Dalbarb Snake Enclosure

Has anyone seen or have one of the Dalbarb Reptile Wall Units? It says on the Dalbarb
website that the unit has a "built in hide box". Where abouts? I love the look of these units, just the thing to keep the wife happy! Trying to get a return email from Dalbarb seems impossible. Anyone know the price?

Id say if you cannot see the hide box in the picture it may be a false floor hide.

It works out the same price but my enclosures are bigger.
The one I mean is 2100mm x 600mm x 1200mm unit.

Auzlizardking what would you charge (very approximately) for something
similar??

I have seen one of these at a shop. The other cupboard underneath which is closed in the picture is the hide box. There is a hole in the floor of the main enclosure leading down into it, and underneath behind the cupboard door is sliding lockable glass.

Very good looking unit, but very expensive.

We worked it out to be around $1200.00 in a hard wood and $680.00 in melamine

That is a tempting price. I can see the hide box now. If you enlarge the pic on the left it is in the right hand side with the open door, clever.

Yes they will only sell to businesses. We use dalbarb at work and they are a great tank to use and sell. The reptile enclosures are neat and tidy but are a little expensive IMO.

Considering it's pretty much the only real one-time expense apart from the python itself, I don't mind spending so much. Going to be looking at getting something fancy like that for my Bredli in the near future.

There is a pet shop here that has one, it is huge, looks great though. There is a piece of pipe that sticks up through the floor and goes down into a small glass box/hide in the bottom behind the doors. I asked they guy at the pet shop "how much?". He said around "$2,500"
