PVC cage

I thought about building a PVC cage like animal plastic T 10. So I stop a local plastic shop to see how mbuch a 1/2" x 48" x 96" sheet cost it was $150.00 that not counting the glass sliding door and all the hardware. But the cage from animal plastic for $195+ $55 shipping. So is it worth the hassle making one and try to save money? I think I'm going to break out even. What do you guys think?

IMO buy the Pre cut AP cage instead of trying to make your own. Unless you get your PVC CNC cut specifically for your cage the AP will be better in the end. Don't risk breaking even and messing something up unless you are diehard to do it yourself. My two cents.

+1 unless you just have to have it now and can't wait the 8+ weeks it takes to get it.

What they said.

I have access to a CNC mill capable of making an AP style cage as well as the computer software necessary to design one, but I still order from AP because it just isn't cost effective to do it myself. AP buys all of their materials in bulk from a wholesaler which = much cheaper.

For ball Pythons I would suggest that you get the T8. BP's don't need the extra height, and the T8 is only $150 + add ons/shipping. Plus the T8 will ship out from their shop in 10 days.

Save yourself the frustration, go with animal plastics :thumbup:

Also they have a few sizes on quick ship right now. They ship with in ten days.

I thought going with T10 because I was planning on using RHP and I'll still have 13" under the RHP with the T8 it'll give me 10" or shouldn't I get RHP?

The difference is height is negligible, and you should regulate a RHP with a thermostat regardless so the height difference really doesn't matter.
