I’m going to be striping and redoing the enclosures as I am moving them to another floor. Good time to do so this spring, anyway, as I have had a mealy bug and scale war going on in them and I’m losing. The enclosures have filled in very dense since most of my pics.

here’s another one, first planted (some more branches and plants were added up high while they grew in):



This past fall (its close to ceiling of cage now). And no - these two did not swipe right.

Once again it is time to inspire those who want to get creative and be innovative with their enclosures! We have two other threads dedicated to enclosures, but I think it is important that we showcase how the hobby has continued to evolve in recent times. Show us your updated, original, bio-active, free-range, outdoor and greenhouse, cabinet-conversion, custom built, breeder, and any other high quality enclosures. Please share the equipment, plants, drainage, etc. that you chose and help others to improve their own projects!!!

Let’s see some great enclosures!!!

OMG, these all look amazing.

 

[GrayMadder]

Mines pretty bland compared to everyone else's. But my dragonstrand enclosure and the grump who lives here ❤

 

[GrayMadder]

Here is my recently completed enclosure. I repurposed an armoire.

It’s easy, even with the screen in front. Zoom in at the middle right side

Isn't that where I circled? I can see at least 2 other possibilities within a couple inches of that.

Then 1" to the right of my circle. Tail only—she's vertically upside down.
