I just got my new enclosures from Animal Plastics and thought I would show them off a little. They are a custom size (48"L x 18"D x 22"H) which I got because I already had the stand. I am using 80 Watt Radiant Heat Panels from Reptile Basics in both enclosures and I also have a heat pad under the hot side of the BP enclosure. I am using Eco-Earth in the BP cage and lineoleum tile in the beardie cage. I have had my Beardie (Cletus) for approx. 3 1/2 years and my lovely pastel BP (Otto) for approx. 2 weeks, which is courtesy of TheMightyOscar (Thanks again Dan!). I am not completely dome decorating the BP enclosure, but it is well started. All questions, comments, and criticisms are welcome....

One thing I forgot to mention is they are both getting ready to go into shed, so their colors aren't as vibrant as usual.

Why??? They are so docile (most of them at least). Mine is a little puppy dog.... Even when they do bite, its not so bad.

Great herps the BP is in Heaven and the enclosures I love. I use both PVC enclosures and tank .


How did the enclosures ship, did you have to put them together?

Would you get it again? I ask as was looking at their T13 model and 30 deep is big difference from my 55 gallon tank.

I absolutely love the enclosures and the people at Animal Plastics are wonderful people to deal with. I did have to put them together, but it only took me about 15 min per enclosure. They assemble them in the factory, then disassemble and ship.

Would I buy them again? Definitely. When my collection expands, I will be buying from them again.

Ahhh...its no worse than pinching your finger in something. The main thing is don't pull your habd away if it does happen. If you do, a tooth may break off and give you a nasty infection. I'm telling you though....99% of BP's won't bite. They would rather hide than bite.

By the way...I am not a huge fan of this sub-forum. It doesn't get the same traffic as the main forum.

Yeah...he ate about 2 weeks ago. Refused again last week. I'm going to try again tomorrow. I'm really resisting offering him live food because it then might be tough to go back to f/t.

He ate a nice big, fat adult f/t mouse last night. I think he refused last week because he was in shed. I found a shed in his hide this morning.

I agree. A lot of people frown on giving them a bunch of room and say that they will not do well with a large enclosure, but I feel that as long as you keep it crowded in the enclosure with decor they will thrive. Mine seems as happy as a pig in ****....so I am going to keep doing what works for him.

Thanks again for the kind words from everyone.
