People keep mentioning this enclosure is out of stock, but it's actually just dropshipped from China lol. You can buy it on Chewy with my affiliate link here: prf.hn/l/aQw0NpV
This is a knock off mine came with glass doors and the fit was so tight the send a special hammer to tap the parts together mine has no rattle or shake what so ever
Can we just take a second to also mention what a wonderful company Dubia is? They donate so much time and money to reptile rescues and other charities.
Alex, thanks for the review! Regarding the bottom connector piece, I think it may have gotten loose when you pulled the enclosure apart! You can add a small bit of thread seal tape from a hardware store for $0.99 or we can send a new connector if it’s broken!
Im actually kind of shocked that this thing is cheaper then the company we do not name and is actually a functioning cage. like you'd think if it were cheaper it would be about the same quality as the somehow completely defective cage you got.
Clearly next you have to try the Custom Reptile Habitat X Leopard Gecko enclosure ☺️☺️. Just remember with the black mesh that you’ll probably need to use a slightly strong UV lamp as black mesh blocks a lot out.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Custom Reptile Habitats, and watching the recent Snake Discovery video, they put together each enclosure before shipping so all the parts should fit.
They look awesome would love to get one but I find them a bit overpriced. I mean I know reptile tanks are expensive as is but still. I'm still getting one nonetheless
Mine literally just got delivered on Wednesday! I was surprised to see a pvc enclosure so cheap but I took the deal. I think they recommend on the website going in and using silicone on the bottom if you want the enclosure to hold a finer substrate but honestly it looks pretty good without adding anything Also a 50% of the proceeds get donated to women’s rights organizations for the next three months.
hate how companies make pet keeping annoying because theyd rather make the price of their product 20x the price of what it was made from just to kinda persuade people in a way to not buy certain pets because of that price. great video
And at the same time, they’re convincing children to buy those pets because of the bright colors (of some hamster enclosures) and follow their bad care guides.
@@meowthekitty321 Yup. "Iguanas are super cool! You should buy one from us and buy our care kit with our 5000 dollar enclosure that costed 150 dollars to make!". Its annoying. Alot of companies do this with chameleons. Sure, their oretty and unique but they make it look so ez on their websites/stores and make kits that cost hundreds... But in reality, their extremely un hardy and dont live long. We needa support smaller companies that dont do what some mega giants do and support the reliable companies that dont do such things.
Yes! My dad built me a pvc and only spent $125 on stuff to make it, The only company I agree with the high price of our vision cages because of how high-quality they are and how long they will last, my friend has had hers for over 35 years and if she told me she got it last month I would believe her lol
I kind of like how aggressively and not carefully Alex builds it 😆 if you think about it, a lot of random customers are going to just bang it together too, so you can really see how it'll hold up.
I recently tested this enclosure and I have experience with Zen, Vision, Showcase, Blackbox, Focus, Dragonhaus, ExoTerra, Zilla, ZooMed, Thrive, and Cryptic, and Carolina Custom Cages. I was shockingly pleased with this. I have a Carpet Python in it and so far no complaints, I’m happy with the enclosure and the price is so inexpensive.
@@alexz3t899 I am happy with Blackbox Cages, Focus Cubed Habitats, Showcase Enclosures, Vision, and the new Zen Meridian but it depends on what I’m housing.
I recently just bought this enclosure and it just came in. I am BEYOND happy with it. Everything went together so smoothly, and for someone who has medical issues lifting things- the lightweight was a godsend. My beardie is happier than ever in his new mansion! I bought this enclosure just because of this video, as I’ve been looking for a 4x2! So thank you Alex!
I got mine a couple weeks ago and LOVE them. We had one single handle screw missing. Biggest complaint is the static electricity build up. They attracted every shed hair off three dogs and a cat!!!
The newer V2 Dubai enclosure comes with the screen top assembled and the screws are black. I didn't reserve directions, but it comes with a small silver door lock that goes in between the overlap of the glass. Mine has been tested by a toddle and passed. I haven't gotten my snake yet. It was really hard to put the sides of the foundation together, but I feel like it's pretty sturdy.
I helped put one of these together for someone, and really liked it! Setup was pretty straight forward, and we also sealed around the bottom to prevent any leaks. I can't wait to get one of my own someday soon!
I’d definitely recommend this for larger snakes, I keep my adult ball python in a similar enclosure and she seems to thrive in it. It’s a bit big for her but I put in some extra hides and greenery
I actually bought mine from there a while back and i actually really like it.i paid 180ish i think. It was way cheaper and i wanted to upgrade my rescue beardie really badly. I haven't had any issues with it so far.
I have one of these enclosures for my bearded dragon and while I am very happy with the price I do have some problems. That middle section where the two glass panes overlaps gets dirty and its almost impossible to clean without disassembling. My bearded dragon also loves to glass surf and because of the metal potruding out form the glass wall his nails were getting cut very short by constantly scratching at it. He started bleeding and all his nails have become extremely short and the vet said to cover the bottom part with felt or paper to minimize this.
I got a MUCH more expensive pvc enclosure from a different company and it was pvc on top which ended up being a bad thing. It was holding WAY too much heat like an oven and I ended up having to drill a bunch of 1/2" holes in the top for ventilation. I like the screen top on this enclosure much better!
I have an enclosure almost identical to this from Symtom. I believe the only difference is the bottom panel is PVC for mine instead of acrylic, and the emblem and logo is different, of course.
Thanks for reviewing that enclosure. I've been looking at getting that one because it's the cheapest one I've seen. Good to know that it's not only affordable, but good quality too.
I was going to get one of these but they sold out almost immediately 😭 I ended up going with Reptizoo and can't complain. Similar assembly, except it's an all glass enclosure.
I have had an Exo Terra 36x18x18 for about a year now, for my leopard gecko. I have about 4-5" of Semi-Arid substrate from Josh's Frogs. I have been leery of ordering PVC enclosures (at least ones in my price range) online and local glass enclosure options are limited. Nice to know that the Dubia choices are likely to be of sufficient quality AND price. I use them exclusively for feeders and have always received good product for a fair price.
Alex I’m thrilled you are being brutally honest. I will never buy anything again that needs such assembly! To many bad experiences that would leave one traumatized. Companies that really stand by their products should love to have you do a review.
you guys i just got my ball python i’m so excited! she’s my first but i’ve taken care of snakes for years. despite this i’ve watched everyone of goherpings videos because he’s literally so helpful
I’m actually glad I saw this because I was saving up for the Zen habitat enclosures… I mean I always thought they were overpriced, but man does this habitat have better quality
I can’t wait till the one I ordered is shipped and gets here. Hopefully I like it. More importantly hopefully my Bearded Dragon likes it. I rescued him from a family that couldn’t care for him anymore. He was rarely held and his diet was off. We got that corrected and I believe we gave him his first bath he ever had and he absolutely loved it.
I was so freakin nervous watching this because I had literally just bought one and expect it on the 11th. If you were this positive about it… I’m super excited now lol!! Let’s see if it can handle spray foam and drylock 🤣😂
I bought a PVC enclosure off ebay from some guy that made the kits. it was about $100 more than this one but the PVC was about 1/2 inch thick, tempered glass doors, has that 4 inch strip across the bottom front like this one (PVC black not the clear) but also has a 4 inch strip across the top front and came with a hydrometer and thermometer that mounted in that top part. also didnt have a mesh top but PVC and has these big vented slots on the sides. also came with a light fixture that mounted to the roof of the enclosure. was also put together with screws not just knocked together like this one. had it about 4 years now, mounted a humidity controller to it for the vicks cool mist humidifier i use to keep the humidity up. the humidity controller is nice it only kicks the humidifier on when it hits certain threshold and back off once the desired humidity is reached. used the enclosure for my indo blue tongue skink, they have a pretty high humidity requirement. that bottom corner might have become looser from when you had to pull it back apart.
i bought this not thay long ago as an upgrade for my beardie and id def say its worth it even tho the instructions are messed up on a few parts and construction can take a hot minute, especially if u mess up on a certain part but would highly recommend especially with how cheap it is
I imagine the mesh screen comes preassembled because inexperienced people are more likely to cut themselves on the wires. The corners of the PVC are obs sharp but far less hazardous to the oblivious.
All of my enclosures are Dubia enclosures. Cheap, easy to assemble, light, and sleek. Wonderful 6:36 they do ship it like that nowadays. They also turned the pvc door to glass
Thanks for this! I've wanted to redo my reptile rescue's room with one type of enclosure and get rid of the heavy glass ones. I don't like the one Zen Habitat I have and would love to get rid of it. This company was at the top of my list, and I like that they are stackable.
I’ve been thinking about buying a DragonHaus cage for a while now, but they are so incredibly expensive once you start to get into all of the add-ons. This definitely looks like a great alternative!
DragonHaus quality and attention to detail gets a solid F- from me. I will never ever ever order from them again. I drove to their warehouse to pick up a trailer and truck bed full of enclosures. We didn't get everything we ordered, we were charged the wrong amount, the seams were terrible and there were so many intersecting lines. It was just a really bad expererince and really ugly cages. I sold them off at a large loss.
I have this for my bearded dragon. Love dubia they came in clutch when I rescued my daughters bearded dragon from her dad's house. I thought this would take forever to put together because of it's size but it was super quick
Since it's for a blue tongue skink, you could probably try adding in something to use as a substrate shield, and give the blue tongue space to burrow (since you made a mention of the enclosure being too tall.) EDIT: Added in the content in the parentheses
I like watching you just so you can diss on the haters. But I also like watching you for your knowledge with reptiles. Thanks keep it up and keep telling the haters how it is
I was tempted to buy this enclosure though I'm probably going to build my own. I'm concerned that keeping it warm will be difficult with the thin walls.
I literally JUST got this enclosure in the mail the other day for my BTS as well for $249! Haven’t assembled it yet but now super excited to! Hopefully we see a video on how you set this up for olive😁
@@joseg5913 I put it together and I love it! It’s good quality and looks nice and sleek. Currently making a background for it right now. I think it’ll work great and for the price definitely can’t beat it
I’m really glad you’re doing these habitat reviews. I was recently enticed by a sale price on a Paw Hut habitat that was mostly pvc and not suitable for most reptiles.
Ngl these look so nice, I'm impressed by the quality for the price. I might have to consider getting a few of these for my living room, they'd be great for displaying colorful snakes/setups.
I was seriously considering buying this enclosure for my adult ball python and this video finally convinced me. They seriously need to compensate you for the honesty of this vid, it’s a “”cheap”” enclosure but it’s really well made for the price! Plus they’re stackable so man does that make me want to buy more
Coming from the salt water reef world I have been absolutely APALLED at what companies are charging for enclosures. Finally a quality product at a fair price.
I really do think you just got unlucky with your Zen Habitats enclosure. I've gotten three 4x2x2's from them and, apart from a few of the corner pieces being hard to get in, they've all been great and easy to put together.
I love that you called out the haters! You know what? I made 35k for you guys being mad and me making a video! Im with you bro, say what they want and you worry about that paper.
Can I just say. Thank you for recording putting they enclosure together like 90% op people do. Haha. By that I mean not super careful and tiptoeing abound every piece. I love it. And I want this enclosure!
I can’t believe this was only a year ago, I would have never guessed this is what the reptile community would look like rn 😢 Glad you’ve been seemingly doing well tho don’t get me wrong! It’s nice that you’re doing your own thing
I have two of these, one for my beardie and one for the ball python I’m getting at the end of august (: I really like them! I will say, as the instructions recommend, if you’re going to have a more humid or wet substrate, you’ll want to either seal the bottom with silicone or put something else in the bottom to prevent any leaks! All in all though these are my favorite affordable enclosures
@@rachelmccready44 if you don’t want to seal it with 100% silicone, you can get thick black plastic and lay it down. Just make sure it goes up over the sides a bit so it helps prevent any leaking. Then cover it all with substrate (: that’s what I did
Luv you 4 the video! I was totally intimidated and my generation are used to the traditional heavy, impossible lifting- back breaking glass! Lol. I want to upgrade in a large enclosure for my Indonesian BTS! Glad the instillation is not brain surgery! Getting a new chair with it being leather this time killed me in trying to get the back cushion installed- plus having hot flashes- being female sux! Anywho you rocked!!😂 Thanks!🎉
I bought that one. It was the cheapest pvc enclosure and I got it quick. I like it so far. I think I paid 229 for mine and if I'm not mistaken it wasn't a shipping cost. I had an issue with that corner too but it was user error.
i bought one of their 4x2x2 when they were on sale and its worked great for me. different branding but definitely same enclosure. even the two tone hammer
Thank you for the video. We are currently looking for a habitat upgrade for our son's ball python. I guess I am wondering if you have any ideas on which housing best keeps humidity and warm air in, instead of just escaping out of the top?
I hated how loud it was banging it together and my dragon isn’t fond of the reflective sides and back but overall I do like my Dubia enclosure. Also, there was a piece missing and they took care of it and got the replacement part to me super fast.
yeah this seems pretty good to me. oh and a baby corn snake will go right out the gap in between the doors, but yeah. As for the looseness of the joints I get that could be fixed with 2 part apoxy to keep it together, but it would never come apart then
Watching for second time before I put my new arrival together. Not that it’s an instructional video per say but still the fact that you didn’t use instructions is the push I need to overcome my “new assembly” anxiety which is even worse than my “he only has one sock on” anxiety - hence my ability to watch that atrocity again.😏
it's funny you mentioned the corn snake thing because I have been keeping my eye on this enclosure for my adult corn snake but I wasn't sure if it would be secure enough
If you didn't have to worry about money and price, what would you suggest is a great enclosure for a larger snake? Something pretty smooth inside where my retic can't push against or get caught on? Something with a recessed door? Any help or advice from anyone here would be great! Thank you!
People keep mentioning this enclosure is out of stock, but it's actually just dropshipped from China lol. You can buy it on Chewy with my affiliate link here: prf.hn/l/aQw0NpV
10 months later 😭
I believe the Dubia ones have glass doors now though whereas the Symton version still has the plexiglass.
This is a knock off mine came with glass doors and the fit was so tight the send a special hammer to tap the parts together mine has no rattle or shake what so ever
Can we just take a second to also mention what a wonderful company Dubia is? They donate so much time and money to reptile rescues and other charities.
And they have stellar products. Only place I can find reasonably priced baby hornworms for my small leopard gecko.
I'm in the UK so I can't order from them :,( lol
Okay now I'm definitely buying 🙂
@Brittni L.....out of all reptiles, which ones is your favorite, snakes or lizards?....if you don't mind me asking...
they sent literally like prob 1000$ worth of feeders to a friend of ours rescue
Alex, thanks for the review! Regarding the bottom connector piece, I think it may have gotten loose when you pulled the enclosure apart! You can add a small bit of thread seal tape from a hardware store for $0.99 or we can send a new connector if it’s broken!
Wait you guys have a TH-cam? 🤣🤣
Immediately subscribing 🤣
@@usernamedaniedmrg Same 😂
Been looking for a better priced cage this size, and now finally found it! I will be making a purchase soon :)
is there a way to use this tank vertically?
I'm on the waiting list for one. I missed the email last time they came into stock. Hopefully they come into stock soon!
I love brutally honest reviews like this. It makes me trust the product more.
Im actually kind of shocked that this thing is cheaper then the company we do not name and is actually a functioning cage. like you'd think if it were cheaper it would be about the same quality as the somehow completely defective cage you got.
*than.
You also shouldn't be surprised. Price is not scaled based on quality
Clearly next you have to try the Custom Reptile Habitat X Leopard Gecko enclosure ☺️☺️. Just remember with the black mesh that you’ll probably need to use a slightly strong UV lamp as black mesh blocks a lot out.
He should try every reptile brand 😀😅

The doors are actually acrylic, not PVC. I’m putting one together right now. Looks great so far!
Coming from the salt water reef world I have been absolutely APALLED at what companies are charging for enclosures. Finally a quality product at a fair price.
I really do think you just got unlucky with your Zen Habitats enclosure. I've gotten three 4x2x2's from them and, apart from a few of the corner pieces being hard to get in, they've all been great and easy to put together.
I love that you called out the haters! You know what? I made 35k for you guys being mad and me making a video! Im with you bro, say what they want and you worry about that paper.
Way, way better looking than Zen Habitats. I think I found my next enclosure!! Thanx!!
Right as I noticed 4:20 on the tv, your editor zoomed in on it without any commentary and I cracked up 🤣
Can I just say. Thank you for recording putting they enclosure together like 90% op people do. Haha. By that I mean not super careful and tiptoeing abound every piece. I love it. And I want this enclosure!
I can’t believe this was only a year ago, I would have never guessed this is what the reptile community would look like rn 😢 Glad you’ve been seemingly doing well tho don’t get me wrong! It’s nice that you’re doing your own thing
Does anyone know what kind of top that is? Like mesh or metal?
metal screen
I have two of these, one for my beardie and one for the ball python I’m getting at the end of august (: I really like them! I will say, as the instructions recommend, if you’re going to have a more humid or wet substrate, you’ll want to either seal the bottom with silicone or put something else in the bottom to prevent any leaks! All in all though these are my favorite affordable enclosures
What would you suggest to put on the bottom ?
@@rachelmccready44 if you don’t want to seal it with 100% silicone, you can get thick black plastic and lay it down. Just make sure it goes up over the sides a bit so it helps prevent any leaking. Then cover it all with substrate (: that’s what I did
To quote the man himself, Alex's nails are brighter than my entire future.
The one sock at 3am doing shit you don't wanna do is such a vibe 😂
I’m sorry but the single sailor moon sock is sending me into orbit
Besides my 8 year old son, you're the only other person I've ever known to willingly wear only one sock.
the one sock is killing me 😭😭😭
For some reason I didn’t get the notification to papa Alex’s new sustenance for his children
Cute… boy
Thanks for the honest review . I might have to go with this one
Luv you 4 the video! I was totally intimidated and my generation are used to the traditional heavy, impossible lifting- back breaking glass! Lol.
I want to upgrade in a large enclosure for my Indonesian BTS!
Glad the instillation is not brain surgery!
Getting a new chair with it being leather this time killed me in trying to get the back cushion installed- plus having hot flashes- being female sux!
Anywho you rocked!!😂
Thanks!🎉
I bought that one. It was the cheapest pvc enclosure and I got it quick. I like it so far. I think I paid 229 for mine and if I'm not mistaken it wasn't a shipping cost. I had an issue with that corner too but it was user error.
Nice video. Love the one Sailor Venus sock ;)
At 13:45, the fact that he is only wearing one sock 😅😅
Still, great video!
i bought one of their 4x2x2 when they were on sale and its worked great for me. different branding but definitely same enclosure. even the two tone hammer
THE DUDE THAT CALLED YOU HER 😭😭😭 you got sexismed😭
Thanks for keeping me company while I eat my dinner alone. Gotta love having covid
My Zen Habitat had the same problem. I used it for 2 months and bought a Kages enclosure.
I the smashed the Zen Habitat with a sledgehammer.
Alex you are soo cranky at 3 am. It’s like watching a video made by my dad..grump grump grump
I really like the look of this enclosure. Great video.
Thank you for the video. We are currently looking for a habitat upgrade for our son's ball python. I guess I am wondering if you have any ideas on which housing best keeps humidity and warm air in, instead of just escaping out of the top?
I almost paid $800 for an enclosure this size. I'm glad I saw this!
Where's your other sock Alex? 🤔
I hated how loud it was banging it together and my dragon isn’t fond of the reflective sides and back but overall I do like my Dubia enclosure. Also, there was a piece missing and they took care of it and got the replacement part to me super fast.
I'm stoked you reviewed this! I've been thinking about getting one for my ball python. Thanks!
yeah this seems pretty good to me. oh and a baby corn snake will go right out the gap in between the doors, but yeah. As for the looseness of the joints I get that could be fixed with 2 part apoxy to keep it together, but it would never come apart then
Watching for second time before I put my new arrival together. Not that it’s an instructional video per say but still the fact that you didn’t use instructions is the push I need to overcome my “new assembly” anxiety which is even worse than my “he only has one sock on” anxiety - hence my ability to watch that atrocity again.😏
it's funny you mentioned the corn snake thing because I have been keeping my eye on this enclosure for my adult corn snake but I wasn't sure if it would be secure enough
With all the information you gave us I am still left with one question why are you wearing only one sock?
Your review helped me decide to buy one yesterday:)
If you didn't have to worry about money and price, what would you suggest is a great enclosure for a larger snake?
Something pretty smooth inside where my retic can't push against or get caught on? Something with a recessed door? Any help or advice from anyone here would be great! Thank you!
