Getting some Boaphiles...

[Sausage]

I'll be getting a GTP sometime this year and have already picked out a cage for it from Boaphile. I figured that I might as well switch my BP over to one as well(he's in a glass terrarium.) I'll be stacking the arboreal cage on top of the BP's cage, which will be on a Boaphile matching pedestal. Here's everything I plan on getting... does everything look good?


Boaphile 322D - $209 36L x 24D x 17.5H
+ Under Tank Heat X1- $25
+ T-stat - $100
+ 2 Black Hinges - $8
+ 321P Pedestal - $159 36L x 24D x 11.5H

Boaphile 234A - $199 24L x 18D x 23.5H
+ Radiant Heat Panel - $87
+ T-stat - $100
+ 2 Black Hinges - $8

TOTAL: $895

Thanks everyone!

Also: is it necessary to have a t-stat for each tank? I'll be maintaining diff. temps in each, so I'm guess yes.

Looks good, and you're right about the T-stat. You can control both of them with the Herpstat II, or just get two individual ones.

Cool, I think I'll get two Ranco t-stats, that would cost less.

I have a boaphile and it's awesome

you may want to call ahead and ask them if it's ok to put a 24" on top of a 36". I called them and asked about putting 24" on top of 48" and his answer to that was no way unless you got a 'coupe' (two door) style of the lower cage so that the center would have enough support to prevent the structure from flexing in the middle.

you may be fine ... but I was glad I checked in my case

I was just thinking the same thing. Generally stacking a smaller cage on top will be more likely to cause the bottom cage to sag.

True, but there'd only be 6 inches on each side of the smaller cage... which I'm guessing would support it.

I'm gonna shoot them an email now just to make sure.
