What do you use for housing your reptiles & why?

I'm retardedly cheap when it comes to caging. Don't confuse cheap with ugly or crappy though. I prefer to build my larger enclosures instead of buying them because, honestly, I'm broke (full-time nursing student) and I prefer to put my money into top notch animals. Here's a few pics of the enclosures I've built.








That's the newest design and the cheapest... I didn't how to vote for this one... is it still considered a sterilite tote?

almost always something i built because of the price and lack of avability

I build my own. I currently have 7 racks that are 8 high. Then i have one that holds 5 41 quarts. one that holds 5 -32 quarts and onne that holds 4-28 quart. Hatchling racks.... 1 holds 44 the other 55 another has 27 all 6 quart tubs. I need more of adults and baby racks.

I use glass cages and custom cages...I use custom cages because they look awesome and I use glass just because they are inexpensive and are are good for viewing..

I clicked on everything... I 've used all of those types, but right now I am using a couple rubbermaids, a few sterilites, a wooden cage, and a glass tank.

i like glass for babies and then into the plastic BOA cages....wood, can warp when moisten over time and heck fire proof cage, works for me. I raise my feeders in glass tanks and i have plenty of them to share.

Normally I use aquariums for snakes for their ability to be well secured and heated along with nice looks. But I did build a rather big wooden rack type cage for my ball pythons and blue tongue skink because I needed something accessible from the front and with a lot of floor space, and not so much height.

I keep snakes of the Agkistrodon genus which obviously includes copperheads, cottonmouths, cantils, etc. For my adults I use animal plastics T3 size enclosures 36x24x12 stacked 5 high with the ability to go to 7 high. For neonates/juviniles I'm currently using a 5 tier plastic shelf I bought at wal-mart. To heat it I use zoomed heat cable.

The plastic book shelf will soon be getting replaced. I've got my eye on some racks from animal plastics.
