    Has anyone ever...

    ...bought any racks from Boamaster Cages? NOT Boaphile, Boamaster. Their racks look ok but seem alot cheaper compared to others. For example: they sell a 5 tub CB-70 rack for $330(with backheat). RBI sells only a 3 tub cb-70 rack for $300 with belly heat.
    Im not willing to skimp on quality for my snakes but at that kinda price difference i was just curious if anyone has any experience with them? Positive or negative, please share...

    I'm not entirely sure but it looks like the CB-70 racks they have aren't made from PVC (certain racks on their site have PVC in the name but the CB-70's don't)

    I believe they are made from Melamine that would account for the price difference.

    I can't speak for their quality. I know there are some people on here that use their cages... not sure about racks though.

    Thanks for the info aaron. I was sorta questioning that too bc at the last white plains expo i saw a bunch of melamine racks for sale but couldnt figure out if boamaster was the people actually selling them. If they are melamine then shipping on them would be brutal lol.
    RBI is supposed to be at the next white plains show so im thinking i may just place an order with him then. Ive never seen anyone displeased with anuthing from RBI so i guess i cant really go wrong doin that...

    RBI all the way. Avoid Boamaster at all costs. Rich is a great guy the racks are amazing. We have about 40 of them. Yes RBI does vend at WP they are in the back right in front of the stairs to the stage.

    Re: Has anyone ever...

    I've used BoaMaster racks; they do what they're supposed to do...nothing more, nothing less. Can't say anything good or bad about them.

    That's the vibe I got from their website, They seem decent but nothing special
