    Quick question about Cages
    Hey, I know I must of asked these kind of questions to different people multiple times, but this is the last time I will be asking and want a few different opinions, I'm from the UK so I cant order PVC cages which is something I really want but today found out I had a close family member living in america who is willing to order the PVC cage to his home in the US and post to me here in the UK. I just want to know what PVC cage I should buy for a permanent male ball once he hits 500grams I want to be able to leave him in their for a good while, I would appreciate if you could send links directing me to the PVC cages, I literally know nothing about sizes etc or PVC cages so when I go onto the site its confusing. I would also like the divider.. so any help will be extremely appreciated!

    Thanks

    I use the Animal Plastics T8. It is a 48" x 24" x 12" cage but is shipped unassembled (so it costs a lot less to ship) I have yet to find another cage maker that makes a better product.

    I get them with a divider so smaller snakes can feel more secure (or house 2 snakes in the same cage)

    So all I really need to buy is the T8 cage swing door with the lock and the divider or would you advise anything else to include?

    They are in Denmark, some of the nicest racks and enclosures I have ever seen.

    Another option, in the end it is very close to a PVCx enclosure not very costly all in all.

    60x60x35 would be perfect for all BPs but the largest females and the 30x90x35 would be good for even the largest. They look to be roto mounded plastic and in my experience these are superior to slab build enclosures for the round corners.

    So a male ball could live the rest of his life in a 60x60x35 from 500Grams? I just want to gather as much information about everything before I make my final decision on which cage to buy, because I want to buy something that I won't have to change/upgrade if you understand what I mean.. I also like the idea of having a Divider with the apcages in case it is too big.

    I would also like something that UTH can easily get through which is why I am not looking into the wooden ones.
