Leopard Enclosure Ideas...

[djhoff22]

Hey guys, has anyone used a grow tent as an enclosure? Would the alluminum have a negative affect on the reptile? I figured it would be a good way to maintain heat and humidity by placing a screen top covered with green house plastic with air vents.

Any thoughts or comments are appreciated. Thank you!!

Sounds good to me. Don't know of any reason it couldn't work.

I use lifetime raised garden beds with a grow tent for my leaopards when indoors.

I love this! Is there a plastic layer on the bottom or how did you keep everything in?

I took Elohi's and ran with it. Check out my post to see where it started and where it's ended up.

Heavy duty (BPA-free) shower curtain makes for a good base (always let it air out for a day or two before using it).

I still have no idea how you made this work with so few heating elements. I have 2 heating lights, and 3 CHEs. My house must just be naturally cooler than yours. But THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for the ideas. You really helped create a happy home for our growing little guy!

Wood bottom but honestly I wouldn't recommend this the size is decent but over time the plastic gets brittle from heat and humidity it's cheap tho so that's to be expected oh and it was a pain to heat
