First Custom Reptile Cage

[PramMavenOfficial]

This is an awesome song! I'd love to cover it. If you screamed the chorus it would sound like Local H.

[KatelynLuvsLizards]

lol my water dragon doesnt even drink his water. he just pees and poops in it and then leaves it and climbs on his branch under the heat lamp hahahahaha

[MrTiagoSkater]

[novafww]

@TheCaptainSmudge Can u send me a copy of this song please =).....

[xKNCx720x]

aww such a great cage for a cute lizard, i used to have a water dragon, i was gone for a week and the pet store was babysitting him, when i came back he was dead so i got an iguana. his name is sock :) ive had him for two years<3

[MyReptiles101]

r those real vines or just like exo terra stuufff

[TheCaptainSmudge]

@MyReptiles101 Exo terra stuff. I don't have a green thumb so real vines wouldn't work for me.

[RokinFreakShow]

Its a nice tank but you could of improved the finish of the paint and if you put a waterfall instead of still water it will improve the look of the tank and benefit your dragon loads more as they like running water and will drink out of it more naturall but great work though ;D

[TheCaptainSmudge]

@RokinFreakShow The tank is ever changing. It's had a waterfall and a bunch of water in the bottom. It's changed every major clean out. The problem with having a waterfall is the fact the water gets dirty fast. The fall that I had was also a filter but his waste is more than the filter could handle.

Check out my set up please comment any suggestions or mistakes I've made

[apoc123ify]

The cwd will grow out of the enclosure so you will need to look at a new design in the future, but maybe by building a cage without a bottom cabinet will give you extra space you require. Well done on a great job and a beautiful tame cwd. So young yet seems so calm. My old cwd at that age was like a hyper active lunatic on drugs.

[TheCaptainSmudge]

@apoc123ify He's fully grown now. He just had a 5 year old female in with him who is the same size as he is. The cage size is plenty of room for him. Eventually I'd like to build him one with more depth. Thanks for the comments. He really is quite tame and always has been. Very trusting of us. I know it's not usual behavior especially when they're small.

[BeautyBeardyandBaby]

Wicked tank. I hope to someday build a custom like that for a water dragon to live in.Need more time and space!

As for the song itself is pretty awesome. Just a few recording tips:

I think you need to try out some different overhead or symbol samples, gets pretty annoying listening to the same crash throughout the whole song.

Also the drums come in off time at the start of the song, but pretty good I know how time consuming and difficult it is to program drums.

More Vocal Mixing

Good Job!

[Ramosgt3]

Hey where did you get the glass and stuff

[TheCaptainSmudge]

@Ramosgt3 I had picked up the Plexi from a job I was working. It was left over cuttings from another job.  The wood I had laying around as well. You can get both at Home Depot.

[MickolaustheWonder]

Loved your design and I actually really like your song. Its raw and driving. I dig it.

[SASMetalhead]

Nice job on the habitat and nice job on your tune!! Thanks for subscribing! I should have a few new vids in a week or so. Keep Rockin!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[InkBleedsDeeper]

i love the tank, and the song!

[TheCaptainSmudge]

@InkBleedsDeeper  Thanks!

[DavidFrom209]

for the top part, did you use glass or plexi glass?

[TheCaptainSmudge]

@DavidFrom209 Plexi glass. I just happened to have it around.

[DavidFrom209]

@TheCaptainSmudge looks good! can you keep a CWD in there for life or will it out grow it?

[TheCaptainSmudge]

@DavidFrom209 For life! They get big but he'll be happy in it. This would be the minimum you'd want to use. We may eventually build him a larger cage when we have more room to accommodate one.

[goflyers544]

what r the demensions of that beautiful cage

[TheCaptainSmudge]

@goflyers544 The original aquarium is 36x12x17 the top portion is 36x12x18 (total height 34 after overlap). The base is 36x12x30.

[DARKANGEL8920]

What kind of wood and paint do yous?

[TheCaptainSmudge]

@DARKANGEL8920 On this cage it is spruce and oil based paint. I have switched to latex paint because it dries faster and the smell goes away faster. Oil based takes two weeks to be rid of the smell and allow for reptiles. Latex takes only 24 hours.

[upinsmoke656]

nice song and enclosuer.....:)

[Clambercty]

I have a question is that a glass tank on the bottem? If not how did you make it NICE CAGE LOOKS PRETTY SICK!

[TheCaptainSmudge]

@Clambercty Yes the aquarium on the bottom is a 30 gallon. Thanks for the comment. Be sure to check out the other custom builds as well. :)

[SilverRaiyne]

Hey this is so awesome, I'm seriously glad I came across it. I've been stressin lately cuz my burmese python is quickly outgrowing his enclosure and i'm in a small apartment so it's not like i can build him the huge cage i've always wanted for him, but this idea of yours might really work for us. oh and btw, screw what bubba said about your music, i was thoroughly enjoying it and plannin on lookin into who the artist was before i found out it was you. do you have anymore?

[TheCaptainSmudge]

@SilverRaiyne Thanks for the comment. I'm in a small apartment too so I've had to be creative with my reptile cages. You may want to check out my other videos for other ideas too. I played in a band for years and we recorded stuff similar to this song. This is one of the first songs I've recorded after getting away from music for years.

[MrBubbazanethi]

nice cage and clear pictures but this soundtrack? what's the bands name? depressed lazyness or something?

annyway you've don a great job!

[TheCaptainSmudge]

@MrBubbazanethi I wrote and recorded the song myself. I'm a throwback from the grunge era so it is what it is.
