Wondering about...?
Are all enclosures expandable?
Yes! Any enclosures can be combined length-wise on the 2'x2' side. Any enclosures of the same size can be combined height-wise and depth-wise. All enclosure combinations are done with extension kits.
Are PVC enclosures easy to clean?
They sure are! PVC itself is resistant to damage from water and many chemicals. This means you can wash it and sanitize it repeatedly without worrying about mold or rot if it isn't dried properly like with wood enclosures. Remember to seal your seams with silicone to prevent leaks and spills though!
Why choose a PVC enclosure?
- Super insulating, keeps the heat & humidity where you want it for the ideal reptile environment.
- Material itself is waterproof inside and out so it can withstand exposure to frequent cleaning and moisture.
- Save money in the long run, high quality PVC enclosures can last an extremely long time with proper care & insulating properties reduce energy usage.
- Apex Reptile modular enclosure system means no need to replace your enclosure when your reptile grows out of it.
- Great at absorbing sound and vibration to reduce stress on your reptile from day to day external noises.
- Opaque matte material can reduce stress caused by reflections in more nervous reptiles.
- Easy to add enrichment, you can screw into the material to attach any accessories or decorations.
Are these enclosures suitable for bioactive set-ups?
- PVC enclosures are ideal for bioactive setups thanks to the material's insulating properties which help maintain a stable environment for plants and animals.
- The material itself is waterproof both inside and out, preventing water damage and making it easier to maintain high humidity levels.
- Keep in mind, it is still important to seal the enclosure seams with silicone once assembled.
How do I heat & light this enclosure?
- Solid top: Use radiant heat panels, ceramic fixtures and UVB light bars that screw directly into the lid. If using a ceramic socket, try to get one in a metal bracket like this. (+ make sure to cage heat elements for safety.)
- Screen top: Place domes and UVB bars directly on screen top or hang over it.
- Do not use: Heating mats and under tank heaters. This material insulates too well to use these safely!
How do I set-up a reptile enclosure?
Here are the top 10 things you should look into and have prepared before your reptile's moving day:
- Appropriate lighting equipment (e.g. UVB bulb, UVB fixture)
- Heat source (e.g. ceramic heat emitter, radiant heat panel)
- Thermostat to regulate and measure any heating equipment
- Thermometer and hygrometer to monitor temperature and humidity levels
- Substrate (e.g. coconut fiber, reptile carpet, paper towels)
- Decorations (e.g. hiding spots, climbing branches, water bowl)
- Silicone sealant to seal the seams of the enclosure
- Cleaning supplies (e.g. reptile-safe disinfectant, paper towels)
- Accessories (e.g. feeding dishes, misting bottle, tongs)
- Decide on a sturdy, flat space large enough for your enclosure to sit on.
