THE SECRET'S OUT!!! 👀

For those of you following the Snake Discovery: Reptile Store & Zoo 2024 Enclosure Build-Off Championship, we are excited to OFFICIALLY confirm that Bill created Enclosure #8, the "Princess Mononoke" themed enclosure!!!

This 6x2 enclosure from Custom Reptile Habitats was designed with a skink species in mind and features a variety of climbing opportunities and hiding spots to support natural behaviors. Bill's personal item was the glow-in-the-dark kodomas that were hot glued to a string of fairy lights (note: this took some trial & error to get them attached correctly!) and then adhered to the branches. Additionally, the enclosure is fully bioactive with live plants and a cleanup crew of isopods!

Our video is still coming soon - we're just putting the finishing touches on it! - but since others have seen the (awesome) videos from our fellow contestants, we wanted to showcase our build here!

Voting for the build-off continues through Sunday, August 18, and we'll drop details below!!! 😀
