Best brand of custom PVC caging?
Hi all,
I just got my ball python but I am already thinking about his cage upgrade in about a year, and I would like to know what brands people have liked for custom PVC enclosures. He is in a PVC enclosure now. It is the first time I have had a PVC enclosure and I've decided I really like them.
I would like a freestanding unit with a 2ftx2ftx4ft enclosure on the bottom, a 1ftx2ftx4ft spacer in between for lighting/equipment, and two enclosures on top: a 1ftx2ftx3ft enclosure for my crested gecko, and a 3ftx2ftx3ft enclosure for another snake of an undecided species.
Here is my wishlist:
-Black PVC body
-Glass sliding doors (hinged for smallest tank)(acylic door is the only thing I don't like about my current PVC tank!)
-Full perforated metal screen tops
-Must be separate enclosures for ease of movement
-Bottom edges must be sealed for bioactive
-Must be able to choose placement of all ports and vents
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Why do you want a full mesh top? I don't know about cresties, but for your BP it's so much easier to maintain humidity levels with a solid top. I bought RHP from ProHeat and they've amazing; so much better than the UTHs I've I had before. They are kind of pricey between the panels (I needed 2 for the size enclosure I got) and thermostat but imo worth every penny.
I'll check it out! Full mesh works much better with my preferred lighting setups- I don't like having them in the enclosure for safety and it makes arranging the UV/DHP combo much easier. I don't have issues keeping humidity up with full mesh the majority of the time, and when I have I just cover some of the top with glass or acrylic.

I will check them out! Not worried about money or time, that's why I'm planning a year in advance haha!
