TERRA V7 - Enclosures for reptiles, inverts, plants and more

🦎 Terra V7 – Reptile Nursery Cage
Built for the animals. Designed by someone who actually cares.

This is the evolution of my original Terra V5 design—refined, more efficient, and easier to print. The Terra V7 exists for one simple reason: because animals shouldn’t pay the price for what we can’t afford.

Too many hatchlings are raised in groups—not because it’s what’s best for them, but because housing them individually is often expensive. I designed Terra V7 to remove that excuse. These cages are affordable, functional, and purpose-built to make individual raising the standard—not the luxury.

🧠 Why I Built This
🧱 “It’s small.”
Because it’s meant for hatchlings. Chameleons, anoles, and other small reptiles thrive when raised alone, in controlled, stable environments. Terra V7 gives them exactly that.

🧬 “3D-printed means it’s weak or porous.”
Not here. I’ve designed this with real-world use in mind: tight tolerances, solid structure, ventilation where it counts. These cages are made for daily misting, substrate, and plants—and they hold up.

💸 “Why not just buy nursery cages?”
Because a single commercial nursery cage can cost $40–$60—and that adds up fast. With Terra V7, you get three cage sizes (Small, Medium, Large) ready to print, and the freedom to make as many as you need, for just a few dollars in materials per unit.

🆕 What’s New in V7?
Rounded Interior Corners – Easier to clean and better looking.

Integrated Back Frames – Snap-fit top and bottom, no rivets required.

Built-In Misting Ledges – Add up to 4 nozzles anywhere—or none at all.

🔧 Key Features
Custom Vent Placement – Add as many vents as needed, anywhere you want.

Two Door Options – Choose between screen for airflow or clear acrylic for visibility.

Simple Pivot Door – No hinges, no latches—just clean, functional geometry.

Corrugated Plastic Construction – Easy to source, lightweight, and reliable.

Waterproofing Ready – Optional: seal the base with silicone and lock it in with a dab of superglue.

🐜 More Than Just for Reptiles
Although Terra V7 was designed for reptiles, it works great for invertebrates, amphibians, and insects too. The customizable ventilation and misting options make it easy to adapt to a variety of small animals.

🧡 Final Thoughts
I’m just one person trying to make it easier for others to do right by their animals. Terra V7 exists so that no keeper ever has to compromise care because of budget or space.

Print one. Print ten. Raise them right.

No more excuses. One animal per cage.
