cabinet for $50 only.
This guy has a pretty cool set up with good instruction:

Make sure you watch part 2 as well to see the finished product! What do you guys think about that 3 in 1 paint... is that safe??
Go to the jworlds site and look at their photos, it will make you drool.

I really would like to have an atrium room that my snake could live in. I'd also like to have a large indoor/outdoor enclosure for some type of monitor or tegu.

I'll just make a few minor adjustments to my mansion and have this ready in a week or two.

happiest iguana ever lol(I think its an iguana at least XD)
@David – those are some great enclosures.
Here is my dream enclosure. It’s obviously the enclosure I am keeping my tiger ratsnakes (Spilotes pullatus) in.

Telling of enclosures, I'm also on a chameleon forum. A few months ago a guy posted a build he just finished for his chameleons. He has a spare bed room the he plexiglassed out. Put a drain in it. Put live plants in it. Had awesome lights. He put a water sprinkler system in it and put it on a timer. It was awesome.

I've been trying to get it to upload. I thought it did when I made that post. But for some reason it won't let me. Could be that I'm on a phone?

Might be because that forum is closed/private?

Could be. I'll have to look. But I'm at my favorite saltwater store right now. Lol

I'm on the chameleonforums, don't know if it's the same one you're on, but I'd LOVE to see that! I'm building an armoire out right now and have it on that forum. Looking here as I plan to build out an enclosure for a BRB.
Let us know if you find a way to share it!
