I’m also here for thinking about what I can do for my beardie! I’m thinking I could do almost the exact same thing he does but with acrylic or glass instead of the metal wire on the doors to help maintain the heat
This was incredibly helpful, thank you! My Nelson’s Milk snake recently outgrew her 40 gallon tank, and the bigger ones are PRICEY. I’ve got an old real wood dresser sitting in storage from when I was 15/16. Time to give it a new purpose in life! Thank you so much!
Omg that is so cool!!! I’m gong to see if my husband can do this for my son for Christmas. Does it stay warm enough inside with having in all open in the front?
If there's any chance you see this, would you be able to explain in a little more detail how to properly set up the light fixtures? I want to do this for my snakes, but I'm most worried about making sure the fixtures are safe and reliable.
For a snake, you would need a heat lamp cage around the heating bulbs. The cage will keep the snakes from touching the light bulbs directly and burning themselves, so it's very important. You would also want the whole fixture + cage flush with the top so that the snakes can't get stuck between trying to get on top of it or anything. And the middle UVB light depends on the type of snake/the owner's preference based off of your own research. Hope this helped! :)
Hi thanks so much for this video, I’m thinking of making something very similar for my Russian tortoise and this was a great help. Can I ask how you heat proofed the lamp.
Awesome work dude! I have been thinking of alternatives to buying a glass tank for a beardie and something like this is definitely something i need to look more in to! Im thinkin the doors could also work with glass, maybe if silicone was used to attach it in place?
Hi there, I know this is an older video but I’m upgrading my hutches for my hedgies. Just wondering what a good, fairly inexpensive brand of drill kit with both small and large size screw inserts would be? I’m looking all over amazing. I definitely want something cordless and not too big or heavy. Something for my animal enclosures but also for projects like building household furniture. I’m a pretty petite female, 96-100lbs. My bfs about 167 and can handle a larger drill easier than me. But some of the pieces sections of the hutch are pretty small and a large power drill would probably get in the way and also get a little heavy for me to handle. So just a small to medium sized, cordless drill kit, preferably rechargeable rather than battery operated, including small to large sizes of screwdriver inserts as well as drilling bits to drill through the wood of the hutch which has some fairly thin wood which I don’t want to break. Anything I can buy on Amazon that’s affordable would be great! Open to any and all suggestions!! Thanks! And I absolutely love how your enclosure came out. If I was more handy I would totally make a dresser hutch for my hedgies but I just typically buy from Amazon or Wayfair and put my stuff together even with the very limited sizes of screw drivers that we have haha Also any starter tool kit would be nice to have as well. I just got a hammer and a nail kit with nails of various sizes but any sort of starter tool kit with wrenches and other tools that I wouldn’t even be able to make would be very helpful! Thank you!!
This is some high quality content! Great video. How is the furniture coming along today? Does it suffer from any major animal tortoise related damages? Sending my best wishes from Sweden.
great video! what kind of silicone/sealant did you use in the edges? have there been any issues with cleaning or water leakage since Percy was added? beautiful build!!!
This looks so cool! I was looking for stuff that I can do for my bearded dragon. This is definitely a cool build
Thank you!
I’m also here for thinking about what I can do for my beardie! I’m thinking I could do almost the exact same thing he does but with acrylic or glass instead of the metal wire on the doors to help maintain the heat
i was doing the same lol
But what about humidity/moisture
Sameeeee I also might rescue a Chinese water dragon so I’m just looking at things to get inspiration from and this is cool as hell
The possibilities are endless 😮
Not all tortoise's gets to live in luxury! I know I'm late to the party, but I hope Percy loved his new home.

This is absolutely beautiful. Even down to securing the pointy ends of the chicken wire so the turtle wouldn’t cut its feet.❤
you are such an awesome reptile owner and carpenter!!! thanks for the helpful video
That is one lucky tortoise! Man you folks there really know the DIY ways of perfection!! Hello from India
Awesome build 🫡
Omg that is so cool!!! I’m gong to see if my husband can do this for my son for Christmas. Does it stay warm enough inside with having in all open in the front?
This is great! Going to make a huge custom tv stand/entertainment center for my Argentinian tegu :)!
Nice! Time to build one of my own 😏
This is super nice looking and was very helpful! Thank you

@@shirleystrauch1041 thank you so much
I really like this idea. How well did it hold up to wear and tear as I see this video is several years old?
Nice job 👍🏻
Good job sir
This is awesome. My wife wants to get a green basalisk as a class pet. I think we will do the same thing just use plexiglass instead of chicken wire.
Love this vid man just what I was looking for my Tokay gecko

may be a dumb question but what lighting base did you use for your basking bulbs

Wonder if the sealants and paint are safe for reptiles....
Yo what kind of wood and paint do u use? Can I use same for monitor lizard
If I put my bearded dragon in this, what about moisture/humidity with the wood. How could I solve that issue 🤔
Exterior rated paint
can i use any kind of paint?
I appreciate the vid, might make this for my bearded dragon. Also, you look and sound like bryan callen.
Love it!!! 🐢
Great job :D
Thank you, very cool.
Brilliant
What is the shade name of the paint?
It’s called “Halls of Ivy” in Behr Eggshell paint. It’s a beautiful color in person!
Rauer Tech thank you so much! I’m about to redo my room and I’m seriously reconsidering one of the colors I got for it. But this green is gorgeous!
Love it!
I like how you don’t talk the entire time like all the other butts
What is This Song! *unpauses video* 😍😂🎶
Wish we had some of those masks right about now lol
