Official Chameleon Academy Products
The Chameleon Academy is a multimedia outreach hosted by Bill Strand. Chameleons are the main focus, but it is a study of how to keep arboreal reptiles. This team-up between Custom Reptile Habitats and the Chameleon Academy has been established to create an enclosure line that caters specifically to the needs of arboreal reptiles and amphibians. Through-out the Arboreal Enclosure line you will find features designed to allow you to suspend branches and plants above the floor, excellently light from top to bottom, and use multiple hydration methods.
Each of these enclosures has been specifically designed to accommodate a bioactive substrate. Though a substrate is often not thought necessary to reptiles that are strictly arboreal, our designs facilitate the increasing awareness that our job as keepers is not just to contain our reptile, but to create an entire environment to nurture our reptile.
The enclosures within the Arboreal line each have a purpose and place for where we as a community are going. And you will find each enclosure’s purpose in the product description.
What Our Customers Say About Our Products
Easy to assemble. Big and sturdy.
The snake has a better enclosure than I have in a house!
I can't believe how real and natural these look !!! Definitely worth the price
These enclosures are good quality! There were some small scuffs and dents which was expected based on the description, but I really like that they make these out of scrap pieces to reduce waste! My only complaint is that the ventilation is practically nonexistent (especially if you get substrate shields). I ended up having to drill holes in the sides to put in vent inserts because a few tiny holes is not nearly enough.
I preordered the SES 4x2x2 enclosure before my daughter ever got her ball python because I knew that we would eventually need an enclosure of this size. We wound up getting a young ball python that we housed in a smaller enclosure while we waited for this one to be ready.
The quality of this enclosure is great! My husband built it and was surprised by how heavy the boxes were, but it didn’t take him long to get it put together. His only complaint was that one part of the instructions was unclear, but he figured it out without too much hassle. I really appreciate the setup for the lighting…it’s large enough to hold different heat and light sources and I love that it doesn’t have a screen top that would need covered. We did have to upgrade our CHE, but that was to be expected with a larger enclosure. After a slight learning curve, we’ve been able to maintain heat and humidity with minimal effort. I would definitely consider getting another one of these enclosures for another pet!
These hides really are the best. No quality issues whatsoever 👍👍
Easy to assemble and generally light enough to lift on your own, this is fantastic at keeping the humidity up for my ball python.
I have 7 Whites Treefrogs and needed a large bowl that wasn't heavy. This bowl was perfect and is so realistic! Love it and will purchase again from here.
Cages are solid and easy to put together. So far we have been very happy with them and so have our snakes! One piece to one of our enclosures came broken but then had a replacement mailed and at our door within two days.
It's a very nice enclosure I wish I would have gotten the solid top for my ball python. I changed my order to the screen top so I'm using it for one of my bearded dragons. It's very easy to put together.
Assembly was easy, looks good, just wish it came with some pre-made prob holes.
It is a very well built cage. Looks good for my corn snake.
does everything i need and more! i will be picking up another for my other boa once he’s a bit older.
The maximum enclosure I ordered was so easy to assemble! It has a gorgeous smooth design and is so lightweight. Thank you!!
I was super impressed with not only how quickly this shipped and arrived at my door, but the quality is excellent. We're first time reptile owners and I was looking for a PVC enclosure for our juvenile corn snake. This is the perfect enclosure for her to grow into and out of, and I will definitely use custom reptile habitat enclosures for all our needs. The assembly was super easy and the product itself was packed really well.
Easy to build if you read everything first. Great enclosure for a long life. Thank you
