Description
Practical and Modern Design: Our reptile enclosures are constructed from animal-safe materials, including 1/2” extruded rigid PVC foam board. This high-quality material features a sleek matte finish, superior heat retention properties, and is non-porous, making it easy to clean. Unlike traditional reptile cages, our PVC enclosures do not promote bacteria growth, providing a safer, healthier environment for your pet.
Versatile Use: These PVC reptile enclosures are designed to accommodate a wide variety of species, each with different environmental needs. The enclosures can be adjusted for minimal or maximum humidity retention based on your pet’s requirements. For bioactive setups, we recommend adding additional side vents to improve airflow and create a more natural environment. The exceptional heat retention of the PVC allows you to use lower wattage bulbs, resulting in energy savings and helping you keep more of your hard-earned money.
Product Specifications:
- Material: 1/2” Rigid Expanded PVC Foam Board
- Lightweight Closed-Cell Foam: Adds strength and insulation while remaining easy to move.
- Closed-Cell Surface: Prevents moisture absorption and resists rot.
- Matte Surface Finish (Both Sides): Ideal for reducing stress on reptiles, as they cannot see their reflections.
- Vibration and Sound Absorbent: Creates a quieter, more comfortable environment for your pet.
- Low Thermal Conductivity: Provides excellent insulation to maintain a stable temperature inside the enclosure.
- Chemical Resistant and Non-Corrosive: Built to last with minimal maintenance.
- Low Water Absorption: Unlike wood or other materials, it won’t degrade with moisture.
Material Advantage:
Our enclosures are made from 1/2-inch thick black PVC foam board, a superior alternative to MDF compressed wood cages. Unlike wood, which can degrade with moisture or separate due to expansion, PVC foam board is heat retardant, chemical resistant, and waterproof. It also provides excellent insulation, ensuring your pet remains in a stable, comfortable environment. Cleaning is a breeze—simply use wet wipes to remove dirt or stains.
Airflow and Circulation:
The enclosures feature vents on the side and back walls, promoting airflow and ventilation for your pet’s health and comfort.
Temperature Control:
Our enclosures come equipped with an external thermostat to maintain the perfect temperature. To set the desired temperature:
- Press the “Set” button.
- Use the up and down arrows to adjust the temperature.
- Press the “Set” button again to save your preferred temperature setting.
The thermostat will display the current temperature inside the vivarium. A bright red dot next to the temperature reading indicates the heat source is on. Once the desired temperature is reached, the power will cut off, and the red dot will dim, signaling that the enclosure is at the correct temperature.
Assembly required –
Approx. 30 min with a Phillips head screwdriver. Cages come flat packed. When screwed together the material will form a tight seal, but for extra tight seal on walls it is recommended to apply a bead of silicone to all the wall connections. To avoid damage to surfaces, please use a liner between cage and surface. Excess moisture may saturate panels of cage over time.
We also have rock backgrounds , please visit our store.
Please Note Following :-
We don’t recommend small ceramic heat emitters or UVA+UVB light bulbs because they’re not safe for the animal, they can easily overheat and cause injury to your reptile. Some safer options would be radiant heat panels, basking bulbs or heat projector bulbs or spot basking bulbs. Our enclosures also insulate very well so you’ll need a much lower wattage bulb than you would in a glass tank. We also recommend checking over your enclosure and all heating and light sources weekly to ensure they’re all in good condition. If you choose to use ceramic heat lamp and UVA+UVB bulbs , always use protective mesh and do not use higher wattage lamps or bulbs, 25 watt is the upper limit.
General Cage Care:
- Don’t stack things on your enclosure; they are not designed to be used as a shelf/table.
- Clean with a mild reptile safe soap & lukewarm water, use a soft cloth and rinse well with clean water.
- We use diluted F-10 or a water/vinegar mix to clean our personal enclosures.
- Rinse the cloth or sponge and change water often when cleaning.
- Do not use razor blades, scrapers, squeegees or brushes.
Safety Tips:
Pet owners don’t typically think about safety when providing care for a reptile. Most reptiles are fairly low maintenance when compared to a dog or a cat. But truth be told, safety is just as important in reptile care as it is the care of any other pet.
Reptiles spend most if not all their time in their enclosure , and good reptile keepers strive to make that enclosure as comfortable and natural as they possibly can. Heating elements, lights, rocks and plants are all accessories that are vital to a good terrarium yet can also be potential hazards to reptiles.
When choosing accessories for your reptile’s terrarium, consider the following
#1 Safe Terrarium:
Choose decorations, such as rocks and plants, that have only smooth surfaces. Your reptile may cut or scrape himself on a sharp surface.
Always use globe protective mesh around heat lamps and light globes to avoid skin burns and injuries.
#2 Preventing Escapes.
It is your duty to be a responsible reptile keeper, and part of that responsibility is preventing escapes. When a reptile gets out of its cage, several things can happen — and none of them are good. If you have a dog or cat, there’s a good chance your pet snake could be bitten or otherwise injured. Additionally, if the snake gets lost inside your house somewhere, there’s a good chance it will die.
You’ve probably heard this before, but I have to say it. All snakes are escape artists. It’s not that they are exceptionally smart. It’s just that snakes don’t need much of an opening to escape from their cages. And they will explore their habitats over and over again, looking for such an opening. After all … time is on their side.
We strongly recommend that you use sliding door glass locks to minimize chances of your reptile escaping from the enclosure.
#3 Wash Plants
If you use live plants to decorate your terrarium, research them to make sure they aren’t poisonous to animals. Wash them thoroughly with water before planting them in your terrarium. This will remove pesticides, which can harm your reptile.
#4 Safe Heating Elements
Avoid using hot rocks as heating elements. These heat sources can become too hot and burn your reptile. Under the glass heat pads are safer.
#5 Pick the Right Bedding
Using the right substrate for your pet. Different species of reptiles require different types of bedding. Research the needs of your particular reptile to make sure you are giving him the right substrate, and stick to commercially sold types. These are safer for reptiles than sand, wood chips or other material gathered outdoors.
#6 Avoid Live Prey
If you have a reptile that eats crickets, don’t leave them in your pet’s enclosure for too long. Crickets can harm your reptile by biting your reptile’s skin and eyes. Give your reptile only two or three crickets at a time, and don’t give him more until he eats them. After an hour, remove any crickets he hasn’t eaten.
