    Recommended BP enclosure links?
    I'm looking to get a T8 soon or T10 for all 3 of my BPs.
    As of now, they are in plastic tubs, which had been working out nicely but would rather switch for cosmetics.
    Just want options is all and price ranges!

    From what I've seen so far, AP has the best prices for PVC enclosures, though the wait time is lengthy. I think the T8 enclosures are still on sale (150 each), though with black friday coming up, there may be more sales popping up. Then you'll want to factor in the heat source. Radiant heat panels are a godsend (proheat is the best out there), and if you have them shipped to AP they do beautifully seamless installations. That's my sales pitch :) they really are fantastic though, I have 6 of them.

    Radiant heat panels? I'm guessing that's how heat works for that type of enclosure? I don't know specifics yet, just know I want sliding glass T8s.
    I have no idea on how to heat them or anything yet :P
    But thank you! I shall keep an eye on AP then!

    I spent about 20 minutes on the phone with each Eli from Animal Plastics and Bob from Pro Products yesterday. WOW, talk about incredible customer service!!!! They are very understanding, knowledgable, and patient.

    Eli said they will most likely not have any "black friday deals" and the sale that is happening now will stay for a bit. They are in the process of having their website redesigned and updated and at that time the sale will most likely end as they haven't had a significant price increase in a few years.

    Bob from Pro Heat offers the "safest" RHP on the market according to our conversation. He's also been a snake keeper for the better part of 30 years so he does have a handle on what we're talking to him about. Bob also spoke with me about saving money, not with his product but with other things we discussed, and that speaks to his character in my opinion.

    Just my 2 cents because I literally just talked to both about setting up my new enclosure.

    Happy Thanksgiving!!!

    Radiant heat panels are panels you attach to the top of an enclosure that radiate heat downward. They're great for pvc because they don't kill your humidity, and they're also really energy efficient. I go with proheat because they are the only panel that's UL certified.

    I've got two sliding glass T8s, soon to be three. You won't be disappointed with them! They are super easy to put together, made to be stacked, and look really sharp. I wasn't big on the locks that you can order with them, though. I use sliding window locks from a hardware store, cheaper and easier.
