Here is a poll exploring where we keep our reptile friends. From modestly made but nicely spacious homemade vivs to the latest in commercial caging, where do YOU keep your reptile(s)?

I'm trying to get new cages built so I can get everybody into nice looking cages, but it's been a time-comsuming project. I have a few in homemade cages, but the rest are in tanks or rubbermaids. I do have one *nice* display cage for my green tree monitor, made by Tom McCarthy, but it's the only one I've had the money to buy.

Dante is in a 55 gal aquarium with a screen top. I hate it, because it's going to be difficult to safely get him in and out when he gets bigger, but it does the trick for now. We're planning on investing in a Boaphile cage sometime in the future.

Xander had humble beginnings, as well, but he has a home made wood and wire cage - 4.5'x4'x6' that he lives in. His cage is in it's own room, and is heated and humidified separately from the rest of the apartment, which is nice. Spoiled rotten lizard

i didn't vote. i use custom built cages for the bigger snakes, and a rack, glass aquariums and rubbermaids for the smaller ones.

I build all my own cages i am way to cheap to have some company make a cage for me also i build my own so that i get an exact fit in the room i want it to go into. For Burmese though i am going to make a special door for one of the bedroom and put down tile flooring with heated tiles and temp control gage outside of the room. I have also bought a some heat lamps that i am going to have to find a way to install them i am gonna have to be some what creative as i dont want any cords in the room with the burmese and my girl doesnt want me to break any part of the house.

I have three visions and one glass tank for a small king and one homemade enclosure.I intend on making or buying one more to finally be rid of all the glass tanks..I personally have to much trouble with glass tanks, cant stack them and they are hard to keep heat and humidity in our dry,cold winters and Im always afraid Im going to break them when I clean them. But know I have like 5 glass tanks stored away and dont know what to do with them.
