254: Design Better Reptile Enclosures with This Tool | CritterCAD

<p>What if you could build your reptile enclosure before spending a single dollar? In this episode, I sit down with Daniel Wilson, creator of CritterCAD, a 3D vivarium design platform that helps keepers design naturalistic enclosures, experiment with layouts, and evaluate their husbandry using a species-specific CARE score. We discuss how the software was built, the challenges of turning husbandry into a digital tool, the role of community-driven care information, and where CritterCAD is headed next. Whether you&#39;re planning your next enclosure or just love innovative reptile-keeping tools, this is an episode you won&#39;t want to miss.</p><p>SHOW NOTES: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/254-crittercad/SPONSORS: Visit The BioDude: https://www.thebiodude.com/ Visit Zoo Med Labs here: https://zoomed.com/JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/animalsathomeLINKS FROM THE EPISODE:CritterCAD: https://www.crittercad.com/ https://www.instagram.com/crittercad/Photos and Video in Episode:Provided by Daniel Wilson0:00 Intro</p><p>3:40 Welcome Daniel &amp; Background</p><p>11:11 Career &amp; Education </p><p>13:16 Intro to CritterCAD31:29 Live CritterCAD Demo and picking enclosure</p><p>40:11 Substrate</p><p>57:48 Backgrounds</p><p>1:03:42 Lighting </p><p>1:10:45 Generating a Shopping list</p><p>1:12:45 Plants &amp; Adding the Animal</p><p>1:16:28 Care Score</p><p>1:26:00 Adding Custom 3D Assests</p><p>1:38:00 Final Words on CritterCAD</p><p>1:41:50 Outro</p>
