Which PVC tank should I get?

I've decided to get a PVC cage for my ball python. (Which I don't have yet so waiting times don't affect me as much.) Which brands do you use and are there certain pros and cons you've noticed? I'm looking for vents, locks, and a divider.

Inspite of my current frustration with Animal
Plastics, it is a nice enclosure and will be great once I can actually use it 😳

I really like my Constrictors Northwest pro-line enclosure. It's very solid without a million screws, goes together in less than 20m, and looks quite nice. Price is similar to other offerings, but the HDPE material is much less prone to stains than standard PVC, and it won't shatter if you drop it or it gets beat up during a move.

It is vented on the top-back side, and holds humidity very well. I ordered mine with a lock, didn't bother with a divider, but surely you could request one if you needed it. I'm heating it with a pro-products RHP, another awesome quality piece of hardware.

One thing to note is that it did NOT come with sealant as some other enclosures do, but a quick trip to home depot or lowes and a few bucks will get you what you need. Lead time on the two cages I've purchased was 4 and 6 weeks.

For my arboreal snakes I love PVC Cages. pvccages.com

For my others Animal Plastics is my first choice.

Both of these makers produce a solid cage that looks nice and works great.

I got all AP cages. They are awesome. I had a Pro-Line cage but i sold it. Didnt really care for it and after 3 years, it sagged in the middle pretty bad. Plus it really didnt seem very sturdy. The cage flexes and twists. Ap cages are heavier but they are built like tanks. Very sturdy and well constructed. Plus i personally prefer sliding glass doors as it has saved me a few times from my retic and bigger boas who have sometimes gone bananas during feeding time. Here is a pic of my T10 stack on the left, T8 stack on the right and to the right of that will be my T25 stack when it gets here in July :)

How do you feel about Custom Cages (https://www.customcages.comhttps://w...tomcages.com)? It looks fine and you desgin your tank throughly. Does anyone else use it?

I use Animal Plastics - based on other users recommendations, ease of ordering, customer service, quality, price, ease of assembly, customization when ordering, and now that I own 3 of them ease of cleaning and ability to hold temps and humidity. I think that about covers it, for now LOL

I have a 4th T10 on order to complete the stack.
