CagesByDesign.com partners with Jack Hanna to outfit Columbus Zoo
In spring of 2007, Custom Cages partnered with Jack Hanna and the Columbus Zoo to completely renovate their holding room for promotional animals. These are the very same animals you see Jack on various television shows with. “We are very excited to win the approval of such a conservationist and well known figure in the industry,” says Adam Keller, president of Custom Cages. “We are very happy and honored to do this for them.” In October, the Custom Cages team installed the over $50,000 worth of enclosures and accessories for Jack Hanna at the zoo. The cages hold everything from macaws to snakes to armadillos.
MTV’s “Pimp My Ride”
CagesByDesign.com helps “Pimp” her ride!
In June of 2006 a terrarium built by CagesByDesign.com was featured on MTV’s “Pimp My Ride”. In the words Gyasi, of one of the professionals at GAS “Galpin Auto Sports” who renovated the WWII style Volkswagen, the terrarium was “the bomb!” CagesByDesign.com custom build this enclosure to what Gyasi described as a perfect fit for the back seat of the vehicle. This is just another one of the advantages to CagesByDesign.com’s enclosure system, they can be custom sized for just about any application down to about 1/16th of an inch! The owner of the vehicle featured in this episode is going to use the enclosure to transport her California King snakes and her Ball Pythons. All the inner accessories such as bark, vines, and logs were also provided by CagesByDesign.com with one exception, the TV! The GAS team also installed a tiny television into a rock mounted inside the cage so even the snakes could ride in style!
Bravo’s “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”
“I think they are the most beautiful cages you can buy!” – Thom, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
On June 6, 2006, CagesByDesign.com’s enclosures were featured on the season premier episode of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”. The fab five took their skills to Las Vegas and renovated an entertainer named Max Clever. Max does an animal/comedy act at the Stratosphere hotel and casino. The producers of “Queer Eye” contacted Custom Cages in March of 2006 to help them in their renovation. The Custom Cages team went quick to work to set up the perfect enclosures for a pair of cockatoos. The enclosures could not be missed during the show as they are the focal point of the interior renovation. In one scene (shown below), the fab five introduced the new cage to Max with great excitement, and at one point Thom (the interior decorator member of the fab five) even said “I think they are the most beautiful cages you can buy!”. The Custom Cages team wishes good luck to Max and his wife, as well as all their pets!
