Quick question is that you on the raid shadow legends ad
Btw love your channel

I'm glad you show your mistakes, it happens to the best of us and we can learn from you.😉 The tank looks great by the way!
Always! In the moment it's not fun, but watching them back is always so entertaining to me hahaha.
And thank you! 😊
@@ellesreptiles Happy 4th🎉
I never follow people here who can't be honest to show their mistakes. How else are we supposed to learn?
Girl you deserve so much more attention as reptile keeper. You are so informative while also making things fun, I’ve planned to get a blue tongue for years now. After watching your videos on blue tongues, I really want a baby so badly now. Getting my blue tongue in a couple months, while getting so much information from your videos. Keep up the amazing content and skills, love your work. 🙏🙏❤️
Thank you so much 🥺♥️
I'm so glad the videos have helped, and early congrats on your BTS!
Reptifiles care guides have not steered me wrong yet! Also, thank you for reviewing this enclosure, I was ready to start building plywood boxes but these are more cost effective and weigh far less
First I want to say I really enjoy watching your videos. I just got one of these enclosures for my new male Aquaflame Collard lizard. Now I am waiting for their rock wall backgrounds to come in for it. I used to have a western hognose and he was super adorable. I loved how his scales felt gliding across my arm when holding him. They are rough instead of smooth, but it gives them a unique feel unlike other species. Thanks for a great video!
I just recently got this tank for my beardie Ember, and she loves it so far! I even used one of your old videos to make a backdrop for her (8ft walmart banner, cut and glued to each side and back panel before sliding them in)
Very nice! Also, love the name Ember 😊
I would recommend siliconing the joints prior to adding the substrate. They also come with a clear rubber strip on the edge of the acrylic doors, if you leave it on and just trim it a bit so the doors can slide in the tracks, they will prevent your doors from scratching over time. I love the ones I ordered and will be ordered and will be ordering 12 more.
Im getting this one. I went from wanting a 40 gallon to a 60g to 90g to 120gallon for my beardie. I became more educated as I got into wanting a decent life for my new pet. Ill be getting him/her in 2023.
Update? Did you get your beardie?
@@99SigP quick reply. yes! His name is Henry and he’s my chonky baby. He has his enclosure and dubia roaches. Traveled like 2 hours to pick him up and back. He’s a 5-6 years old now.
@@miaisabeld1956 That's awesome!
I've purchased 2 of these enclosures and highly recommend them. Great value.
Good morning Elle, have an amazing Sunday!! Hog-nose snakes are becoming really popular among reptile collectors. Kinda excited to see him in his new environment!!
Me too! He's got a while, but it's nice knowing that I've got his tank upgrade available for him when the time comes. Have an amazing Sunday! 😊
@@ellesreptiles he's definitely gonna become a fan favorite amongst your followers lol!!
I literally JUST bought this enclosure TODAY! How exciting and I’m sure Osiris is going to love it! I have plans to make mine bioactive for my 2 month old northern blue tongue skink, can’t wait to start on the background!
Oh awesome! Good luck with your bioactive setup 🥰
Thanks for this video!! We are actually trying to decide on which tank to get for our growing beardie. This made up my mind!
Awesome! So glad I could help 😊
I’m really liking this tank, and everything I’m seeing about it. I just learned about it this morning, and have read and seen nothing but good reviews. My ball pythons will be quite happy in one of these.
Haha this is the most relatable tank build I’ve ever seen 😂 I definitely always put things together wrong first and then have to undo and put it together the right way
Haha I just always get distracted and then get ahead of myself 😅
Congratulations on your Hognose, he looks awesome 👏. Hope you are having a great weekend, enjoy 😉
Thank you so much! And I hope you have a fantastic week 😊
Thanks for the review! I think after this and Clint's reviews, it will be the next enclosure I purchase.
I just got their 22 gal the other day for my rosy boa. Best bang for buck enclosure out there, fairly sure! I totally see your vids randomly, but I enjoy them. Thank you! You helped me decide on my first reptile, a uromastyx. That was about seven months ago. Now, I have two uros, two hognoses, a rosy boa, and two dogs, which I already had. 😁🤦♂
Awesome new pet Elle I know he's going to be very happy in his enclosure you did a excellent job today I cleaned my Painted Wood Turtle Shelly and I'm feeding her tuna today she loves it and tomorrow I'm cleaning my Bearded Dragon Bibi tank
YAY so glad you finally got a hognose! They are amazing reptiles!!!! I've found the more cluttered your make their tank the more they want to explore :) Really looking forward to seeing your new reptile room and all the upgrades. My corn snake is in a 6ft tank and she uses every inch of it!
That's good to know! I know my corn snake will use it all too, and I can't wait to see it happen 🥰
And thank you so much!
Wow! I just searched youtube for this enclosure that I got earlier this week. I got it because you had mentioned the website in another video and it's good looking, at about half the price of others. Thank you for doing the video so that I can avoid mistakes! There are 2 pieces of thin shiny metal that came with mine that I don't see in your video. They fit in the groves in the bottom of the window tracts.
This is such a beautiful tank! Congrats on the new hognose!!! He is so sweet! I hope you are having a great day!
Thank you so much! I hope you're having a great day, too 💜
I just set mine up last night!!!! It’s my temp for my baby tegu!
the struggling at the beginning was my favorite part. way too relatable man 😅
😅
I am going to be getting a beardie soon, and I wish I had known about this before I spent far too much on a Zen Habitats enclosure.
Just ordered my 4x2x2 a couple days ago. Super excited!
I didn't even know they had them until they sent me one. Such a beautiful enclosure 😊
Love the new enclosure! I’m saving to buy a larger enclosure for my little guy who will be arriving this week!! 😃😃
Oh awesome! Also congrats! 🎉
I soooo agree with you on feeding beardies dubia roaches I have maybe had 2 die and they are so much easier to keep alive and they like you said are silent and my beardie is so much healthier now and gets fuller faster love learning from your videos
I love hognose snakes! I just got a lavender male at the Tinley show back in March. He's a sweet, sassy boy. These tanks are so cool! I've been seeing them for a while. I believe they just came out with a universal rocks like background for this tank. If it's not for sale yet it will be soon. I love the affordable tank options...hopefully more people will give their reptiles the space they deserve. Hopefully the will offer more size options eventually 😊
Quick addition - given that hognose burrow you might consider keeping the plants in pots indefinitely.
Thank you! I didn't know that about the backgrounds, but thats awesome.
That's a really good idea about keeping the plants in pots. I was going to just skip the real plants for the ball pythons this time, but I might just put some in there in pots. 🤔 Thank you for that!
This is the most underrated youtube channel
🥺♥️ thank you. You're too kind
Love the new tank , love the snake , u did a great job on the design
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for this review. I ordered mine and used your code. Love your videos. Very informative 👏
Thank you so much 💜 I hope you love the tank as much as I do 😊
@@ellesreptiles me too! It's finally coming today. How long should the tank be set up prior to putting a bearded dragon in. It's coming today. And the reptile show is Sunday. Is that enough time?
That baby Hognose is going to love it's enclosure when it's big enough. Can't wait for your new reptile room to be finished. HAPPY 4th of JULY
GOD BLESS 🐍💖🐍💖🐍💖
I'm so excited! Just waiting for the tanks to get here, and then I have so many tank builds to do, everyone is getting upgrades 🥰
Have a happy 4th!
@@ellesreptiles
I hope you show us all the tank builds and setups I enjoy getting ideas from those.
GOD BLESS 🎉🎊
This is a cool tank! I may consider buying this to replace the one we have. It looks nicer, lol. Congrats on the hog nose snake!
Thank you! He's so cool 🥺
How are the gaps or openings on the enclosure? If you were looking to house a smaller species of snake, are there gaps at the sliding doors? I’ve been going back and forth between this and another one and love that you reviewed this one!
Can you use the double sided tape on a background if the enclosure is for a bearded dragon? I wasn’t sure if they would scratch it down. Also a tip for anyone putting this enclosure together is to use a little Vaseline on the joints. It helps to hammer the pieces together.
Great video. I have had enclosures from Animal Plastics and Reptile Basics. But am thinking of trying these now. How are you adding heat? Heat tape? Panel? Lamp? Thanks.
You finally got a hognose!!! I have 3 and I love all the personality and sassiness.
He's already so active and personable. I can't wait to see his personality change as he gets older 🥰
Yes, they are so high strung😅
Love the video! I just bought that same enclosure, my question is, did you attach the uvb light on the inside? I bought the arcadia pro T5 36" and idk how to hang it from the inside.
Hognoses are a snake on my bucket list too! I don't know anything about snakes right now, but I guessed milk snake or a type of rat snake
Milk snakes are such cute snakes too!
I just got one of these last week for our new beardie. I ignored the stickers on the screen top that clearly said “THIS IS THE BACK” and put it on backwards and then had to redo it when I realized. 🤦🏻♀️
Recently I’ve been wanting a bearded dragon and since then all I have been doing is reaserching, your vids have relaky helped! I was also looking tat the site and found this bundle for bearded dragons! Comes with food heating and the tank you showed. You’re the best Elle! (Ps it’s long ik oops)
Awww I'm so glad I could help! And awesome job researching first - you're starting out great ♥️
@@ellesreptiles thanks for replying Elle! ❤
I just ordered my dubia enclosure! I was actually looking at that same exact background but was curious since it's cloth would it be a bad idea for my beardie? I'm a newbie and found your channel and have been watching all of your beardie videos!
Me first time seeing your channel like “what what is it? I don’t know” 😂
I love your videos!
Thank you so much ♥️
Question I purchased 2 of these and I am waiting for them to arrive, I was wondering if it would be easier to add the background picture to the back panel before installing it? What are your thoughts?
Can you use under tank heating with the tank
He’s sooooo cute!!!!!! I’ll definitely check out these enclosures. I’m getting ready to upgrade my 2 Ball Pythons to 6 foot enclosures and if Dubia Dude has those I’ll get 2 of them.
Thank you. 🥰
This one if from Dubia.com, and I know they have a 5ft enclosure... They might have a 6 ft one too! 😊
@@ellesreptiles I sent them a message asking if they have a 6’ one. I hope they do☺️ If not, maybe a 5’ will work.
so how do you plan on heating if it is stacked under another enclosure?
How are you installing the lights or are u just putting them ontop of the lid?
What are the measurements of the bottom? So I can put tile. Thanks!
Cute little guy! ☺️👍
Thank you! ♥️
How did you hang the plants at the top?
Sorry to both, but.
Im having a hard time deciding what enclosure would be best for a leopard gecko. I'm planning to buy 1 and only one as it's forever home but can't decide which would be best. Can I get your opinion, please, among these 4? I have them listed in order in which I'm leaning towards to, from most to least likely to get.
•Custom Reptile - Evolution 3 PVC Enclosure 2.0 - 36 x 24 x 17
•American - 36"x18"x18" ABS Reptile Cage
•Dubia - 36x18x18 (50 gallon)
•Kages 30"x16"x16" Premium PVC
How did you mount the lighting?
Did you seal the terrarium
Hey i have a question did u have to silicone anything to add substrate? Also how are u i hope ur feeling ok with everything u had going on im sorry i havent commented on a long time been dealing with my own shit but i just got 2 of these and i am super excited and have the exact same substrate so i just want to make sure i can just put it in
How well does the tank hold humidity?
Just got one of these tanks. Was curious if you have had any escapes with it since you used the plexiglass doors? I am worried about my ball python pushing it enough to get trapped in the gap or even escaping.
Just wanted to update this, just checked this morning Dubia now has glass doors on these enclosures as of April 10th and also offer the glass doors separately for the 4x2x2 enclosures pruchased prior to that date.
Pink tongue skin is my guess
How long did it take you to put this together?
And you had to have a handy man to help a bit;)
I'm looking for a terrarium, you see;)
Did you seal the enclosure or recommend doing it for a ball python
Blue Tongue Skink is what I think
Edit: I was way off lol
Loving the pricing - especially for the quality. We need more affordable options, so the days of keeping things like Ball Pythons in fish tanks can just be an ugly spot in history, instead of a current event.
Elle where did you even get a hognose from?! I have been looking EVERYWHERE
From a local breeder called Rocket City Reptile 😊
Congratulations on your new enclosure very nice and your hog nose is beautiful as well.
Thank you! 🥰
I’m having trouble with one of the glass doors, one slides perfectly while the other doesn’t. Can’t figure out why
I'm not sure, are the tracks clear of debris?
not sure if you know this but i would not use reptfiles enymore as a sourse! its just copy and pasted info from wiki and or other things and 90% of there guides are outdated! the substrate btw itself is 100% fine just wanted to let you know about reptifiles!.
Being so tall, how flimsy are the doors? It seems my Pine would be able to push its way out.
Do they offer a metal cap to make them more rigid?
It slides into the metal sides, so the edges aren't flimsy, but I'm not sure about the middle part. It doesn't feel flimsy to me, but idk. Weather stripping might help keep them away from the center but 🤷🏽♀️😅
I don't think they sell a metal cap, that's a good idea though!
@@ellesreptiles Thank you for taking the time to reply. I do appreciate it.
Would this enclosure be suitable for a ball python? The site says to be aware of needing high humidity so should I get glass doors or would the acrylic still hold up?
The acrylic doors would be fine, but if you needed to hold more humidity, putting some sort of cover over the top screen would help out (acrylic, glass, or even covering it partially with a towel or plastic wrap)
@@ellesreptiles ok thank you because I’m caught between this and a Kages PVC for my ball since my beardie also needs to upgraded to a 120 by the end of the year and I’m nowhere near rich enough to drop 1K on enclosures 😂
I knew right away this was gonna be a hognose setup haha. Right as you said it was gonna be for a new pet I just knew.
Haha That's awesome! 😊 You haven't commented in a while, how have you been?
@@ellesreptiles ugh I know haha. I’ve been good. Just been busy working, caring for my animals, working with my savannah monitor, getting stuff together for upgrades as well as stuff for future breeding projects. How have you been?
@@WitchersCreatures I've been good! Super busy but good. Also getting things together for lots of upgrades. I'm excited to get multiple animals in 6 ft tanks... But definitely not excited to decorate multiple 6 ft tanks 😅
@@ellesreptiles glad you’re doing good. Upgrading is fun and all but it takes some work to do so haha.
How do you like it a year later?
Would this enclosure be good for a ball python?
how deep can u make the substrate ??
I think the substrate lip is 4-5 inches
OoO did you read my mind???
👀 yes?
Do you still like this tank? I’m looking at them for my BP noodles.
I do! I ended up using it for my kingsnake, just because he's growing faster, and it's great. I absolutely love it and it's especially great for the price.
I also noticed my my most recent "reviewing subscribers tanks" video, SO many people had this tank, so it seems to be a crowd favorite 💜
How would you heat this enclosure with it being stackable?
Me personally or just in general? I don't personally plan to stack it. (We're going to build a stand around it.)
But just in general - you could do a heat bulb inside with a protectant cage around it, or maybe a radiant heat panel would work? Depending on what's going in it, you may also be able to use heat tape.
You can put a heat mat on the back if you prefer heat mats also
I'm not sure but wanted to ask do they ship outside of the US? (For the enclosure I mean hahaha) Asking cus I live in Canada. :D Also thank you as always for the video it was funny too!! Haha!! 😀
I think they currently only ship to the US. Sorry about that, I definitely should have included that in the video 😅
@@ellesreptiles Awe no worries!! Hehe!! 😀 Also thank you so much!! 😀
Could a baby ball python escape?
100% beardie
Or hognose
Idk😢
Yea that’s for a hog
I’m guessing a blue tongue skink
I gotta ask did you name your ball python Starling after Clary Starling from silence of the lamp?
Sterling after Sterling Archer 😊
It’s a nice tank and a great price. The only issue I have is that 50% of the profits are going towards abortion. I’d rather pay $1,000 for a tank than pay $250 for a tank and half of that go towards pro-abortionist organizations.
That's an oversimplification of what the real issue is and despite your opinion this is a conversation that should be reserved for women
@@reptilianden7895 murder isn’t a constitutional right. It’s a felony punishable by death.
like I said your oversimplifying the issue rather than educating your self on exactly how this effect women’s right and medications. I know many women that would be dead or unable to have kids if not for the medications that were available then that are now being out lawed (like Elle). All your doing is attempting to fear monger the masses on a subject that you you are ignorant in and have no right to even speak on. Next time someone attacks white men’s rights feel free to chime in but until then gracefully bow out.
@@reptilianden7895 trust me, I’m educated on the situation. 97% of all abortions are elective meaning women are using abortion as birth control. Less than 2% are due to medical complications but even then doctors typically opt to deliver the baby and try to save both the mother and the baby. Less than 1% are for incest and rape but even then you don’t punish the child for the sins of their father. None of these situations are a justification for murdering an innocent baby. I have no right to speak on? Actually I do have a right to speak on it. It’s called the first amendment. If it makes you feel any better I can always get my wife in here to tell you the exact same thing. Murder is not healthcare. White men’s rights? It’s that sort of racist nonsense that has the country so divided right now. There are no special rights for white men in this country. No matter how much you keep repeating that garbage that doesn’t make it any less false. Who the hell are you to tell me what my rights are? I served my time in the Marine Corps to defend the constitution, a constitution that secures my freedom to say whatever I want. What have you ever done for this country? What gives you the right to tell me what I can and can’t do or say?
So awesome! Definitely want to upgrade my ball python hatchling into one of these when he gets older. Looks so sleek and well built.
I can't wait for my hognose to get bigger so he can go in there 🥰
