strawpoll.com/...
It's finally time for the Enclosure Buildoff CHAMPIONSHIP!! We've brought back the past winners to battle head-to-head and see who is the Grand Champion enclosure builder. Since they're the best-of-the-best, we're adding a couple twists this year... I wonder what surprises are in store for them??
One big change is that we are doing voting anonymously this year! That's right, it's time to vote NOW without knowing who built what! Please vote on your favorite enclosure here:
Remember to base your voting off of the enclosure you think is "best"! That could be the best-designed, the best setup for a reptile, best usage of the "surprise item", coolest-looking, or whatever you think qualifies the enclosure as the best!

I LOVE the twist of having us vote without knowing whose enclosure is whose. In the past I have personally also had concerns about the voting being more of a popularity contest, rather than personal taste in the enclosure, or at least massively having that popularity influence them.
One of the contestants already exposed what tank is theirs 😢
@@jacobgago1413 Sorta kinda. One of my favorite youtubers, but not my favorite build.
Who exposed they're both the one I got first off was Adam cuz he mentioned pickles and his item was a pickle jar
I do too. I can kind of tell based on some of the enclosures and knowing some of the people behind them, but largely this is a much better way to vote. Like how on RUclips they don't let you see the amount of dislikes a video has so that you don't get mob mentality.
I found Green Room Pythons from a previous years build off. Love his channel and wouldn’t have found it without this competition. Thank you and thanks to all the sponsors!
2:58 Emily Ed thank you so so much for hosting and inviting me - I've grown so much in my reptile knowledge, building skills, and being able to meet so many reptile keepers and RUclipsrs! We're all so supportive of each other! Thank you for the chance to grow especially my character as a reptile keeper. Being one of the younger contestants here, I won't let you, mentors, and Mother Nature down by doing my part to care for it, and especially to inspire kids like me. Thank you for the chance. ❤
Good luck to you, Luke! Always awesome to see your smiling face! ❤ thank you for being such an inspiration to the younger community! ❤❤
You may not know us viewers, but I got to say it's been wild watching you grow so much across these Build Offs!
You're a kick-butt young man and I'm so happy to see you represent the awesome next generation!
Thank you very much! I'm very honored by your kind comment.@@trabash505
@@yokomomochiThank you very much! That support means the world to me!
You inspire us older generation just as much as the younger! Keep being the awesome young man you’ve grown to be!
This has been so much fun. Thank you so much, Ed and Emily, for doing something so amazing for our community!
@@ClintsReptiles how do you not have any replies
yeaaa
also anyone like fishing?!
exactly
I think the secound one is clint reptiles
I was rooting for you in the challenges!! Hope you win!!
This has been the funnest event ever over the past few years! Its always great to hang out and have a friendly competition with so many talented creators who I'm proud to call my friends. I actually rescheduled trips to make sure i could attend this event over the years. The only thing that stinks about it is that now its all over. Thanks Emily and Ed for putting on such an amazing event!
Good luck to you, Dāv! This wouldn't be a build off without you! ❤❤
Thank you for fitting this into your busy schedule, wouldn’t be a build off without Mr. Rattle On!
I don't know which one is yours , but I'm hoping #5 ..I voted for it. I would have loved to see you with Brian , Adam , Bob , and Clint . Dream Team ❤
Highlight of the year! Thank you for having us ❤
You guys did such a great job!
@@ClintsReptilesyou did too! Hope we can see you soon 🎉
How do you vote?
Good luck to you and Tyler! ❤
Can't wait to see which was yours.
I was so honored to be a part of this, thanks again so much for inviting me. Good luck to all the participants, voting is gonna be tough all the enclosures are amazing!
So much much to you, Bill! You have an amazing creative but functional eye, and I know have brought your A game! Thinking and hoping you have my vote! ❤
@trabash505 this is the sweetest comment and I appreciate it so much, thank you 😊. I'm definitely gonna post more enclosure builds on my own channel moving forward 😀
I'm so glad to have been able to participate every year so far. Thank you Emily and Ed for all of the work you put into hosting this event, it's always a blast!
You guys did such a great job!
@@ClintsReptiles backatcha!!
:) I don’t know which one u did but if u did #10 I voted 4 u
@@ClintsReptilesbackatcha!
Good luck Tyler! ❤
I was not expecting Luke's voice! Kid is growing up before our eyes!
These enclosures are all so good! #6 really went above and beyond!
My thought exactly! He is growing so much in many ways. And yeah nummber 6 is just truly an artpiece besides an open enclosure. It's fantastic. I did also love number 10, and I sorta like the all out theme in Stranger Things. Those are my 3 favs, I did vote 6 thouigh, cause that would be what I wanted the most myself.
What an awesome time once again catching up with friends, laughing and seeing everyone’s creativity come together. It’s amazing how we all have one common interest but our interpretations can be so different. Love it!!! 🐍 🐢 🦎
Wait...62 likes and no replies? Dangg and ur verified too- looks like fun!
Wait...62 likes and no replies? Dangg and ur verified too- looks like fun!
I’m pretty sure I know which one you built, and it’s absolutely beautiful. Love the concept!
So much luck to you! It's amazing watching what you produce! Dream enclosure for sure! ❤
I recognized yours immediately. You used the same trick this year that you did in your first build. I loved it then, I love it now. You guys have some serious skill in building depth in a scape without it feeling too cluttered or too sparse, and the effect ends up being exactly what you intended. Bravo again.
Waiting until green team was done to tell them they cheated was diabolical 😂
These enclosures are all so good 😍, and I love that they're anonymous this year.
Great twist on having viewers vote on the enclosures without knowing who made them! In previous years I tried to let go of any bias when voting, but I was always worried I was influenced by the charm of my favorite creators versus the quality of the enclosure. Even though there are some obvious hints on who made what enclosure (such as those who signed theirs on the front!) that was fairly subtle and I was able to really take an enclosure-first view; I can feel confident I picked my favorite based on the enclosure itself. Everyone did an awesome job this year. Can hardly wait to see the video of these enclosures being created!
I'm so happy to have been part of this year's build! Good luck everyone! All of the enclosures are amazing!
Not you being the #1 at all hey 😅
"The item bring from home was a 🥒 🫙" 😅😊
Gorgeous work! And beautiful plant work! It is beautiful! 😍
The half dead maranta in the middle is (seriously )really cute, I love the touch of color it brings 😊
I like pickles too Adam 😂
Yeah a bit obvious Adam…
Of course we know which one is yours, and it looks amazing! 😄
@@AmyBumbleI laughed so hard when he said that! 😂😂
This was such a fun event!! I'm so glad I was able to tag along. The championship builds ended up being so amazing. Thanks to Ed and Emily and the whole Snake Discovery crew for putting this event together, and big thanks to all the sponsors who donated all those incredible supplies!!
26:48 HELLA. This is the BEST way to vote.
I was watching their older videos and realised that although their quality had increased, they started off still amazing, and the videos are insanely well edited and professional. Well done to Emily & Ed for their very charismatic personalities on and off camera and for filming, and well done to the editor!
Thank you so much snake discovery for letting us do this!! It was a blast!! Awesome to meet everyone!!
2 is my fave.
This is the kind of advertisement I like to see. An entertaining, organic way to show off how cool different products/merchants are!
same!! That’s the one I voted for
Mine too, already gave my vote to it too.
Also voted 2. But think best one wasn't an enclosure at all. It was the open play ground one. But for ENCLOSURE, 2 definitely is it!❤😊
@@karliechardi2229I agree with you I had to think of practicality because the exclosure is really cool but a reptile can’t necessarily live there but I’m excited to see how it was built
I was so torn with how many amazing builds there were!
I feel like after having watched all the prior builds and following many of these creators, I still have a decent idea of who built what. But I love the twist of it being a blind vote.
Seeing the contestants made me so happy. It's like seeing old friends. Luke has been getting so grown-up since the first time we saw him on your channel.
I love #6! It’s more like a “home base” for a reptile rather than an enclosure. I love the idea of encouraging interaction.
It would be cool if #6 included the side and front panels on hinges so you could secure the pet if you needed to.
i was so torn between 2 and 6, i voted 2 but im honestly hoping that 6 wins Dx
Oh yeah that would be cool, I love that idea. But I also love it this way, it's not just an enclosure, it is art.
I love that Rex wanted to help. The build off is great but what Emily and Ed have built is far greater. Look how far you’ve come in your journey of helping to educate us about reptiles. Look at all the sponsors willing to donate. You are amazing. Remember that during those late nights.
MAJOR PROPS, to the builder of the challenges! The snake/ball challenge was incredible!
Who else loves how happy emily is 🎉❤❤😌😌🥰
Me ❤❤❤❤❤
Me
All the time ❤❤❤
I do 💕💕💕💕💕💕😍😍😍
Me I just wanna go to the zoo to hug her ^^
Number 6 is really creative and I like the water dripping from the top and how they incorporated the boot
So torn between 6 and 8 for different reasons, it was a hard choice. I love Studio Ghibli ❤
Same!
Me. too. they were all soo good especially princess mononoke my favorite ghibli movie and #6 centerpiece just amazing
Same, with 10 thrown in as well.
Same here. Wish I had 2 votes
@@niren1niren Same
I had THE BIGGEST smile on my face when everyone was introduced. Such an awesome group of people!
Enclosure 6 is incredibly creative, its very impressive they were able to create something like that
It was my favorite, because it was SO creative & unexpected!
Me two, I love the idea of a playstation for reptiles! You could hav so much fun watching them!❤
Agreed! I want something like this for my home!
It was mind blowing. I was shocked. But in a very good way.
*nearly spits out my drink seeing multiple of my favorite youtubers on here* I'M SO HAPPY. GO CLINT. I hope he does well and then lectures all of us about which animals would be most happy in the enclosure!
omg the princess mononoke one!!! 😮❤ i love it
I agree, absolutely beautiful!
Same!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
beautiful build, but I would be worried about putting animals in it. I had that same problem with a few builds
@@robertherman2453 i felt that way about others, but not this one. what did you see wrong with it?
@@6ngelic I'd be worried aboutthe little forest spirit figures possably breaking or getting damaged and injuring animals. same with the lights, plus how are the lights going to affect the animal? might just be me being a bit paranoid, butthats where my thoughts go on a lot of enclosures like that one. as reptile keepers our first job is to give the animal the best enviroment we can.
Ugh, I can’t choose! I love #2 for its realism, but my heart is drawn to my favorite anime Princess Mononoke.
Yep those and the Stranger Things one are my top 3.
Thank you guys SO MUCH for these events- what a great way to bring the community together!
I love watching Emily and Ed put all the challengers through their paces with their puzzles and relay games. It's so funny to watch everyone running around!
All these enclosures are gorgeous (although I dread the thought of cleaning any of them with so much stuff going on). Since the aim is to vote purely on favorite enclosure, I made an effort to NOT try to sleuth out who made what based on their item picks. Everyone did a fantastic job, but that's to be expected of champions!
Can't wait to see these get put together later this week :D
Not green team trying to find loopholes in the challenge 😂
Taskmaster material, amirite
Poor Bob!
Worst part about it, is they might have won, if they did not literally wasted time on trying to cheat twice. :P
So glad that the voting Is done without knowing who built the enclosure . I love it!
Yeah it’s great
Except people in the comments giving them away and some of the contestants all but confirming it. Sneaky sneaky lol.
@highjinx6519 it's kinda easy if you paid attention but it's still better than a full on popularity contest
@@victoriabagwell8426 I guess I’m just not observant enough because I went back and watched several times(prob 5) and I only know 1 for sure and that’s because of his video released first. I have a few guesses about the other ones but nothing I would bet on. And I’ve always thought I was more observant than average but this proves otherwise lol.
@highjinx6519 there were a very few obvious ones for me once I saw the builds with things that were chosen but it's only like 3 things.
The pickle jar!!! Def know who built that enclosure 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Green team wasn’t cheating!! It was lateral thinking XD
I always look forward to the build offs. The challenges were super fun, and I can’t wait to see them making the enclosures. Glad you decided to have people vote before knowing who built it, I can’t deny being biased by knowing who made it.
Can’t help but noticing a Captain Clint in that group picture though. Hint? Or red herring?
#2 is my favorite!!! So simple yet beautifully serene!
same!!!
I just want to go into that enclosure and sit there in the woods.
I cannot get over how good these ALL are!!!! I absolutely LOVED $4 #6 and #8. But they are all so good. Everyone in this competition is so incredibly talented!
6, 8, & 10 are all my votes...how can I choose!!?? 😱
I was mainly torn by 2,6, & 10, so many of them were SO cool!
I know!!!!! 6 & 10 were my absolute favorites but dang lots of them are super cool!
It's so incredibly hard to choose as they're all so great but I'd just like to say that the mentors vivarium has bought me to tears. The reptile hobby has always been underrated, challenging, othered, misunderstood, and unsupported. Our reptile mentors are what helps us overcome those challenges every day, they give us the strength to fight for our hobby which is constantly questioned and marginalised. They help those outside of our hobby better understand the beauty of those misunderstood and hated. This hobby is so great for the nature and for our community and I am incredibly grateful to be a part of it.
Ed and Emily are always so happy. Love how excited Emily is for this championship build off. ❤❤❤
All of these enclosures are so amazing and creative! 1 and 2 so beautifully captured the forest floor, 3 was something out of a museum, the miniature furnishings are adorable, 4 has such an endearing story and the little Rex was everything! 5 has such an interesting incorporation of natural influences and themed objects, the red lighting and paint flecks really pull it all together, I love the idea behind 6 and it’s just a gorgeous piece, the planting and flowing water as if it were raining are so whimsical, 7 has awesome plants as well and the fact that it’s intended for a rainbow boa being correlated to the theme makes it all the more brilliant, 8 , I love a good studio Ghibli movie and the landscapes in them are truly breathtaking and magical, I think this enclosure captures that beautifully,9 , the farm idea being a for a hog nose is so fun , and I, again love the incorporation of the miniature elements, finally 10, this one is simply enchanting, the themed water feature and layout are very well done, it’s such a hard decision they’re all so amazing I can’t decide! (This is probably horrible grammatically lol)
I think #2 is my favourite so far. A gorgeous-to-look-at scene while being a perfectly natural environment for the animal
It was such a treat to be there - huge thanks to everyone who makes this possible! All the builds are amazing, and so was Ed's BBQ!
Why aren't the amazing sponsors in the description or comments? They deserve to be linked to!
That's a terrific idea! I bet they were so busy preparing, that it accidentally was overlooked.
6 IS AMAZING!!!!!! 10 is my 2nd choice!!!!
OMG the Sponsors were AMAZING! I love the Zilla's caves! and the NEHERP subtracts! As always Emily and Ed rock!
All of them are amazing. But the forest floor one made my heart beat faster - it's SO realistic, like they literally just cut a piece of the forest and put it into the enclosure. 10/10 build!!
I love the creative craziness of #6!!! That has to be Garrett 🤩
Thank you! I loved that (other contestant's) build!
@@ReachOutReptiles yeah...that other person's build...well done!🤣🐍
It's alsways cool to see the reptile community come together like this for sports and fun and very heartwarming to see the growth of long time sponsors and competitors as well as newcomers.
Before I give my vote I would like to thank each and everyone who was a part of this. Each enclosure was truly a marvel to see, both for how much thought was put in for the reptiles, as well as the personal touches that the builders included.
1, 6 and 8 would be my top three for very different reasons. 1 for their replication the natural environment of a their thought of species, it's alsways sweet to see people think of their pets comforts first and foremost. 6 for their creative touch and willingness to incorporate interactivity into their build. And 8 for sheer aesthetics and personal preferences (Ghibli magic is my my weak spot I am sorry). If I had to choose I think 6 should take the crown for thinking outside the box (pun intended) and creating a playground for pet and owner to interact. Their theming about nature reclaiming human settlement was also very beautiful and profound and I like how natural the rubber shoe actually fits in because of it.
Much thanks for all the effort you guys put out there to make stuff like this happen and fingers crossed that this event stays for the many years to come
What an amazing way to make the reptile world more accessible to us who have never had exposure to it! What a great community!
2 hours after upload…
10, 977 views
Current leader - 10 (20%)
My vote - 6
Good luck 🎉
8 & 10 are also really nice, love the night lights…
I voted 6 also but 10 was my second fav!
Finally getting a hognose snake (my first snake!) after being well educated from these videos. Thank you guys so much!
Yay i have a hognose they are so fun.
@@ameliaconnick5474 I’m so excited, I’m setting up it’s enclosure tomorrow (Have to deep clean it because it used to house my leopard gecko who got an upgrade) and I was supposed to get it the day after but I’m busy so idk when I will, but hopefully soon!
Congrats! I’m jealous. I used to be terrified of snakes but they’ve grown on me because of all these amazing creators and if I ever get one it’ll Definitely be a hoggie!
All are absolutely gorgeous!!!! The best for me is number 6.
These videos are literally my favorite type of videos from snake Discovery! It really gives me inspiration on how I should build my terrariums too :)
My favorite would be #6 everyone has a really nice enclosure but number 6 is my favorite
NE Herp is local to me and they are literally the best! So awesome for you guys!!
I will always love that all of them are content creators as well so they all are filming as Emily explains everything.
Well that was the hardest vote ever, they really all put their all in it! Can't wait to see the thought process and building behind each one's design.
Those are SO SO freaking good! I wish we had at least 3 votes to give! Deciding kinda breaks my heart.
I needed that 'oh hi there' today.
Adam cracks me up! XD
Soooo excited to see part two
It's so hard to decide! I love number 4 with Jane Goodall and Steve Irwin. Numbers 1 and 2 are so detailed. Number 5 from Stranger Things might give me nightmares, but I'd live with it. The pirate ship is so neat. The water looks so great to swim in. Each one is fantastic
The Upside down is my favorite. I love the series and even my crutches have random stickers from it. Nr 8 is second for me.
Number 4 makes me so happy!!! I wrote 2 biographies on Jane Goodall in elementary school, dressed up as her on the second grade "dress as your hero" day, wrote my first 5 page essay on her in middle school, and now at 23, going to see her speak for my 24th birthday.
I also love 6 and 8!!!! Everyone did amazing work❤
WOOOOOO!!! Favourite time of the year, it's like the reptile Olympics 😍 TEAM BLACK, GO BABY, GO!
I can kinda guess a little who built what but my god am I having a difficult time picking an enclosure to vote for. Well done EVERYONE!
SAME!!!
@@nifferscritters I ended up voting for 6 cause it was the most unique imo and it didn't piggyback on a fandom. I'm not saying that the fandom ones weren't as good so much as I don't know how much I like them on their own merits and how cool I think it is to include something I love into it. Even with that, I nearly couldn't pick between 6 and the Caribbean one. I really loved that one but what won me in the end was that the ship kinda carried the Caribbean one and I was initially more drawn to the open concept “enclosure”.
I do have to say though, as an artist, the forced perspective on the Caribbean enclosure was absolutely impeccable!
Which did you pick in the end?
@@paranoiarpincess I ended up picking 2! I love how natural it looked and how it was based on what the animal would encounter in that particular habitat. Even if I hadn’t known who built that one, I’m pretty sure it’s the one I would have picked. I love naturalistic setups (even though, or maybe especially because, I’m absolutely rubbish at creating them myself 😜). 6 was really awesome though and I won’t be surprised if it wins!
@@nifferscritters I've been keeping up with the poll and the pokemon one is way in the lead. It's one of the ones I really liked so I'm not complaining, I'm just pretty sure the popularity and nostalgia of pokemon wasn't not a factor. That said, it's a good strategy and it's still a really nice enclosure
Emily and ed are amazing for doing this!!
Emily: Naming all the products that were donated.
Me: Writing down a shopping list for the next NRBC.
i love the shirt that has a snake that says "U HAS FOOD?" like what?😅
It’s available on their website! 😃
all the enclosures are really cool but my vote is on 6. that one is just really creative !!!!
All.of the enclosures are so beautiful
Oh, wow! Everyone did such an amazing job!!
I feel like every year I learn about a new really cool company through the sponsor section and so many cool products I didn't even think to look for let alone knew existed
I dont comment often on your videos. But i wanted to pop in to say: thank you SD. My daughter was 11 when she found you all- your channel became our weekly youtube video binge. Since then weve started to explore other channels, many of whom are featured here at buildoffs. The joy you share in your videos is contagious and the educational opportunity is unmatched. My kiddo is 14 (soon to be 15) and omg- shes learned so much and is finding her passion in animal care through you all. So thank you!
The rain boots one the rain boot one!!!!!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Not gonng lie he cheated if you watched his video
@@jacobgago1413😯 He did?!
I feel like 6 was the most creative design, and one of the only ones that actually felt like it incorporated their item, not just hid it somewhere in the background.
Watching the first one of these feels like only yesterday, always so fascinated and blown away by everyone's individual creativity and amazing designs each time, regardless of who's crowned winner or not they're all so cool.
You guys are the best advertizers for all these products!!!!!! We actually see real experts using the products they believe in. WOW!!!!!
I vote for #10, I personally love Japanese and Chinese structures. I just love the vibes! And yes I did this before I found out who built it
My Amazon tree boas would love #6 to hangout on while I’m in the reptile room!
All of the enclosures are so beautiful!
Number 6... just so relaxing and peaceful.
It is kind of interesting. Right now the two anime themed enclosures are the top 2. I also think a few of them are pretty obvious even without any names. I mean, who else would do that with a shoe?
I definitely think that number 6 is the most unique and useful build!!
Emily's shirt is so nice ❤️
It's a rex shirt
#6!. I love them all but 6 is the best for me!
YASSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS I love getting new ideas for my personal enclosures for my animals
Wow, Awesome job competitors!!! Ya'll really nailed it in this Championship Game!!! And great idea Emily, keeping this from being a popularity contest!!! Every one of those enclosures could be a winner!!!
Definitely number 2 because it's pretty and natural and also tidy(I was gunna choose 1 but it was a bit messy also I feel that it dident look natural enough because it dident have water(from what I seen) like Forrest usually have "lakes/rivers).
Omg yesterday it was 300 likes and 105 comments AND only 2.000 views 💀
What a great time we had! Thank you guys for everything!
They were all so amazing!!! Made it so hard to vote. Enjoy this every year. Thanks so much for doing all the work to have this Emily and Ed.❤
The upside down and princess mononoke ones are probably my favourite, but I also love how different the hog paradise one looks from all the other builds.
Number 6 is my favorite. All the creations are amazing but I just think #6 is so cool and the water feature is great!
The irony of all the comments about the growth of community, channel, and reptile education is the fact I was introduced to Snake Discovery by the infamous jumping spider video. Who can forget little Chalupa? But the bringing together of all these RUclipsrs is pretty awesome. I’ve been watching more and more Garden State Tortoise, so even more exposure for them and the other contestants. I’m digging it
i loved ALL the enclosure!! so much care and creativity was put into! amazing
27:51 I love #2
I absolutely LOVE the Stranger Things one I watch this on my own when I saw number 5 I had to show my sister who watched Stranger Things and loves it too, Well done to the player who did that!!! ❤❤❤. I vote for Number..... 5!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ (my sister votes for it too well done player number 5!!!! ❤❤)
I've been meaning to say, I'm very much enjoying the new animated transitions! Whoever does the editing, you are knocking it out of the park!!
Omg this is so cooll I love it amazing video ed and Emily
The builds are so cool again this year! I think that the Mentor enclosure is the most sentimental, I'm guessing it's Luke's because of his steve irwin figurine in the beginning
I don't think it will win best enclosure overall BECAUSE the decor is very specific and personal but it honestly touched my heart so much ❤❤❤
I really loved #2 forest build tho, it's perfect for so many reptiles and the perspective is the BEST I've ever seen!
