Custom Enclosures


 Custom Enclosures

Built for Animal Comfort, Designed by Keepers Who Know Their Stuff

 

We don’t just make enclosures that look good, we build them to match your animal’s natural behavior, climate needs, and lifestyle. Every setup is handcrafted by experienced keepers who understand the species you’re working with. Whether you’re going bioactive, desert-dry, or fully tropical, we’ll build something functional, safe, and built to last.

All builds are done in-store at Cold Blooded Kingdom and available for local pickup in Huntingdon Valley, PA.

 

 How It Works

We offer two options:

  1. Bring your own front-opening terrarium
    (We do not work with top-opening tanks, as they’re difficult to access during the build process.)
  2. Start fresh with a new glass or PVC enclosure from trusted brands like Exo Terra, Zoo Med, Zilla, or Vivarium Electronics

 

(We’ll help you choose the right size and style for your animal)


Each build is designed around your animal’s specific needs, from small geckos to large monitors.
