  • Patent number: 5803019
    Abstract: A reptile habitat assembly having a knock-down frame formed of a plurality of structural members joined by corner connectors. The rectangular framework is covered by a fabric screen enclosure having zippered flap at one end, which permits the framework to be inserted into the fabric cover as a unit the its fully assembled condition. Snap-fit, one-piece plastic floor and back panels mount to the tubular framework, and have receptacles for holding water, food, plants, and other features to create a naturalistic appearance. The screen covered frame structure is lightweight and shrinkable, using connectors between vertically-adjoining corner members, and the knock-down construction facilitates compact packaging for shipment, storage, and point of sale display.
