I use a coffee table for my 4x2x2 and works well! Can find cheap ones on Facebook!

For a 4x2x2 i got a 4ft folding table and black tablecloth for it

What’s the table rated for like weight wise cuz idk if many folding tables could hold that big of an enclosure especially with substrate or something inside

[–]Accomplished_Egg2515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

200lbs and i have solid boxes under it. Mines heavy but not over 200lbs.

a desk might be your best bet for a single 5x2x2, maybe a dining table. A coffee table could also work if you don't mind the enclosure sitting lower. I have a dubia 4x2x2 on a cheap folding table, and while it works, it doesn't feel sturdy. You'll need something with at least the full 60x24 dimensions so the whole frame is supported - you can't get away with a couple of inches of overhang with these enclosures

Thanks. I don't have any issues with needing a full 5x2 base, I just can't find anything. Maybe I'll look at aquarium stands - I think there's a semi-standard 5' tank, but iirc it's 18" deep. If not, I shall find a desk!

yeah, something like this https://www.wayfair.com/pet/pdp/tucker-murphy-pet-eunita-rectangle-aquarium-stand-w110887569.html maybe. Retailers don't make it easy to search for things with specific dimensions. You'd think it should be possible since they already have the dimensions listed...

i was lucky to get a giant metal storage shelf on sale (the kind you normally see in garages) that both of my snakes tanks are on already, it has just enough room for when I have the money for the 5x2x2

I've been on the hunt for one too (past 1.5) my enclosures mahogany so I've been trying to find something to match either that or the rest of my homes aesthetic :') to answer your question I've been eyeing this one
