    Animal Plastics
    I was wondering if anyone here uses the Animal Plastics cages for their bp's? I am currently debating buying a 3 tub rack, but since I only have two snakes and can't add anymore at this time, I am considering getting two stacking cages. I also really enjoy the visual aspect of the tanks/cages, even if the snakes aren't always out and about. Animal plastics so far have the cheapest cages. Showcasecages are nice but a little more expensive. If anyone is using the Animal Plastics cages, can you post a pic of your setup please? Or just give me an opinion on these cages so I can decide a little easier which way to go.

    Animal Plastics is all I use, I highly recommend their products and customer service.

    It's kind of hard to tell on the site, but do those cages allow for an overhead bulb? I have to use overhead lighting in the winter here.

    They can literally make you any style you like. I would give them a call, really great people to work with

    Why would you use overheat lighting for heat? Just use a RHP. WAY safer and more efficient plus wont suck the moisture out of the air. And to answer your question, yes you can. Just need to add the 8" or 10" circle you want cut in the top and where you want it cut but again, in a PVC cage, I always use RHPs, one of the advantages of PVC cages over glass cages.

    Yeah the RHP is something I looked into I am buying Two cages and I have buyer hem fairly quick before the summer is over so I'm trying to save money where I can. Eventually I would like to get an RHP for both cages

    I use AP and am very happy with them. T3 or T8 for adults. If yours are still small, you can get a single cage with divider for now. Once they reach adult size, remove the divider and get a second cage.

    I love AP cages. They are the only professional cages I have used. (I used them for retics and burms, though.) Now that I'm into balls, I will be getting more for them. They are amazing cages and very affordable. :)

    Alright, so after doing some research I finally decided to go with two t8 cages with an RHP from pro products in each one and bought a herpstat 2. Thanks for all of the input, it helped a lot! I'll post pics in a few weeks when they are all set up and looking good :)

    I am going to do the same set up, but with the T3! Ha ha! Too funny. I just got my herpstat and love it and I cannot wait to get my heat panels.
