What comes with your Royal Lounge

• A Cliff Hanger climbing shelf, already in your build. A 39" x 10.5" shelf mounted to the back panel — a second level to climb and bask on. A radiant heat panel can sit above it, where a heat lamp cannot.
• A Double Wide Bask-N-Hide, already in your build. A 16 1/4" x 12 1/4" x 6" hide box with a real slate basking surface on top. Somewhere to warm up and somewhere to disappear, in one piece of furniture.
• Steady heat, humidity under your control. A solid top is standard, so the enclosure holds the conditions you set — temperature and humidity, both adjustable with the vents. Most setups run lower wattage than they would in a glass tank.
• A frame that stays looking new. 3/4" HDPE, USA made, UV stabilized and colored all the way through, in seven finishes. It will not delaminate, chip, rot or swell, with superior scratch resistance. It also resists fingerprints.
• Doors that glide. The glass rides on its own track, quiet and smooth, and the track continues down the sides of the opening for a finished edge. Both doors lift and tilt out for cleaning.
• Glass you can trust. Two 1/4" sliding tempered safety doors with every edge polished, certified to ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Category II and etched to prove it — the more stringent of the two federal categories.
• Ventilation that moves with you. Four Adaptive Vents across the upper back panel. Every one takes a cover or a fan, so airflow changes as your setup changes through seasons and species. Covers and fans sold separately.
• Panels built for the climate inside. 1/2" American-made PVC on top, bottom, back and sides. Holds temperature steadily and stays true in heat and humidity.
• Built for bioactive. A 3.5" lower frame comes standard to hold your substrate and keep the glass track clear. A 6" frame is available in the options above for deeper soil.
• Wiring that stays tidy. Six cord slots in the top edge of the back panel for UVB, LED, heat and probe leads.
• Stacks without spacers. Two stainless steel dowels in our locking dowel system, which lines up across sizes so habitats, stands and hoods interconnect.
• A clean finish all round. Color-matched screw covers, so no screw heads show.

Preselected together, the shelf and Bask-N-Hide come to $15.98 less than buying them on their own.

Configure your Royal Lounge

Perforated aluminum screen tops, lookout windows, side vents, extra climbing shelves, grommets, probe channels and custom cuts are all chosen at order time, in the options above. See every option explained.

Prefer fewer vents, extra probe holes or cord slots somewhere specific? Select it above, or email us and we will build it your way.

Royal Lounge specifications

Toad Ranch sizes are true-to-size exterior dimensions. The Royal Lounge measures exactly 48" x 24" x 24" on the outside, which is the number that matters when you are fitting it to a space.

Built around a ball python

Eight square feet of floor gives an adult ball python a real warm end and a real cool end, with room to cross between them and a hide at either end. The included shelf adds a second level — ball pythons climb more readily than they are given credit for, and a secure route up is one of the easiest ways to get a shy snake moving in the open.

The Bask-N-Hide does both jobs at once: a cave underneath to feel safe in, and a slate top that holds warmth above it.

Heating and lighting for a solid-top enclosure

A solid top helps maintain stable temperature and reliable humidity. Fit your own heating and lighting and the basking site goes exactly where you want it — and moves if your setup changes. Heating and lighting are sold separately.

A typical warm side

• Two heat fixtures side by side make one broad basking zone. Two lower-wattage bulbs work better than one hot point, and they can run at full output without pushing past your set point.
• 50W–100W basking bulbs, chosen for your species and your room temperature
• A deep heat projector for radiant warmth with no visible light

Lighting

• A 2.5% UVB fixture. The spacing works out on its own here — 23" of interior height, less 1.5" for the lamp holder, less the 6" Bask-N-Hide, leaves your snake’s back around 12.5" below the bulb. That is roughly UVI 1.0, the top of the range for a shade-dwelling species
• Cluster the heat bulbs and the LED over the middle of the UVB tube, where UVB is strongest — heat, light and UV belong together, the way they arrive from the sun
• An LED bar for daylight spectrum, and for plant growth in a bioactive build
• This size enclosure can fit Arcadia fixtures up to 35" long

Safety

Any heat fixture mounted inside needs a wire safety basket, particularly with snakes and climbers. Mount them no closer than 6" from a side panel, and 6–8" apart on center. Do not place a heat fixture directly above the climbing shelf. Always pair heating with a thermostat and a probe. If you would rather keep heat and light outside the enclosure entirely, choose the perforated aluminum screen top above.

Recommended for this size

• (2) heat lamp fixtures
• (2) wire safety baskets
• (1) Arcadia LumenIZE ShadeDweller 24" ProT5 Smart UVB Max Kit, 2.5%
• (1) Arcadia LumenIZE Jungle Dawn LEDBAR, 23"

Assembly

One screwdriver, one screw size, no special tools. The front frame arrives pre-assembled with the glass track fitted; you fasten five panels to it. It goes back together at home the way it came apart here — same panels, same holes, same hardware.
