Animal Plastics question
I think I am going to upgrade from my 40 gallon tank to an Animal Plastics cage. I did a search but haven't seen anything that addresses which is easier to work with, the swing doors or the sliding doors (and which is better for the sliders, glass or acrylic). Also would love to see any pics of white vs black cages, to help me decide which looks better. Thanks in advance.

Re: Animal Plastics question

This is a T-11 w/ sliding acrylic doors, I say go glass sliders the acrylic tend to warp/bow slightly.

Re: Animal Plastics question
I'll second the issue with acrylic warping slightly. If I'd got them again, I'd get glass.

Re: Animal Plastics question
Jotay,
I commend you for that very nice setup. Extremely attractive and still natural looking. What do you house in there?

Re: Animal Plastics question
Acrylic most definitely warps...Glass sliding or acrylic flip top is the way to go...

Re: Animal Plastics question
Thanks guys for the info on the acrylic, that was something I was not aware of. I think I am going to go with a T-10 with glass sliders, belly heat coil, fluorescent light for cleaning, Herpstat therm, and the door locks, should round out under 500 bucks with s+h.

Re: Animal Plastics question
I gotta say I love both and that picture and mine look almost identical even with cage furniture and hats!
I ordered glass but they were back ordered so they sent acrylic and then glass when they got some in. I still have my acrylic in and they haven't warped on me yet but once in a while they are tougher to slide. I figure I'll leave them in until they warp or get real scratched - the acrylic shows scratches pretty easily so you gotta handle them with care.
I LOVE my AP cage though.

500...thats a chunk of change...honestly, a T3 is really all you need. You'll save some cash and your bp will probably feel a little more secure. Remember, Bps really don't need a whole lot of space...just a nice thermal gradient, fresh water, and some cover to roam around in!
