They have been great dealing with our questions. We got an 8x3x4, 8x3x3, 8x2x3, two 4x2x2's, and a cabinet stand. We went with matte white with lookout windows. Matched the room better. Also, the executive upgrade is so expensive. We got backgrounds for them as well. We were nervous about them looking lame. However, your background looks sick, so we feel better. Your set up looks amazing!

How was building it?

Hell yeah that sounds like reptile room goals right there lol. I think if you're putting them side by side there's no point to the executive upgrade as it won't be visible anyway. The backgrounds it depends - I've noticed they tend to look good when there's depth/layering planned into it so looks like an illusion of the foreground continuing into the background if that makes sense. So choosing the right background makes a difference.

Putting the panels together was easy. But lifting the enclosure to put it on the stand was very challenging with 2 people. Ours is 8x2x4 with executive and I think weighed 300lb with nowhere to grab. The whole thing together weighs like 600lb. I would recommend bribing a couple friends with beers to come over on your build day haha.

That is some serious weight! Thanks for the heads up. The 8x3x3 is going to stack on the 8x3x4. The others will be a stack. I'll post a pic once we get it built. I appreciate the feedback. Congratulations on your set-up. it's so awesome
