Hello everyone, future BTS owner here, just working on getting a set up first. I have been looking for the right cage/terrarium/enclosure. I stumbled upon this
https://www.diycages.com/ site and was looking at the HC4 JUMBO. Its a 4ft long, 2ft wide, and 2 ft tall enclosure with screen sides. Just wondering if anyone has any experience using one of these. I have tried searching on here and other forums, but due to the name of the company, most searches just come back with individual DIY projects. Thanks for your time, and if you have any pictures of your HC4, I would be most appreciative.

I would just say be careful. very careful. I had my skink in a used exo terra cage, about 4 years ago, and he ripped the lid off and was lost in our house for 6 months! if they can escape they will.

I actually found out about diycages here from someone's recommendations, bought 2 a couple months ago. I'm very happy with them, the price was great, they were very easy to put together.
I got the critter condos in 4x2x2. I'm not so sure the screen cage would be a good idea either way but definitely wouldn't work out of you wind up getting an Indonesian area bts who needs higher humidity contained in the cage.
This is what mine look like, the 2 on the bottom

Thanks for the picture and information. I am going to my local reptile shop on Friday to check out some of their selection, see if they have a nice set up, otherwise I might end up ordering one of those. If it matters or if you have more suggestions I plan on getting a northern BTS. I know they require less humidity, like 30-50% so I don't imagine I should have any issue with the enclosure.

I could not ask for better personalities in my 2 bts, they're wonderful...and they're both Merauke. So, I'm biased

Let us know what setup you decide on!
