Sliding Door Reptile Enclosures – Built for Durability, Optimized for Versatility

Upgrade your reptile’s habitat with a vivarium that’s engineered for strength, simplicity, and serious keeper satisfaction. The Vivarium 48” Sliding Door Enclosure Series is built from a premium aluminum extrusion frame with high-quality PVC panels, combining lightweight durability with effortless assembly. Each enclosure includes tempered glass sliding doors, a bioactive-ready base, and a heavy-duty screen top - everything you need to create a safe, clean, and functional environment for your animal.

Available in four different heights to meet the needs of terrestrial, semi-arboreal, and arboreal reptiles.

Choose Your Height:

60 Gallon – 48x24x12” (Terrestrial)

Perfect for terrestrial species that thrive with more floor space than height. The 12” profile supports burrowers, ground-dwelling lizards, and other reptiles that don’t require vertical climbing space. Ideal for leopard geckos, blue tongue skinks, uromastyx, and other terrestrial keepers looking for a sleek, functional habitat.

85 Gallon – 48x24x18” (Active Terrestrial)

A step up from the 12” without going full height. The 18” height adds moderate vertical space for light climbing and enrichment while keeping plenty of floor space, making it a great fit for bearded dragons, leopard geckos, blue tongue skinks, and most semi-arboreal snake species.

120 Gallon – 48x24x24” (Semi-Arboreal)

The best of both worlds - ample floor space with enough vertical room for light climbing and environmental enrichment. The 24” height makes it a go-to for a wide range of semi-arboreal reptiles, from young boas and pythons to monitors and larger geckos.

    180 Gallon – 48x24x36” (Arboreal)

    Built tall for species that thrive off the ground. The 36” height supports vertical behaviors like climbing, perching, and basking - making it an excellent fit for arboreal reptiles such as Amazon tree boas, emerald tree boas, leachianus geckos, and chameleons.

    🧱 Aluminum Extrusion Frame – Lightweight, rust-resistant, and incredibly strong

    My baby loves his new home!

    The enclosure is perfect except I really wish there was an option to get a screen top or a pvc top. I'm worried I will lose a lot of heat and humidity with a screen top, but I heard this was the best brand to get a 4 x 2 x 2 from.

    Amazing!!

    It is amazing and I love the color and it was easy to put together! If you’re using it for a snake, I do recommend the cover for the top! It really works is been holding the heat and the humidity perfectly. I highly recommend this product.

    Hi Lisa,

    Thanks for sharing your review! We're so glad to hear you love the Vivarium 48' Terrarium and found it easy to assemble. It's great to know it's working perfectly for your snake!

    Love it!!

    It’s one of the best PVC enclosures on the market! Easy to put together and the fit is perfectly snug, so you can trust how sturdy and durable it is! I own a few and love the aesthetic of the clear view!!

    Great tank

    So far I'm enjoying them. Have to make the side vents are locked in and not just placed, my found that out pretty quick lol. Still working on building mine before my Ball Python goes in. Wanting to customize it with foam and stuff.

    Only thing I don't care for, which isn't directly related to the tanks, is the extension kit. They are just injected "C" channel plastic supports, which to me doesn't really seem Saturday when holding a whole other tank up, but so far it's doing its job however the years are young.

    Great, Sturdy PVC Enclosure!

    This is only my second PVC build, but wow was it easier and SO much better than my first. No banging mallets anymore! I absolutely love how sturdy this build is and purple is my favorite color. It all came together very simply (I am glad that my mom helped me build it, it's much easier with two people.) Shipping was quick. The box was slightly torn (probably happened during transport) but everything inside was in good condition. The instructions were clear which was a plus since my first build from Symton didn't even come with instructions at all!
    I was a bit concerned about glass doors, but they are ridiculously smooth!
    The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because there is one piece that wasn't listed anywhere in the instructions and I have no idea what it is?
    My Ball Python is loving it and I am loving how well built and secure it is!

    Vivarium 48" Sliding Door Reptile Terrariums - 24" / Black

    Great Buy worth every penny!! Would love to have a lock or the option to buy one with the sliding glass doors (had to find one myself) but still a great buy. Bottom is very sturdy and beefy and extremely easy to put togeather, much easier then the other guys ( I have the competitors and will buy this from now on)

    Best for the buck

    I ordered 2 4x2x2s with the stand on casters and the 10 inch stacking kit. I am not handy at all and still had it upright within an hour. It’s literally 8 screws per enclosure. Solidly built and looks great. Entire build cost less than some individual enclosures. I highly recommend.

    Couldn’t Be Happier with it

    Recently purchase (2) 4x2x2 enclosures with the stand with casters and 10” stackers. I’m not handy at all, and had it all together and in place within an hour. Literally 8 screws per enclosure. It looks amazing and so far my Bearded Dragon and Ball Python are each enjoying their new homes.

    4x2x2

    This enclosure is amazing . We have a ball python and the space is amazing . Built and shipped amazingly well. The purple is amazing . Loved how the floor is sealed as well. The Pvc walls are awesome for humidity . I went from spraying my old exoflex petsmart enclosure twice a day to stay up with humidity, now I spray once a week. Couldn't be happier for the price !

    Stunning!!!!

    I LOVE it! Super high quality and luxurious. I have bought other enclosure in the past, but this one feels like my money was worth spent! So beautiful the purple trim. I am very pleased! Very quick shipment! Thank you! I will buying another again for my other beardie:)

    Very Happy 5 stars!

    Just put the 4x2x2 cage in purchased together, well my husband did and it was as easy as advertised (read the tips at the bottom of the sheet first) we didn't and still had no issue! This product came well packaged, on time and is fabulous considering prices are going up this a FABULOUS value! My beardie now has all the room she needs. Please excuse the picture I included as we will be upgrading all her set up now that she has more room.

    2 inch casters are supposed to be available per their assembly instructions. However, this apparently is not true.

    Hi Douglas,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. To clarify, the base includes standard locking casters, and the optional 2-inch wheel kits mentioned in the manufacturer's manual are not offered by our store.

    Solid Workmanship and Easy to Put Together!

    My only real concern is that I need to get the screen off and on repeatedly to set up heating elements, apply caulking, etc, and the screws are a little difficult to maneuver out of the corners. However, when it is fully assembled it looks great!

    My two daughters the builders

    I am old with bad hands. So my two grown-up daughters put together my enclosure. They had trouble with one screw on the inside for the substrain bar. Other than that went together like a charm. And is doing everything I was hoping for.

    Hi William,

    It's great to hear that your daughters were able to get the enclosure together and that it's working out so well for you! We appreciate you sharing your experience.
