this video deserves more. the presentation is amazing and it isn't just a video showing the final product. even more, you filmed the whole thing. this build is really cool and I am going to do the same in the not too distant future (i have only made it custom from the initial enclosure. thanks for this vid, keep it up
Thank you very much.
Wow nice!!! How much did it cost? if you don’t mind me asking .
@@opalblack879 about 200 i think, it was a while ago and i bought it second hand refurbished
I agree
I've been looking for diy terrariums on TH-cam, maybe I've watched 25 of em but this one the most clearest and the most can be done project. thank you a lot for sharing this masterpiece with us!!
Why thank you! Means a lot
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse just a question, What are the widths and lengths of the wooden parts that make up the skeleton? actually we are using metric system that’s why i couldn’t get it
Amazing work man. I’ve been looking for affordable options for my boa who looks cramped in a 75 gallon enclosure and this would be perfect. Love the video. Clear audio, excellent camera work, and making sure to show everything from tools, hardware, materials, and even mentioning where to get everything. Every tutorial on YT should be held to this standard.
Thank you so much.
Absolutely AWESOME! Enclosure looks great and you did a very good job giving detailed instruction thank you so much! Can’t wait to get started on one
Thank you so much!
Heck yeah dude it’s nice to find a simple build with the whole process recorded and explained. Thank you for the great content! Exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you 😊
I’ve been watching enclosure videos for over a week and this has been the best one so far 😯
Thank you very much it means a lot
Thanks to you my beardie is happy and healthy. Going to be upgrading from a 40 gallon soon because my boy is getting big lol. People like you deserve more credit for spreading valuable information on how to care for these awesome creatures.
Happy to help! Appreciate you
This is a perfect video for me! My skink has outgrown his enclosure and I need a bigger one. I was wanting to make my own because I need it in odd dimensions to fit where it's at in my house. Thanks for documenting your build.
Thank you so much
I really like your set up, it’s epic. I used foam from my neighbours new laundry machine. Cut it then used a torch to stiffen up the foam. Painting it was my favourite part. Again love the setup 👌🏻
Thank you so much! Yeah I recently came across some foam boards and now I’m gonna have to do another build haha
I've been wanting to build something like this for years, but for plants as I grow rare tropicals, but most videos are not helpful. I'm autistic and I need to actually see things so I know how to do them and I appreciate this video so much so I can see the actual steps and what you're doing. This is going to be my project for February, thank you so much!
Thank you 😊 I’m glad I was able to help you
Love your video, I'm almost done with my first enclosure. My second enclosure I think I'm going to use some of your ideas 💡 but I think I'm going to wait until you make the second video for your second enclosure because like you said the mistakes that you made on the first enclosure you corrected them in the second enclosure. Love your ideas thanks for the video
I use black pond spray foam for everything I build! Seems to work the best in my experience.
Black pond spray is amazing Howe for some reason I have not found it near me in a 90 mile radius.
This is incredible! I’m sending this video to my Dad- he’s going to help me build a custom enclosure for my Ruth!! This was such a helpful video. Thanks for all the detail! Do you have any updated pictures or videos of how the enclosure looks now?
Thank you so much I’m making another enclosure very similar to this one and I’ll have updates in that video when I post it.
That looks really nice! Very descriptive, easy to follow. You made it look easy 😂
Thank you for that beautiful video & build.
Thank you so much
I expected this video to be made by someone with thousands of subscribers. I am super impressed, you definintly gained a subscriber today! I am excited to see what you make next.
Wow thank you so much 😊
Fantastic video mate and filled with so much information unlike some who I think do it to show off rather than a DIY tutorial like your video. You have earnt my subscription.
Thank you very much
I’m using your video to make 2 enclosures. When I was building the first I did feel it needed studs on either end so I added those. I didn’t change anything else thanks for making the video dude
No problem thank you!
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing! I have to build an enclosure for my Sav. and I will be following you video as a guideline! 🥰
Thank you so much. I hope your build comes out great!
I am so tempted to use the spray foam to make a backdrop when I eventually make my enclosure. Not only does it look great, well yours does at least, I feel it will also help add a thermal barrier. I am so concerned about temp loss as my room is in a basement and we have times, like today, where power went out for several hours.
Thank you for making this video! I watched it 3 times so far and I’m writing down every single thing you used. I’m going to go for it and try to build one. Wish me luck 🎉
I believe in you!
It turned out amazing!!! Thank you for sharing your process, you did such a great job of filming this. I can't wait to build my own someday!
Thank you so much
Thank you so much for sharing this, it's easily one of if not the best DIY I've seen.
That means a lot thank you
Im going to attempt to build an enclosure soon following these instructions, im really excited to give it a try since ive never really built anything without it being from a factory and having the instruction booklet. You always do a great job of explaining these kinds of things!
I actually just started so far it’s been awesome
Wow ! That came out amazing !
IT LOOKS AMAZING 😍
Wish I was this good at making backgrounds look so good
Thank you very much! It means a lot.
This is amazing! I'm planning on building an enclosure and this video was super helpful
Thank you. Good luck
This was great, thankyou! I'm looking forward to this stimulating little project. A heck of alot smarter than paying $1000 for one retail! That foam-->slate rock look is fantastic by the way
Thank you so much! I know what you mean and this thing is sturdy
This is amazing! Thank you for making this video.
Thank you so much 😊 no problem
Thank you SO much. This is the guide I’ve been looking for!
No problem!
I've built a couple of cages and this one looks pretty good.... great job
Thank you very much 😊
You are awesome!! Thank you for your share inspiration. You had truly inspired me to make my own enclosure my bearded dragon will love!!! You are so creative
Thank you so much! You can do it!
I would've personally made a deeper substrate area, but hey, if it works it works. Nicely done!
Thank you! Yeah I learned that from this build and updated the build so it allows deeper substrate.
thanks for taking the time to make the video
No problem
Just put my first coat of Elmer's glue on. Thank you so much for this video, and all the hard work!!!
No problem thank you!
That turned out great! I’m going to use some of your ideas in my build.
Thank you very much. Good luck on your build hope it turns out great!
great job on the home awesome job with the video.. i appreciate the simple details that make all the difference
Thank you! Glad you liked it
I'm inspired to make my own 4x2x2 enclosure😻
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this! Thanks dude.
Thank you so much
WOW! Awesome. Love everything about this video. Thanx for showing it
Thank you so much
Ridiculously awesome!
Thank you 😊
I love you video it helps my bearded dragons alot
Awesome job I like the way thus one is built
Thank you very much
Great enclosure and quality vid keep up good work 👍
Thank you so much 😊
i’m going to use your great foam idea for my enclosure! you did amazing btw. For the mixture of the black cement was it glue and the paint?
It is beautiful! You could put a couple more levels to provide more space for that baby
Thank you so much.
This is really cool; fantastic work!
Thank you 😊
I love it awesome job an every step of the demonstration it helped me to build one for my beardie when I get settled in I'm making that before I purchase my beardie
Thank you 😊
Wow this was a legit step by step very nicely done and detsiled video! This deseeves way more recognition than its getting. Lucky little beardie you got therr!
Thank you so much.
Thanks bro that enclosure is tuff💪🏾💯💯💯
Thank you so much
Awesome job!!! It looks great!!
Thank you so much
Thank you for this. I have been thinking about doing this.
No problem thank you 😊
Excellent job
My dog growing up name was Bubba 🥰
Thank you for sharing
Appreciate it.
Beautiful job!
Thank you so much!
me and my dad have been planning to get a bearded dragon, but we didn't want to buy a big tank.. so we decided build one, so thank you very much!
That’s awesome building is the way to go! So much cheaper.
same i wanted to build a home for my beardy and he loves it.thank you
No problem thank you 😊
This is what I’ve been searching for! These type enclosures are $400-500. I have been looking for an easy way to build it myself. My son has two beardies. I’m thinking of making mine bigger so they both can stay together. And yes they get along. They’re very sweet together.
You definitely can make it bigger the 1x2s come in 6 foot pieces you could just make it 6 feet.
Awesome enclosure!
Thank you so much 😊
I'm amazed! Came out so nice. You definitely got the talent and patience.
Thank you so much!
I’m definitely going to do this soon
Awesome!
Dude this is sick for your first attempt
Thank you 😊
GREAT JOB!!! I wish I could just build like that!
Thank you so much!
Amazing build!
Thank you!
Excellent Video Thank you!!!
No problem! Thank you
Very cool. Nice creativity!
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you, I have been wondering what I will do for a permanent adult housing option. I have a 40 gallon now, but this is what I want to make for my girl toothless.
No problem. You can do it. A lot easier than you think.
I really dig the setup man! Thanks for showing what you used in the plan. Do you have a material list? Such as glass size, how many dowels you used and etc?
Came out great dude.🦎
Thank you so much 🍻
I love this video! Do you happen to have a list of the supplies you used and the measurements? Thank you!
Thank you 🙏 I do have a small list of some stuff in my description. However I just bought my wood from Lowe’s. I don’t have a list of measurements but I am making another build identical to this one for uromastyx and I will list all the measurements in that video.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse awesome, thank you!
This is soooo amazing outstanding job I totally wish you can add a list of every single material you used from little to big for the ones who have a little hard time remembering this way we don’t have to go back and forth on the video if you do please tag me!! This was extremely beautiful good job!!!
Thank you! I have another video that was a newer build and it has everything tagged in the description
@@ChiefSweetsUniversewhat video is that?
beautiful!
Thank you very much 😊
Dude you are a lifesaver!! Your videos are so helpful and informative! Thank you for that! 🫶🏼
Thank you! Happy to help
Awesome tank and even better video! The only thing that I would have liked to see in addition is total price paid to construct it
Thank you. This was $250 altogether
That's pretty cool bro. I like it!!!👍🏻💪🏼
Thank you 😊
This came out so fire ! I want to try I know I’m going to need help
Amazing video, amazingly helpful information, amazing end result, beautiful terrarium! Give that good boi some more tall climbing objects! Let him use that vertical space you worked so hard to build!
Thank you very much. Yes I added some big branches and he does love them
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse About to try and build my own enclosure for the first time. Contemplating starting with a used cabinet furniture piece as a base so I don’t have to build the frame and walls. 🤔 Fingers crossed it turns out as nice as yours and isn’t a disaster! 😆 Do you know roughly how much you paid for all the materials required for your enclosure?
@@thelittlestgiant yeah the entire thing screws glass wood and paint was $250
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse Hey, I’ve got a couple more questions now that I’m starting work on my own enclosure. Is placing the heat lap directly on top of the metal screen a fire hazard if your enclosure walls are made out of wood? Does heat travel through the metal screen and outward into the tops of the wood walls? (I don’t think you actually showed how to built the food portion of this enclosure in your video.) Also, do you know if the expanding foam/mortar/paint is flammable? Is it safe to coat the entire wall to the very top, or should it only go partway up to prevent being too close to the heat lamp? Just trying to brainstorm here and save myself extra work so I don’t need to go back later to fix things.
@@thelittlestgiant yeah placing the lamp directly on the metal screen is fine. Also I painted all over it handles the heat just fine. So far been going a solid year no troubles
Wow! Thank you for this very informative video. You have definitely inspired me to create my own terrarium. Please give us an update! How is the terrarium today?
No problem I’m glad you enjoyed I do have an update video on the page!
Great stuff thanks for the upload! I'm new and I saw you have like 3-4 lights in there mind telling me what kind of bulbs/light are you using?
Thank you! Yes two lights is purely light. They are daylight led regular house hold bulbs, Arcadia 100 watt halogen heat lamp, and a Arcadia uvb t5 12% 24inch light. The regular bulbs I use for light are at the opposite ends of each other. The heat lamp doesn’t provide much light so one’s on that side and the non basking side has no light either that’s where the other is.
great stuff is good for gaps but i found that foam board works amazing
Foam board is great too. When I was building this I couldn’t find any anywhere now they have tons. I’m doing a build right now with foam board.
Screen tends to block uvb partially and with the size of the enclosure I would find a way to hang the uvb light inside.
Yeah that was temporary until my Arcadia’s T5 arrived.
@Kristen Faith yes you can get aluminum or steel screen depending where you live at local hardware stores for $6. Then just apply it to the frame. My basking spot is 12 inches away from my Arcadia uvb bulbs. I have the 12% but the screen will block some of it so roughly 5-6 on the uvi index.
Amazing video!!! I want to build something for my leopard gecko and a smaller version of this will be perfect.
Thank you! Yeah that would be neat to do one for a leopard gecko
man, my little buddy needs some more stuff, it is a bit empty, i gotta get on that. thanks for giving me ideas :D
No problem thank you 😊
This is a great enclosure. I want to do this for my snake but I’d like to do an under the tank heating mat… I don’t know how I’d adapt this to include that
Thank you! You could use a radiant heat panel. Those work really well
I like the video how did you install the glass I definitely want to try with your instructions
I installed the bottom track waited for the glue to dry. then I turned the enclosure upside down glued the top track didn’t wait for it to dry I inserted the glass and let the weight of the glass push down the track. If you have clamps then you could install the top track first and do the same process just using the bottom track
Video is awesome and very thorough! Just 2 questions though, where can I find the rails for the glass? Also would you mind providing the dimensions you used for the glass? I would greatly appreciate it!
I can’t remember the dimensions off the top of my head however I did tell some people in the comments somewhere but the sliding glass door tracks is this amzn.to/3rkgoSc
Great vid! I don’t have the patience to build a beardie tank! Ima buy a 120 gallon zen beardie tank probably tommorow
Heck yeah go for it! The zen tanks look dope
This is awesome! What did you use for the top to hold the lights?
Hardware cloth. Just stronger screen.
Nicely done vid!
Thank you 😊
Really hoping you see this. How would you change this to accommodate an under tank heater? Really hoping for some good insight here for my Leopard Gecko.
You could get a price of glass at least 1/4 inch thick and use that on one part of the floor so it will allow the heating. Then cut out some blocks of wood so the heat can escape the bottom and that should work
I've been looking for easy DIY background videos and this is the best! No complicated tools and it looks amazing. Do you think I could do the background on styrofoam boards and then insert it into my tank? I'd rather not have my beardie out of his enclosure too long
Thank you! Yes you could totally do it with foam boards
how did u get the glass in place?
I got one more question, that is a 120 gallon enclosure is that a 4 by 2 by 2. Thanks
What did you mix the charcoal color stuff with? I heard you say Drylok? Can you tell me what the tub was
Yeah drylock original concrete and masonry waterproofer.
this is so badass
Thank you
Great enclosure, Great video... my enclosure came out really nice following your simple steps. What was the measurement of your glass? Sadly im stuck with getting my glass from Lowes. Cant find a custom glass shop near me. I got the 1/4 inch just wondering about the height and length. Thanks 😊
Thank you glad it worked! My measurements was 21 and 1/2 inch tall and 24 inches wide
Just got the stuff and building one for my dragon
Very nice!
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse yes I just gotta paint and get lights
excellent build video! TIL glass is expensive where you live 😂 i made a similarly sized enclosure for my snake and the glass only cost $5 a sheet
Thank you! Yeah I know right! I do live in a very rural area so that is probably why.
Looks great!! How did you get the glass into the tracks after the tracks were installed? Did they just fall into the tracks because they were slightly smaller
Thank you! I put the glue on the track top that would touch the wood. Then I put the glass in the track and slid the track into place.
hey.... a very nice video i loved it but....... what did you do exaxtly with the play sand (sorry for my bad english)
Thank you very much. I washed it with water and dried it out. To dry it out I put it in a pot and baked it on 250F degrees in the oven. Then I mixed it with coconut fiber and organic top soil
Brother what’s lights do you have 3 uvb and one heat ? My enclosure is this big so I’m wondering if I should have 2 uvb lights
Oh don’t bother with this video I didn’t have the right lights at the time I have other videos with the absolute best configuration
Nice set up
Thank you very much
