Good place to buy Enclosures/Terrariums in Canada

[foshizzle11]

Hi there,
I am looking for a 24x24x48" setup and I have found loads of good deals in the US but everything in Canada is over $175 for that size of home for a new male panther I am getting around Xmas time.

I am just trying to get the setup ready early to avoid hiccups later.

Any suggestions would be great!

check out some of the site sponsors and compare shipping since you have some time yet.

That is a good idea, thanks for the tip!

DIY's (sponsor) price is so good, even if you had to add shipping it would be a deal. That being said, I am receiving mine Wednesday and have not yet gotten personal experience with them but the things I have read about them are all positive.

DIY will not ship internationally, only US

Hi fellow Canadian!


Make a cage! It's almost as easy as assembling a store bought one, and wood is awesome for attaching stuff to. It cost about $90 for the 2x2's, and another $40 for the screen, and the bottom varies depending on what you want to do for drainage.

Ya, we considering building a custom cage out of wood and screen that we could buy at any hardware store.

We have priced some materials and we could do it for about $50.

We will keep looking but custom might just be the way to go!

What kind of wood are you using if you're paying $90 for about 25ft of 2x2's? I think you might have overpaid a bit

Ok so we paid about $50 for the screen alone. The wood was about $75. But our cage is 48x48x22. It is pretty big and custom. We didn't design it thinking of drainage so we are going to design another one to replace it. Thinking 2x2's and elevating the bottom of the cage a bit for a drainage pan. Right now we have a bucket and a live plant that gets most of the water which isn't enough. Custom is the way to go.
