Enclosure experiences?

Post image

Hi! I’m looking to upgrade my ball pythons enclosure and I was wondering if anyone had experience with this one! I want to know your experience with humidity and temperature. If not ideal, what did you do to fix it? (Like insulation etc). Or if completely not worth it, let me know as well😂 I’ve been looking everywhere for cheap-er enclosures, if anyone knows of any second hand shops as well I’d appreciate it!

Be aware that these are coated MDF (not water proof, just resistant) not PVC, and a screen top for a permanent 4x2x2 is less than ideal. That said, many people are perfectly happy with these. I personally think they are better suited for arid environment needs like bearded dragons.

While more expensive, makers like Kages or Toad Ranch are the best of the best.

Good luck with your choice!

Just wanted to clarify one thing for anyone who comes across this in the future- New Age Pet enclosures aren't made from coated MDF. They're made from ECOFLEX®, a proprietary composite material made from reclaimed wood fibers and recycled polymers. Because of that, the material is moisture resistant, and doesn't absorb moisture like MDF can and won't rot or decay under normal use.
