    Looking for new Cage

    Hey guys, I haven't been around in awhile but I'm looking for a new enclosure for my jungle carpet. preferably a display cage...or one of those plastic cages, I was thinking of boaphile or http://www.showcasecages.com/ does anyone have any experience with either of these people or does anyone have any suggestions...does radiant heat work well? and anything else you might find useful would be greatly appreciated

    I don't have any experience with that particular company, I custom build all my own cages! All of my custom cages get radiant heat panels, and all by pro-products.

    RHPs work very well in y opinion. They replicate natural heat best and if used with a good thermostat ate extremely accurate.

    All my cages that I make get a pro-products heat panel attached to a herpstat.

    constrictors NW comes highly recommended from many in the morelia community.

    Animal Plastics is well-liked by all their customers.

    The only product from Boaphile I have any interest in are their ball-room racks.. but that's just me personally.

    I use 11'' flexwatt on my 4x2x2 AP cages for adult carpets. I'm thinking the next time I buy some cages I'll go for RHPs for heating. Flexwatt provides a hot spot, but really does nothing to get the ambients up, particularly on larger cages. The future plan is to get Constrictors NW cages and fit them with RHPs from pro products.
