MJ, who you might know from the Snake Trap Sessions Podcast, recently got his new arboreal snake setup up and running. A total of twelve Arcade 3x2x2 enclosures house some of his amazing emerald tree boas. Check out his whole release vlog for all the details!
Huge shout out to @whoosgeckos for the glowing review! Love to see fellow passionate keepers appreciate quality! Check out his walkthrough video and give him a follow while you’re at it 🙂
Yesterday we got the keys to two new shops for double the space to keep up the pace!
That’s right, in less than a year we’ve outgrown our current shop. Just today we have four freight shipments taking up most of the floor space. So you can imagine how challenging it has been to keep up our ludacris workflow of machining, assembling, disassembling, and packing new orders.
The new shops will allow us to have two facilities in one. With two giant roll-up doors, one end allows materials to be loaded, organized, and machined. The adjoining building will accept all the machined components for assembly, disassembly, packing, shipping and freight pickups. This will help alleviate the stop-start production we’ve been stuck with over the last few years.
This big step furthers our commitment to not just make a box, but create wacky, one-of-a-kind enclosures that drive the hobby into the future!
Stephen and I started this Focus Cubed Habitats journey in 2019 with the idea of bringing reptiles into the front room. After all, if the aquarium hobby could be so popular with beautiful aquascaped environments, why not work to do the same for our equally impressive and cherished reptiles and amphibians?
The breadth of habitats – from dry desert to chilly montane, to moist tropical – that reptiles inhabit inspires many keepers to create truly epic slices of nature within an enclosure. Our founding goal is to provide personalizable, design-savvy enclosures that equally represent and match the care and pride people put into keeping their animals.
Over the last year of working and discussing ideas with some of the greatest people in the reptile community from large-scale breeders to boutique keepers of obscure species, we’ve taken notes to create another revolutionary, or rather, evolutionary enclosure system – the EVO Series.
The tagline “Effective. Efficient. EVO.” succinctly sums up the EVO theory. Whereas our Custom Shop enclosure models give you the opportunity to customize PVC colors, hardware styles, add windows, and select from a variety of heating and lighting options for a wide variety of species, the EVO Series provides a simplified, purpose-built enclosure that offers what you need and nothing you don’t at an affordable price.
You asked and we listened – the EVO TwentyFour debuted March 6th of 2021 (and later in 2021 our EVO Thirty) as an answer to many arboreal snake keepers’ wishes and requests. The EVO TwentyFour model is built with 1/2 inch PVC, a shorter dual-plane substrate dam for easy perch removal, 1/8 CNC slotted vents for humidity retention, CNC machined perch mount holes for quick install, cord and probe slots as a standard, and a four-latch 1/4 polycarbonate door for superior temperature insulation. It can be purchased as a bare enclosure ready for your accessories, or with a variety of perches, a dimmable LED light, and/or radiant heat panel!
We’re super excited to share this project with y’all after weeks of R&D with temperature testing, humidity retention, gradients, and usability for both keeper and the animal!!
As you might be able to tell from our posts – we’re huge monitor fans here! When we had the opportunity to work on an enclosure for J. Kobylka Reptiles and his new hatchling black dragon water monitor, we were determined to create an industry-leading enclosure that surpasses the standard expectations for performance and features.
If you are curious what the next-level in keeping looks like, check out Justin’s video!

We had a wonderful time helping support the cause for their Get Buzzed For Buzztails 2021 event in May with this one-of-a-kind Ratio 4x2x2!
We’re slowly getting our house back to normal after the shop move. The croc enclosure was fun to get in place, but we managed and are quite pleased with the results!
As a little kid this was a dream 😍
We’ve been updating the website, and if you have not had a chance to check out the new menus – you might be missing out on the new Enclosure Talk videos where models and options are featured in a quick ‘n easy video format. Visit our YouTube channel and subscribe for updates!
HERPS Bryan-College Station Exotic Reptile and Pet Show was poppin on Saturday and had an awesome time talking shop with everyone!
Nothing like blending two awesome hobb…er…addictions of reptiles and motorsports with the debut of the new GT 6x2x3 exotic-inspired model! The YXZ gets to have a piece of the limelight next to Stephen’s kickin’ enclosure designs!
Snapped a some pic of the man himself trying to get out of the second photo and me rocking my J. Kobylka Reptiles shirt during setup Friday night!
