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
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.
I've been looking for diy terrariums on RUclips, 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!!
@@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.
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!
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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 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 👌🏻
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.
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 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 🎉
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 job you did a very nice build and your details of what you used was a very nice add. At first I was like is building this in the house on a rug, but you seemed pretty carful just don’t think I would be that neat and in my day I have made many projects. Thank you for sharing.
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!!!
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 🙏 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.
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?
The glass from home depot was probably 3/32. Even thinner than 1/8. I have never had a problem with 8th inch but for that size 1/4 is a better rout to go.
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
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
There's an interesting discussion on animals at home podcast about those cement colarants may be harmful for plants, tho people aren't sure exactly why as the listed ingredients are fine. Worth watching, it was really surprising to hear.
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
Maybe prices and what it all costed in the end would be good to share Lol... looked to make one cuz I wanted to know if it was cheaper than buying ready made brand new. It looked cool in the end though
I've watched dozens of these builds leading up to building our 4x2x2 beardie enclosure. I wish I had seen this one first. By far the best build video I've seen thus far. Clear directions, simple enough for nearly anyone to build this and well constructed. I wish I had seen this before doing the build we just did. It is heavy and solid but very hard to manage because of the weight. This one looks like it will be solid without being extreme in its weight. I honestly want to build this now despite already building one. I love it so much. @ChiefSweetsUniverse what area(region) did you source your supplies? I know I can't always get supplies others get where I am. Again so well done and easy to follow instructions. Kudos to you
Hello Chief Sweet!!! Absolutely love all of your videos!! I’m so stoked that I came across this one. My Dubia enclosure arrived today and I will be making an attempt this weekend to mimic your background. Just a quick question,… How deep is your substrate? Thank you so very much and keep up these excellent videos!
First is that the ugl drylok is no longer available so what do you recommend as a substitute? Second if you add where you got the slide rails for the glass would be great.
I just got a beardie a couple months ago and he is already getting too big for his enclosure so I was looking to make one as well and was wondering what the total cost was comparing it to buying a 120 gallon tank .
while im laid off in the winter, my good is to make a reptile wall in my living room. when i finish how can i share what i come up with from using ur video!!?
@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 build and teaching! I wonder if coroplast could work vs expensive heavy wood? Its used a lot with guinea pig enclosures. Like campaign signs-waterproof cardboard. What do you think?
Hmm I don’t think it would be strong enough. Cause beardies do like some wood and if you put wood in the enclosure you will probably have to lean it on the wall and I don’t think it’ll hold.
When you said you were going to paint it with the sams "dry lock" is that the glue mixed with the cement color? So you did 3 coats of white Elmer glue then used the glue with cement color?
Looks really good man, there were some simpletons on Mighty Morphin Reptiles channel saying his DIY was the best on RUclips but they obviously haven’t see your videos.
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.
I'd make a ramp up and give him a second level to explore, would really make use of the extra height otherwise it's just wasted space. Plus from their perspective it's like nearly doubling the enclosure, gives them more of a sense of freedom.
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
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
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?
Amazing video! I’ve been looking around for a long time to find a tutorial kind of video like this. The terrarium looks very lightweight, is it really like that or is it actually quite heavy? I hope it’s as lightweight as it looks cuz I’m tired of all those heavy tanks 😂 I’ll probably make this one for my ackie monitor
Thank you 😊 The wood is pretty light when you add the glass it gets considerably more heavy. If you do acrylic instead it will keep the lightweight feeling
Putting all of these items in my cart for a Home Depot pick up. Would it be okay to skip the Elmer’s glue part and maybe just layer the foam with a grout or something similar? Maybe cut down the multiple days of drying time too?
Oh yeah 100% you don’t have to do the Elmer glue part the grout will 100% look amazing I’ve done it like 4 times now. Drying the grout is about the same though. You need multiple days and have to wait fully to dry and cure.
AWESOME! Thank you so much! I’ve been binge watching your TT’s and YT all day to try to get all the information. Attempting to use the same products so I don’t put something in there that doesn’t do well under the heat.
May I know how much all of this cost? Also a nice video; the majority of people would attempt to make things trickier than it has to be, but you kept it quick and simple.
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 😊
I haven't found a single tank for less than $350 worth buying online, but this looks 100% doable. How's it been for keeping the humidity and heat regular? It looks beautiful but that's my only worry about making it myself
Hey, wanted to say your video was awesome. I was also wondering if you think a vertical type of enclosure would be able to be done. I want to get a couple triangle tree frogs, but I don't want to spend 300 dollars and above for a big enclosure.
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
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
This will cost you $328.47 if you bought everything at Home Depot which honestly isn’t bad if you consider how much a 4x2x2 tank costs. Great video really enjoyed the in depth detail.
I think you just inspired me to build my next terrarium. Do you have an update video? Maybe so rocks made from greatstuff that your dragon can climb on. Cheers
That’s awesome hope the build goes great! I do have a update video but the interior of his cage is always changing. Now I have two tree branches mounted across the inside
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse I can't wait to see you next video. Believe me I understand the changes to find what looks nice and what the Dragon will use. We have gotten 2 different tanks and I plan to build mine because I want to mount the heat lamp inside to keep the humidity down.
My son and I are getting ready to build one just like this. How did that waterproof paint hold up? I've watched a lot of different videos and there's so many options
Was wondering if you could shoot me a few tips on doing this enclosure but in a corner fit style.. I want a 2ft tall, 2ft wide, corner fit with 2ft on both sides of the corner. It must be detachable so I can move it when I buy a house.. currently living in a rental property.. my bearded is a little under fully grown.

You should put some long wood piece so he can climb put something around the wood so he can fill hidden if wanted when he's climbing
Thank you. I still haven’t found a really long piece of wood but I’m still looking.
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 very much it means a lot
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.
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.
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.

I would've personally made a deeper substrate area, but hey, if it works it works. Nicely done!

Hello Chief Sweet!!!
Absolutely love all of your videos!! I’m so stoked that I came across this one. My Dubia enclosure arrived today and I will be making an attempt this weekend to mimic your background.
Just a quick question,… How deep is your substrate?
Thank you so very much and keep up these excellent videos!
Hello thank you! My substrate is always around 4 inches or more. But 4 inches is what I go for.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse thank you sir!
First is that the ugl drylok is no longer available so what do you recommend as a substitute? Second if you add where you got the slide rails for the glass would be great.
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
I just got a beardie a couple months ago and he is already getting too big for his enclosure so I was looking to make one as well and was wondering what the total cost was comparing it to buying a 120 gallon tank .
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
Dude this is sick for your first attempt
Thank you 😊
while im laid off in the winter, my good is to make a reptile wall in my living room. when i finish how can i share what i come up with from using ur video!!?
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.
Appreciate this video and the amount of detail! Btw which wood did you use and like how thick was it?
You earned a sub!!!
Amazing build and teaching!
I wonder if coroplast could work vs expensive heavy wood? Its used a lot with guinea pig enclosures. Like campaign signs-waterproof cardboard. What do you think?
Hmm I don’t think it would be strong enough. Cause beardies do like some wood and if you put wood in the enclosure you will probably have to lean it on the wall and I don’t think it’ll hold.

Amazing video, How did you mount the thermostats?
I'd make a ramp up and give him a second level to explore, would really make use of the extra height otherwise it's just wasted space. Plus from their perspective it's like nearly doubling the enclosure, gives them more of a sense of freedom.
That’s genius! I need to do that.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse you should make a video if you do, would be cool to see the development.

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.
You must have had a bad batch. I use that stuff all the time and never had it "not dry" like you did. Awesome build!
Yeah it was a weird coincidence for sure most likely bad batch. thank you!

Thank you! Yeah I know right! I do live in a very rural area so that is probably why.
Hey, wanted to say your video was awesome. I was also wondering if you think a vertical type of enclosure would be able to be done. I want to get a couple triangle tree frogs, but I don't want to spend 300 dollars and above for a big enclosure.
Oh yeah I made a chameleon cage with this exact setup but turned it upright. Works great
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
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
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.
I've built a couple of cages and this one looks pretty good.... great job
Thank you very much 😊
Absolutely love this, if you don’t mind me asking how much did this all run you? Thank you!
Thank you! It cost $250 for every thing
This is awesome! What did you use for the top to hold the lights?
Hardware cloth. Just stronger screen.
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
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
This will cost you $328.47 if you bought everything at Home Depot which honestly isn’t bad if you consider how much a 4x2x2 tank costs. Great video really enjoyed the in depth detail.
Awesome build bro. It looks professionally built from a store
Thank you very much
Hello! Great Video!! Can you list all the wood I would need to purchase for this build?
Amazing build. Do you recall material cost not including the decor?
I believe it was $250
I think you just inspired me to build my next terrarium. Do you have an update video? Maybe so rocks made from greatstuff that your dragon can climb on. Cheers
That’s awesome hope the build goes great! I do have a update video but the interior of his cage is always changing. Now I have two tree branches mounted across the inside
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse I can't wait to see you next video. Believe me I understand the changes to find what looks nice and what the Dragon will use. We have gotten 2 different tanks and I plan to build mine because I want to mount the heat lamp inside to keep the humidity down.
Beautiful love the enclosure ❤ what sizes did the glass measure to? Wanting to build my own before I get a bearded dragon ❤
Thank you so much. 21 -1/2 inches tall and 25 inches wide
This is amazing!! Can I ask how much it cost to build the entire enclosure...glass included?
Thank you everything came to $250
My son and I are getting ready to build one just like this. How did that waterproof paint hold up? I've watched a lot of different videos and there's so many options
Lots of great options this is still going strong no problems.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse ok awesome, thanks for the update. That seems like the easiest option
Was wondering if you could shoot me a few tips on doing this enclosure but in a corner fit style.. I want a 2ft tall, 2ft wide, corner fit with 2ft on both sides of the corner. It must be detachable so I can move it when I buy a house.. currently living in a rental property.. my bearded is a little under fully grown.
IT LOOKS AMAZING 😍
Wish I was this good at making backgrounds look so good
Thank you very much! It means a lot.
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!
Do you think it’s be cheaper just to build one? Like buying wood and making it like you? Or should I just buy a premade one?
Depends. I think it’ll come out to $250. However it will be very sturdy. Premade ones are pretty weak feeling
