Reptarium 260 gal Reptile Enclosure

I bought this for my friend. And it was exactly what he was looking for. It was perfect and GREAT price.

Bought this for my veiled chameleon, Pro's: It's very large and there won't be any need to upgrade to anything larger. Con's: The plastic poles are so cheap that they crack when you assemble it. The zipper also becomes a pain after a while. Very low visibility with this type of mesh. Also for the price you pay the liner for the bottom should be included... In my opinion the Con's outweigh the Pro's, I'll be sticking to the reptibreez cages from now on.

Remember, this is a nylon zipped enclosure, nothing fancy here at all. It's much darker than the photo you see, but it does lighten up depending on the bulbs used. Be careful when opening the zipper to feed your cham, because it is extremely lightweight, so it shakes easily. The zipper is very strange because there's no easy way to water plants or feed, you have to fit your arm into the enclosure and try not to bump and shake stuff around. PROS: Keeps crickets in - no escapes ! Large size Easy to assemble CONS: 1) PVC tubes are very lightweight, so can break/crack very easily (esp. when assembling) 2) PVC center area is only in the middle, it would be great to have another one higher up so you can use it to attach stuff (thinking of second level more toward the top, say 4 or 5 inches down) - but they would still need to be stronger of course. 3) Never tight enough to put bulbs on or anything else, like a mister or fogger or something on top (like the bulbs in the picture). Even with the attached pvc clips (they give you 2 to attach to the top, but doesn't do anything on a 260 gallon) so the nylon is very saggy if you attach anything. I have some Magnaturals vine bridges attached and that pulls on both sides a lot, there's no way to attach anything else to the enclosure without a major sag, cutting holes, etc. so don't bother. 4) Can't add holes or cut into it at all - it will snag and/or droop. Another issue is finding a decent sized bottom to use for catching water, etc. - very hard to find anything that fits (those high priced garbage bags they sell for it are useless, very hard to clean out and look ugly anyway). I ended up buying a round PVC tray used for a water filter, and that works to a point, but still not great because the corners are exposed. I am still searching for a perfect square tray to use. The size that fits is 26", because of the pvc tubing, you can't go any larger. I also use the Reptifogger, which is currently sitting on top of thick cardboard on the top (temporarily until I find a realistic long term solution). The fog works great though, goes right through the nylon without having to make any holes, my cham loves it. Update: I've had this for several months now, and I'm finding it EXTREMELY HARD TO DECORATE. I can't find any proper way to put vines or anything that my cham used to have in there. All I have now is a standalone tree and a few bamboo sticks criss-crossing in there to give him something to climb on - and some Magnaturals Bridges but they do pull on it a lot. It's been a major hassle. I'm thinking of completely replacing the PVC tubing with my own, stronger tubing instead, and creating a new frame that has an upper level where I can attach stuff.

Simple but adequate for my adult chameleons. Easy to assemble yet looks really cool with my super large terrarium/chameleon habitat.

Sent it back.
