I was going to tag this on to my earlier post about thermostats, but after doing some seaches to no avail I thought it might make a good thread. Please feel free to direct me to any old threads that I may have missed if this has already been discussed.
Anyway, I just started shopping for one of those big (4' X 2' X ???) plastic display cages for my new boa. I might also buy one for my ball python. It looks like there are at least four primary sources for this type of cage. I've looked at RBI Plastics (Reptile Basics), Animal Plastics, Boaphile, and Vision. They all appear to be similar, but have slight differences. Is one better than the others? Vision seems to be the most expensive. Is there a reason for this other than the name? And then there are the choices in doors. There are sliding glass doors, sliding plastic doors, and hinged doors. Which one is the most convenient for taking your snake in and out, or for cleaning. What about heat? Does one cage brand make it easier to add Flexwatt, or CHE's, or lighing?
Finally, what do you put your cage of this type on? These are big, but not very tall. Do you buy the pedestal that goes with the cage? Can you put it on top of some filing cabinets or something similar with no support in the middle? What is your setup like?
Thanks in advance for your advice. :worship:
