Boaphile.

Well unfortunately I have more bad news about the Temp enclosure I got for my Burm. He pissed a good one and I had leaking down the back of the enclosure onto the Base. Pulled everything apart and its where the Heat Tape indents are for the wires. With further investigation and cleaning the i pushed the back wall way out while wiping it down and it came right away from the rest of the enclosure like the backing of a Old entertainment center. Im over my fit throwing now and talked to the Owner on the phone. This is the newer model and he says all his enclosures over the last 20 years are glued together which I wasnt really aware of. I figured it was PVC welded. He had nothing much to say except use some more PVC glue. I also wanted to say that with the back coming apart It measures 1/8th thickness. I dont know if the floor and all is the same however i assume it is as my RHP has the whole top sagging so badly my Herpstat leans forward or backwards depending where i place it and the middle of the door hits when closing it.
Im sorry I picked it up, I cant ever resell it when Jock grows into his 8’ AP. Looks like it will be going into the garbage. Im just glad I noticed this before he pushed himself all the way out the back. I can fit my whole hand into the separation when i push. Ive hot glued it together for now and put a piece of angled aluminum across for the time being.

Me too... i think angle iron on edges will solve it.. i use small bolts with acorn nuts inside for safety and keep it for a cleaning holding enclosure i guess.

If you've already fixed it, no worries but......epoxy resin is my favorite thing on the planet and it's what I'd be reaching for with a fix like that. The hot glue might not hold but I guarantee epoxy will and it'll be water tight.

Dayum. And I was seriously thinking I'd pick up one of his systems. Not anymore. So now who to look for?

How old is your enclosure? And to be clear, this is from boaphileplastics.com?
Thanks

Boaphile = Jeff Ronne , there's only one.

To answer your question, Animal Plastics or Reptile Basics otherwise.

Reptile Basics limits themselves to smaller cages, substantial for BPs.....not for Burms however.

Thank you. Hard to believe that his response to this problem was not very positive.

I have all AP ENCLOSURES but grabbed this for a temporary one while Im waiting on another 8’ from AP. The Boaphile is 2.5 years old. I hot glued it together because I was leaving for a work trip last night and user angle iron around the outside to hold it together, then Siliconed the inside for the leaks. I gotta say Jeff wasn’t surprised nor does he have much to say. Thank God when I bought my other tthree enclosures I oordered them all from AP, can’t beat the quality and thickness of the material
