Modular & Custom Reptile Enclosure Stand Kits/Services

User Need: The user is looking for a specific frame to elevate a reptile enclosure. Key constraints include:

1. The frame must be flush with the sides of the main enclosure.
2. It needs an open front.
3. The open front section must accommodate a slightly smaller enclosure on casters underneath the main frame.

This highlights a need for customizable or purpose-built furniture solutions, especially for reptile owners who often have specific spatial and functional requirements.
