Awkward spaces
Use the space you actually have.
Custom reptile hides
When the standard hide is the wrong shape, size or fit, a purpose-made piece can solve the actual problem.
Custom reptile hides and habitat pieces made around unusual sizes, enclosure spaces and practical use. Discuss a purpose-made hide or habitat accessory with Oddball Animal Works.
Purpose-made
One piece can solve a lot.
A custom hide may be useful because the available gap is awkward, the opening needs to face a particular direction, the animal needs a different internal feel, or the piece needs to work around another enclosure feature.
Useful details to send
Photos of the location, rough width/depth/height, the animal or species, and whether the piece needs to be removable are excellent first details.
Animal use
The opening, access and placement can be discussed around the intended use.
Cleaning access
Removable or easy-access needs can be included in the brief.
Beyond hides
Habitat pieces can be broader than one category.
Bowls, organisers, enclosure inserts and other purpose-made habitat items can all start from the same question: what would make this setup work better?
One-off ideas are welcome
If you cannot find the item you need anywhere, that is a useful enquiry rather than a problem. Explain what you wish existed and we can assess whether it fits our capabilities.
Know what is being made
Dimensions, function and important assumptions are written into the quote.
Talk to the people running the work
Useful questions are easier to resolve when the project stays connected.
Updates and files together
Active projects can use a private customer page for progress, files and approvals.
Common questions
Useful answers before you enquire.
Custom work starts with context. If you are unsure about a measurement or detail, leave it uncertain rather than guessing and we can tell you what matters.
Can I request an unusual hide shape?
Yes. Send the available space and explain why a normal hide is not working. We can assess whether the requested shape and intended use are suitable for a custom project.
Do you make more than reptile hides?
Yes. Oddball Animal Works also considers other custom habitat pieces, bowls, organisers and unusual animal-care products.
Can I send photos of the space?
Please do. A clear photo of the actual enclosure location is often more useful than a long written explanation.
