Our lead times are about 14-21 days depending on supply! The enclosures don't take too long to build however, the heat panels, glass and lights can sometimes take a little longer to aquire.

We do not offer shipping but we do have a Courier service for local deliveries (within 1 hour of Melrose, Massachusetts). Send us your zip code and we can send a delivery quote!

Our enclosures are made out of 1/2" black expanded PVC. This material is light weight, moisture resistant and holds heat/ humidity tremendously.

All of our enclosures will come standard two 1/4" clear acrylic sliding doors. There is an option to upgrade to Tempered Glass on every enclosure. We would definitely recommend the upgrade to glass! The acrylic has a tendency to warp over time with the high heat/humid environments. Although it's a slightly cheaper option, it will cost more in the long run to replace.

Not yet! Our enclosures are designed to have sliding doors.

Yes! All of our enclosures are designed to stack because the heating elements/lights are installed on the interior of the enclosures.

Absolutely! We have been using this design for years and have had tremendous success breeding Boa Constrictors, Burmese Pythons, Chinese Water Dragons and hopefully Green Tree Pythons this year!

There is no "one perfect way" to heat reptiles but there are better systems. For Snakes we would recommend Radiant Heat Panels. They're reliable, safe and the cleanest to install. Option 2 would be a Basking Heat Lamp with a protective cage around it. For Lizards, we would recommend a Basking Heat Lamp and UVB. The Radiant Heat Panels would only be necessary for a room that gets colder than 68 degrees.

Either! Typically these will come fully assembled however, if you need it flat packed and don't mind screwing it back together at home, we're happy to do that as well.

Yes. Always. Any heating element (radiant heat panel, deep heat projector, basking bulb, heat tape etc.) should be controlled by a thermostat. We recommend Herpstat, VE and Inkbird.

We can recommend a few different types of locks that are easily ordered through Amazon.

Ventilation is built into every enclosure. We use 2" vents in the back corners of each enclosure for airflow as well as heat and humidity retention. If you are keeping speceies that need more airflow, we can adjust venting accordingly.

Yes! Customization is a big part of what we do. Popular options include: custom sizes, LED lights, one or more heating elements, UVB lights, extra vents etc. If you're not sure what to choose, we can recommend a setup based on the species.
