The Gorgon's Head small family run enclosure builder & reptile breeder

Ok so 1st off, if I've been slow responding to everyone, I'm sorry. (Been sick most the week and just haven't had the energy to people)

So as everyone has probably seen already
Custom Reptile Habitats/maximum reptile LLC has closed down... I've watched them spiral down since 9/24, and tried to warn as many people as I could 😥.
I never want to see a company go under, but I do not feel bad for them seeing how they reacted and are still blaming customers for their down fall.

We as a small family run operation understand the hardships of a small business, we understand every dollar matters, and as much as I wish we could help everyone that was effected by this shutdown it's just not feasible (from a business stand point)

But here at TGH we will do what we can to help those that had orders never fulfilled by CRH/MR.

Anyone that wants to TGH a shot, we're offering 20% off standard sizes, and 15% off Custom builds to those effected (will need proof)

Keep in mind we don't have our own building, we don't have cnc on site, we do this all by hand, and basically all myself (chris). So we aren't the fastest build times, we aren't the cheapest, but you won't find better quality for the cost and I strive to have the best customer service I can provide.

Could even play with the idea of a "pay if forward type fund" if anyone wanted to donate to help those who are out on this whole shutdown situation? (I don't know, I just hate that this happened, and want to help the best I can.)

Not as perfect as I'd like, but it's technically 1st one like this one I've done, hit a few snags while working on the polycarbonate, but it's finished.

👀...

01/10/2025

I'm really liking this stainless steel hardware cloth 😅

12/31/2024

Now this build I'm quite proud of 😅
2 - 36x18x18's with sweeter heater panels, and a custom storage base.

12/29/2024

Well apparently we make cat carries now too 😅
Got 3 that get fixed tomorrow, so why buy 3 carriers when I can build them.

12/25/2024

Well 2024 is coming to an end, and man has it been a rough year 😅, but I wouldn't have it another way.
Thank you to all the amazing people who keep me building and make it all worth it.
So from our family to yours...
Merry Xmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Bodhi Day, Las Posadas, Omisoka, Saint Lucia's Day, Yule.... if I forgot any I apologize, and Happy Holidays from TGH

If everyone can go through and report these as harassment, I'd be forever greatful... I bust my ass to have my 100% rating just to get tanked by bu****it scam profiles 😭

12/22/2024

Well s**t, 1st time I've had to delete comments 😅 some scammer I pi**ed off when I called out his page WS Reptile Hub & WS reptiles

12/19/2024

We have 1.2 patternless het leucistic FL pines still looking to go 👀👀👀
Making a drive to Fayetteville, on Sunday, and a drive to GA Monday(GA trip isn't 100% yet)
Can drop them off on the way either trip, so let me know if you know.

12/17/2024

*GONE*

*ignore the clutter* it's in a messy storage/burmation basement area.

It's dirty, but will clean before delivery/pick up.
Have a custom top turtle/tortoise tub.
(Been using it for 2 small tegus as a temp housing.... for longer that I wished)
2 hinged top doors with large plexi windows, center piece bolts to the tub and has ceramic socket & 2ft t5ho fixture.
Can add a side window for viewing if requested.

12/11/2024

1 of 3 finished, all white 96x24x24, basking and dual 2ft t5ho fixtures.
I'm nice even with white, but I don't like it 😅 the pvc dust is so light and fluffy it gets everywhere.

12/02/2024

Just gotta add the right side vent, but the 1st TGH 72x24x72.... I dig it.

12/01/2024

It's getting there 😅 left side 99% done (gotta do the front vents)
Right side will be finished up tonight.

Then bolts the halves together and wait on the glass.... this thing is definitely cool and I'm glad I got to build it

11/27/2024

Ugh my hand hurts lol, but got the stainless steel hardware cloth installed on this half of a 72x24x72 enclosure.
Against family's wishes I will bleed and break myself to build whatever you think up.
Now to put the back on, add the front plates (so it can have upper/lower front vents), round all edges (so you don't bleed from the enclosures), and get the glass ordered..... then it's off to SC.

11/27/2024

*and they're on hold/gone*

So we have a surplus of 100 African soft-fur rats (live) would like them to go as a bundle. Sizes are mixed from weaned to med-large-ish.... let me know

11/04/2024

Took me over a year to spend 2 nights on myself, but 3rd of the 4 72x24x18 double faced enclosure is built.

10/29/2024

The very 1st TGH Radiant Heat Panel...
This 12x24 panel is 190w. Based on the same Heat system in our incubators.

It will be a while before we'll be actively making and offering this.... but just wanted to show off a bit 😅

Well it's been a long day & 350$ later, I've got about 90% of it fixed again.... ugh was supposed to be running deliveries yesterday, today, & tomorrow.... but looks like I'll be 100% back together tomorrow. (The drips are old coolant, it stopped like 5min after the video)

Some oldies, but goodies. Just say the word and TGH will build whatever you need to house those scaly babies this holiday season.

Headlight video since you can't post videos with pics 🙄

The messy time consuming side of building. The side hardly anyone knows about, this was day 3 of cutting, shaping, and routing out 134 rack shelves. No big fancy machines, just a couple routers, bits, jigs, and a ton of dust.
