DIY Plywood Reptile Enclosure (Small Version)

Welcome back to the second installment of the Plywood Enclosure build. As I stated in this video, I highly recommend watching the original build first (if you haven't already), so that you know exactly what I'm doing in this video. To avoid redundancy this build is presented in an abridged format. Follow the link below if you want to see the original build.

The enclosures that I built in this video are best suited for tropical environments. If you are looking to make something like this, for an animal that requires more airflow, you could easily modify the design to include more ventilation.

I realized that I failed to mention the size of these enclosures in the video itself. That said, they measure 24"x24"x30" so they are each about 75 gallons. However, the light compartment takes up 15 gallons, which leaves 60 gallons of usable space.

You may wonder why I would go through the trouble to make something like this instead of buying a commercial enclosure. Well in making something like this, I was able to get exactly what I wanted. Plus I don't really care for the viewing panels on most enclosures. My 125g vivarium taught me that I want max visibility and won't take anything less (that tank is ridiculously hard to see in), so I came up with this.

If you have any questions let me know in the comments and I will do my best to get back to you.
