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
My Ball python loves this rock! I find him hiding under it often.
This enclosure is easily the best 6 foot enclosure on the market. It is simple to put together and decorate. It has huge internal volume. The screen mesh lets a ton of all light through. The sliding glass doors fit perfectly, though the handles could be bigger. I have a 6 foot Essential and 6 foot Evolution and prefer the Evolution for its clean looks and ease of assembly. My only wish is that there were light/heat cutouts on both sides of the PVC screen cover. For such a long enclosure, you might need heat on both ends. The wait times are LONG (measured in months instead of weeks) so I would recommend going to Snake Discovery to get one if possible.
As a reptile owner on a budget, this enclosure is phenomenal. It's the same quality as the standard enclosures, just has some scratches on it due to it being made of, essentially, off cuts. My snakes don't mind in the slightest, and I can confirm it's runt corn snake proof.
Couldn't find anything of this size anywhere else.
Great enclosure but took a month and a half to get it unfortunately.
Couldn’t be happier! Just the perfect product, super easy to install and my ball python loves the extra climbing opportunities! Shipped quicker than I thought, too! Worth every penny and I will 100% be ordering again in the future!
Its perfect on size and really easy to assemble, Im very satisfied.
Love this bowl. Looks great and my ball python keeps using it as a hide
I love it so much. It was easy to put together (I’m disabled and I was able to put it together all by myself) and it looks absolutely stunning in my room. It holds humidity so well and the doors are so nice and easy to use. It’s a fantastic size, lighting looks so good in it, and my ball python is super healthy and content. The topper makes everything look so nice, clean and sleek with all of my reptile related clutter and cords hidden away
Took me under 20 minutes to set up, the thick PVC is also perfect to drill things into it.I’ve had the vertical 25 gallon for my crested gecko for a year and will never go back, I just purchased the horizontal for my Pac-Man frog
Custom Reptile Habitats makes the best reptile enclosure hands down. The build quality is very high and the design is top notch. The mesh top is step ahead of everyone else and these enclosures will last forever. I also own the Evolution 2.0 6x2x2 and would probably select that one in the future. (It has tempered glass, is easier to build, and is more like one big enclosure than two 3 foot enclosures stuck together.) Lead times were very long, so just plan ahead and you, and your reptile, will love this amazing enclosure.
This is one great enclosure. I am upgrading from a glass enclosure. This one hold’s humidity way better. This one is for my ball python (Gus). I can’t wait to get my second one that I ordered a week later than this one and it will be for my milk snake (Bruce). I wish I would have got the extra security brace for the doors though when I bought my second one. I think I’ll need them for Bruce. I’m glad they put the wait time on the site so it is not a surprise on the wait. It took longer than expected because of material back order they said but these things happen. I like how everything is pre assembled before shipped, it goes together very easily. My next purchase from you guys is a sky hide. Their communication is fast to answer questions too. Thanks Nate
I love everything about this enclosure! The quality of materials, the craftsmanship and the design are all absolutely phenomenal. Some may not like the length of the wait times for (some of) their enclosures but for the perfection Custom Reptile Habitats delivers, I would wait much longer. The customer service is absolutely amazing as well.answering all of my questions and concerns asap and if the person on the phone doesn’t know the answer, they found it or someone who does and got right back to me. My favorite part is the lighting/heating compartment. It is completely sealed off from my snake so she can’t mess with her heating elements anymore. She loves to try to pull the safety cages off the ceiling every chance she could. CRH checks all the boxes. But it’s not my opinion that matters the most, it’s my baby girl; my ball python Glizzy. She absolutely loves her new space, spending her time investigating every inch at first then finding her favorite spots to settle and watch. Glizzy seems much more content in her new environment then ever before. I can’t thank custom reptiles habitats enough for the amazing work they are doing. I will definitely be getting anymore enclosures from CMH in the future.
