Thank you ALL THE VIEWERS so much for supporting all of us in competition. We would not have the drive, enthusiasm, and joy of creating without you guys to cheer us all on. Every build is a Fundraiser for USARK and I am very very grateful to be part of such a thoughtful community of Reptile keepers. Keep up the good fight, and support USARK! A Huge thank you to Emily and Ed for thinking a kid can compete and inviting me to the buildoff. You guys are my DREAM TEAM! P.S. - I'm sorry I read a speech but I get really nervous in public speaking sometimes.

I want to give a special mention to Morgan though. I'm from Ontario too, was born around 4ish hours from Bancroft and moved to Haliburton, which I'm pretty sure it's an hour or so away. I even once went rock hunting with my family back when I was a kid, in Bancroft. I'll never forget it because I found a small gem quality garnet just sitting on the ground! They're known for sodalite so it was a decently rare find even so close to the mine. On top of all of this, my geologist mother-in-law used to go all the time as part of the Gem and minerals society. At least I think that was what she called it. We last talked about it before I had some pretty traumatic brain damage and although I remained function, my memory has never been the same. 😅 Anyway, as someone who once spent an upwards of hours in a small section of Haliburton forest just to have some me time, I can tell you that Morgan absolutely *NAILED* it! Because my favorite place to sit was a massive rock beside a little stream that ran through the forest across the street to the lake that was at the time a part of my front yard, had Morgan been able to get the water feature running, it would have been so perfect to me personally. That said, it can always be worked on until it does work, by whomever ends up with it. So I'd like to offer a special dose of *GOOD LUCK* to Morgan, and thank her and the ORR for thinking so much about and helping our little Canadian reptile buddies!

Most of my animals are tropical, so every house has a removable top, each is a hide, many different heat gradients, the top house could possibly even be a lay box if you put spaghnum in there and make it extra humid. And I put in different colored plants because research shows that reptiles can see much more color than humans can, and some colors are converted into UV for them! I incorporated stones in the lower level home for reptiles to help with shedding. And enrichment - I hope the reptile living here is enriched and very loved! @@rawrimreptar08

Did you ever think of offering a enclosure building class? The person pays a flat fee that includes the basic stuff and an enclosure. Then have someone there to help them put one together. They could buy stuff from the store to add to it or bring stuff from home. If they didn't want to keep it it could be sold in the store as a prebuilt enclosure or as a donated item for adoption island.

#1. Dave. Great story and impeccable execution. You can absolutely tell all the thought and planning that went into it. The details were stunning. #2. Pangea. Best desert enclosure by far. #3. Bob. I loved Bob's item but I wish the item would have had a broken wall to use as a hide. Luke's was impressive and he is obviously talented and passionate. and his enclosure would probably be something that would sell for more $ than the others in a retail setting. However, I kind of feel like his one special item was really SEVERAL special items and was literally nearly the entire enclosure. So, I thought that wasn't exactly in keeping with the competition. My only critique of his build was that a lot of the moss actually hid the shire and made the enclosure pretty busy. As for everyone else, they all tied for 4th. There wasn't one enclosure I didn't like. I'm jealous of all the creativity displayed and how individual every enclosure was. And, Dan, that enclosure was fantastic. No one would have known it was your first vivarium if you hadn't said anything. The sea monkeys will be VERY happy with their accommodations. 😂

man all these enclosures are so friggin cool. I'm binging SD content today and luckily I came across a build off.. was hooked immediately and binged them all. I love this channel so much and all the creators who participated.

You guys should do a reptile tour for 3mil subscribers!!! So many people LOVE this idea (I’ve posted on a couple other videos), please consider it!!

I'd honestly pay for an online tour, I'm never going to be able to visit in person but I've been watching since they bought the building and would love to see what's been added since!

First off, can I just say how HARD EVERYONE BROUGHT IT THIS YEAR!!! Absolutely superb job EVERYONE! I feel like the margin between 1st and 10th will be slim, let alone 1st and 2nd. The diversity of the builds this year was fantastic too! I honestly don't know how I'll choose. I also love watching the growth in presence & confidence of the younger competitors each year. It's wonderful to see. Second, thanks so much to all the sponsors who help make this bastion of entertainment and hilarity possible. We appreciate you. That includes, of course, Emily & Ed for having this wonderful idea in the first place & putting in so much time & effort to make sure it goes so well! Three cheers! Side commentary: Bearded dragon racing is absolutely unhinged. It is as epic as hamster ball racing and I am HERE FOR IT! I hope all those wonderful beardies find good homes thanks to their publicity. Also, thoughts on bringing back past contestants as helpers for the grand championship? Maybe even larger enclosures? Mini enclosure side quest?

I'm very happy to say that Martha aka Foggy Day (he's a male) is now home with me :) I wish I could adopt them all! Emily gets so many animals turned in. So far, we've adopted a leopard gecko,Simon (who is just the best goodest boy), an older abandoned red-ear slider turtle called Getoffmalawn (cranky but healthy), and my recent Beardie :) I'm so lucky

I´m so glad you guys keep doing this each year. And that you bring regulars as new people. As for Clint, even if he wasn´t going to be a plus 1, it is always amazing for him to see him there. Even if he just wants to hang out with you guys.

There´s also the fact that, while we see them all together like these, they do hang out in reptiles expos and I´m sure by themselves whenever they can.

I definitely think there should be a size limit on the personal item(s) next year! It's cool seeing some great centrepieces but it would be nice to see builds that are still creative but with one or two small personal touches for the next one! (Or a background, should definitely allow a background as an alternative size of item).
@amandastakeonit7402 Жыл бұрын
I agree. I vote for what is a practical and well built/designed enclosure. There's a couple in there that my animals couldn't use or that need hides added that might look cool but don't serve as a home...with space...security...

@@amandastakeonit7402agreed, I love the idea for the gargoyle enclosure but don't they need height? And lots to climb on like cresties. Don't know if it would be appropriate for the species x
@7sins_of_life Жыл бұрын
Yeah, at the moment there is no rule preventing anyone from just bringing a background with all of the decor attached to it as one personal item. One could technically pre-build the entire decor and just put some substrate around it. What's the point of the time limit then? If they can just pre-build the entire thing. I think a maximum size of 1 foot or 1/4 of the enclosure would be ok (except for backgrounds, branches or plants etc.) for a personal item (also just one personal item per enclosure). I know this is just a fun event and all, but it should still be somewhat fair for everyone.
