I didn't create it, but this group of Clint's Reptiles Fans seems like a great group of people sharing awesome animals in a kind and helpful atmosphere. I love that this group exists!
Would this be good for a Argentine tegu, or no?
A juvenile, much too small for an adult.
We do have Instagram
Clint's Reptiles
Box turtle?
Can you put a Mali uromastyx in this
But how does it rank on handleability, care, hardiness, availability, and upfront costs?
A little difficult to handle. Easy to care for. Hardy as long as it doesn't get wet. Available online. Reasonably priced.
@@ClintsReptiles wow u get a jokeXD
Did anyone else read that in Cint's voice?
@@kibo5813 I sure did :)

Please make more videos about enclosures, equipment, and other accessaries. I love this stuff!
Sounds good. Thank you for the feedback, it really helps!
I second!
@@ClintsReptiles please make more videos, a lot more, forever
I immediately hit the thumbs up button solely because of the first 2 seconds!
That's the spirit!

CAGE REVIEW
Clint has done his part
I do what I can
Congratulations to myself I got 47likes!! =)
"A monitor lizard will figure out how to open this door"
Now anyone can recreate the Jurassic Park kitchen scene right in the comfort of their own home!
Uromastyx gets my vote! They're such underrated cuties and you don't see so many enclosure videos for them.
This would be good for one
Plus you could play with excavator clay which honestly just looks ridiculously fun
I'm gonna second this one.
Uromastyx
I also vote Uromastyx!
Wasn't sure if I was gonna watch. Then saw the intro. Subscribed
BATTLE THE T SEERIES
Isupport your motion to get an ackie monitor and put it in that awesome tank!
Also, now that I've see it, I really want one of those tanks for my bearded dragon!
I love it! And this would be a great choice for your beardie.
This specific one is designed for beardies if I’m not mistaken, I will definitely be buying one for my little boy once he needs an upgrade
I thought I loved Clint before this video
Iam 10090% sure now that I love him after that intro
Thank you
The first 2 seconds made me proud to watch you as a RUclipsr
Yes a righteous ackie would be perfect! DO IT!!!!!
Ackie gets my vote!
Clint obviously hasn't did much research on ackies since they need a supstratw that's very wet which would rot they also need 1 and a half foot of substrate this enclosure is unsuitable plus ackies need a 6ft long
Ye the enclosure doesn't look too hold that much soil
I mostly use wooden enclosures and I just seal the inside with wateproof kidfriendly wood glue. You mix it with some water and just paint multiple layers on the inside. Works great in my experience.
That is a great tip!
I was wondering if there was a pet friendly sealant. I like your idea!
Do you have a brand in mind?
@@kariross8120 There's vinegar based sealant made for aquariums that I use. It's not toxic but you still want to air it pretty good. The smell is horrible haha.
@@sum12stupid4u Any solvent-free wood glue will work. That's basically what kid friendly glues are. I use a german brand called "Ponal", I'm not sure if it's available outside of germany tho.
I think a horde of Garter snakes would be really cool. Like how Snake Discovery has their Garters.
But they would escape out of the cord hole unless he covers it up.
Ah a fellow Nine year old
Will and Michelle are the little soldiers to thank for this :)
Loved it. Also if a beardie happened to open the door it would just be sitting there with the terrified look of 'Hooman! Close this door, I could get out!'.
Please make more videos about enclosures, equipment, and accessories. I love this stuff!
Strong Blues Clues dude vibes from this guy. Love the content
That intro is honestly the best. Clint is so adorable 💙
Thank you, Clint and everyone at Clint's and Zen Habitats. I really dig the Zen look, but I had reservations. They are doing PVC now, and I really think they are super nice. The aluminum rails are so sexy (I'm an engineer, we are weird), and their sizes and prices are as attractive as the whole look of them. The open upper cabs they make are PERFECT for hiding lights. Love it!
Clint, I have to say. I am so happy that I found this channel. I found you through Emily, and boy am I glad I did. I've been completely enamored with Emily and her raw passion and excitement about working with reptiles, even after all the years she's been doing it. She's just so overwhelmingly positive, I can proudly say that I've now seen every single one of her videos after just under a year of being subscribed to her. Then I decided to check you out, because any friend of Emily is a friend of mine (I'm a fellow Wisconsin girl, I might be a little too attached to her because of it lol). Boy am I glad I decided to check you out. You have such an overwhelmingly positive presence and I can't help but smile every time I watch one of your videos. The excitement I see in your eyes when you talk about your passion is like what I see every day at my job. I work at a candy shop, and every day, I get to see kids come in and nearly lose it because they're so excited. The kind of energy that I get from you, Clint, is so pure and refreshing during a time where the reptile community is getting quite toxic. You, Emily and Alex from GoHerping are the only places I can stay sane and constructively contribute to the enjoyment of reptiles with the whole spider ball python thing going on right now. I want to personally thank you for being such a powerful source of positive energy in my own, and many other people's lives as well. Whenever I'm getting fed up with the community, I know I can hop on over here and have a positive and enjoyable time. You've saved me from going to bed steaming mad many nights now, thank you for that. Keep up the excellent work sir. I hope the passion stays with you forever. 🦎🐢🐍
Yes please. I would love to see more reptile enclosure and even reptile product reviews! They would be extremely helpful, especially for newbie reptile owners like myself.
The skelitool brings Clint joy.
THE INTROOOOOOO **CLAP CLAP** "CAGE REVIEW". So awesome dude.
There are few RUclipsrs that I would trust to actually give their honest thoughts but with you zero doubts!!!
Liked after seeing intro, thats all it took.
IKR? 😂😂😂
Build it for an ackie!! I'm planning on getting one and would love to see your setup! Also I love that you're expanding the types of videos you do! Best channel ever.
Love 💗 the beginning DO IT AGAIN 👏🏻👏🏻
The intro makes me love your channel even more
that intro was hilarious
Going alot smoother then go herping's video
Sadly, GoHerping's video is more accurate than Clint's.... I am going to sum it up- low quality materials... both the bamboo and pvc- not to mention bamboo isn't a good material to use in the first place.... the frame is weak and cheaply made.... the customer service is horrible and they do not honor their warranties. Bought a few of these and only one of them was relatively "ok" and even still it rattles whenever the animal moves(a beardie) and its just completely horrible.
Highly disappointed in this. Went with this because of Clint and now I will be taking his comments with less trust.
Thank you for the honest review. Can't wait until the PVC version comes out 😀
I fully support you using the enclosure for an ackie monitor as well!
P.S. glad you're list of Paterson supporters is growing, you guys are all amazing!
“Cage review” love it 👏🏻👏🏻
As soon as i seen what it looked like built I immediately seen a beardy or uromastyx enclosure!
I clicked so fast I got whiplash lol. I’ve been waiting for videos like this from you!
I love all the enclosure videos 💚
Love the cage review at the start of the video
Now they have panels mad of a PVC composite that can handle high humidity as well as a UTH
the PVC composite is poorly made and it scratches and chips easily. It's very very thin and flimsy and even someone like GoHerping showed the truth about it. Wish I had listened to him than Clint on this.
Thanks for this. Love vids on equipment!
Great video as usual
So glade you reviewed this
Thank you! Hopefully it helps.
Omg Clint you are amazing! 👏cage review👏
Ok went on their site and this looks awesome, thanks Clint, I've been looking for something easy to build for my beardies!
This was great! I’d love to see more videos like it
Thanks for the feedback! I'll see what we can do.
You know what would be perfect for that? An Ackie!
My bearded dragon has a Zen Habitat. We love it and I think dragon Rayne loves it too. We did NOT get ours for free, but thought the price was incredibly reasonable. It took my husband and me an hour to put it together. We had to hammer down all but TWO of the connectors. I honestly don't know how other people in videos make it look so easy, because it wasn't. And for us, the doors do not go in and out easily. It is a struggle. But the cage is SO BIG and sturdy, and not heavy for how large it is. I put a really beautiful linoleum down to protect the floor. My basking area is big and tall, so my UVB (a T5) and basking light rest on top of the screen top. Our set-up is awesome. Beautiful to look at, beautiful to look IN. I couldn't be happier with my Zen.
I just found your channel and i love it :) keep up the great work
Really enjoyed this review. Would love to see more like it! I think this enclosure would be perfect for an ackie!
I love my tank. It holds heat really well
This was a fantastic video thank u im ordering this! was on the fence but im sold thx
I would love to see a few Ackie monitors in that enclosure as they are small, don't require high humidity, and do well in groups.
That's perfect for a mated pair of ackies, just saying.
EDIT: The last few seconds, damn. GO FOR IT! Please do and please make videos on him/her
The substrate might give it fits.
4ft by 2ft is no where near enough for 2 ackies lmao
@@bongratunrthdoxtrsh5324 4x2x2 is only good for 1 ackie?
Yes the enclosure is inadequate for any type of ackie, giving how little substrate it can support
I love that the,"Cage Review!"
Thank you for doing this video
This is the one I plan to upgrade to for my uromastyx. Currently using a 24x18x18" which is a plush condo for my baby for the moment. I will definitely be ponying up for their mat in lieu of actual substrate. It will have plenty to climb on and a "swimming pool" filled with coconut fiber. I love how easy to clean a uro is. Best pet!
looks great, i love watching your videos. That looks like it would be great for a blue tongued skink or a lacerta. Keep up the great videos!
I second the decision to make an enclosure for an ackie, mostly because I intend to get one some days (once i settle after my PhD), so seing a build video for them from my favorite pet youtube channel would be awesome :D.
The intro made my day 👍
I just watched go herpings video for this enclosure and his enclosure did not fit together
Many things wouldnt fit together with a half-ass approach to assembly that he showed.
@@spiky7 can't blame the kid, he weighs 45 pounds sopping wet, probably took all his strength just to get it up the stairs
Keep up the great videos!
Will definitely look into these for my beardies!
This would be a great choice for beardies!
Watched all the way to the end, and whadda ya know? I was actually planning to suggest building it for an Ackie. Loved your video about them, and would love to keep one sometime in the somewhat distant future. They seem so cool.
Even he's doing his part
Yes please build it for an Ackie, I want one really bad, but have worried about finding the right enclosure, and this looks great, and I agree I would replace the wood with pvc
Insta like for the cage review! 👏👏
I was happy when you mentioned the door design. The whole time i was thinking, "One smart lizard is gonna be on the loose".
"Clever girl"
@@ClintsReptiles LOVE the quote!
@@ClintsReptiles "Ellie! Boot up the door locks!"
The substrate shield could help keep the lizard in. Also I imagine running a bungee cord from knob to knob behind the enclosure would keep the lizard from opening the door.
I bet you could bring one of the panels in to Home Depot and new panels cut of a new material.
I ordered one for my bearded dragon a few weeks ago ❤️ can't wait to get it
How did it work out for you?
My concern with this build is the bottom edges. It's not sealed so substrate would get wedged in frame super easily. Also, one runny poop and you're going to have to disassemble the thing to clean it.
Great job doing your part, enjoyed the video, speckled tortoise would be good in here.
you should soooo make a super awesome ackie enclosure!! that'd be so dope!
Clint! I know this enclosure is too small for a BCI but I am dying to see you do an enclosure setup for one, you're the only one I trust because I know you love boas so much! My vote for this specific enclosure is uromastyx :)
I think a bearded dragon would look really cool in their. I know mine would love it. Love your videos.
now that i have watched this vidieo this is the habatait for my new dragon thanks clint
I talked to Zen Habitats and they said theyre working on a waterproof/bioactive tray, which is awesome!
I woke up to this. Thank you Mr Clint :)
You're very welcome! Good morning :)
I'm a little behind, but I'm so glad you did a review of this. I have been looking for something for my bearded dragon and my ball python. We have been trying to price cages vs building our own and the Zen's have caught my attention. I will wait to take a look at the Zen when the PVC is released for my ball but it seems perfect to my bearded dragon!
This is one great video!
Thank you, thank you :)
You are such a sweet person to see. Loved your video!
You should definitely use the enclosure for an ackie!!! That is a great idea! 😁😁😁
Leopard gecko!! I'd love to see one pampered with a big enclosure.
I would love to see you do a setup for a bearded dragon. I have a 3 year old beardie and I've been thinking of completely redoing her enclosure. 😊🦎
Please more video on tanks and setups! Could be a great enclosure for a northern blue tongue skink, with something to allow for a thick substrate layer
You deserve more subscribers
I REALLY like this enclosure. Its esthetically pleasing unlike most.
The only thing I kinda dont like is the mesh top for humidity. But it slides in so that's a easy fix to replace with wood, PVC or whatever material if need be.
Chuckwalla gets my vote!
I like this 9 year old reptile keeper
I met you yesterday at the wasatch expo it was awesome
An ackie monitor could be pretty cool in there!
Yes i want to see an ackie in that. I am planning on getting one in the future and i want to see how you put it together
What did you end up putting in here? also, love your habitat setup videos. would love to see more how-to's for those in the future in the future
I love the “well hi there” intro! I’m random lol
You should put your jeweled lacerta in the new enclosure!
I was so sad that we didn't get a close up peeling of the plexiglas 😩😩😩❤️
Perfect for beardies!!
I love it!
Uromastyx would love that enclosure !
Sweet digs for a Uromastyx
That it would be!
My first enclosure was for a beaded dragon. It was 36” H x 24” D x 72” L. I bought the dragon as a baby and put a barrier to make it 1/3 the size. Opened it up as he grew. I had a cabinet maker constructed for me. Charged me $150 for it. I only had to buy tinted glass and the railing. I was super satisfied with it. I waterproofed the bottom and later added a hood to conceal all the lighting. Looked and functioned fantastic. That looks like garbage to me, in every respect.
Thanks for this awesome videos and all your great videos. Do you think this is good for a ackie monitor?
Heck yeah, I'd love to see an Ackie set-up in one! Mostly because an Ackie is on my wishlist, so I'd love to know how to set one of these up for one whenever I get around to being able to afford it.
Good video. Maybe you could go over different kinds of tank setups, depending on the reptile.
