    Just ordered my cage!
    So excited! I am on my way now :)
    hoping to have my setup tested and go BP shopping by Xmas :D

    all I need now is a thermostat and some decor :carrot:

    I went with the black.

    waiting won't be too hard since I have a bunch of business travel coming up. Wouldn't want to have it any sooner since I won't be able to fill it until I knew I would be home to take care of any new animals

    Nice, I like the black myself. That's awesome! Can't wait to see a pic of your new friend in it all setup!

    This setup will be for a ball python, and from there I hope to be adding a couple arboreal snake setups after a year or so. Maybe add a couple of boas much later if I have indeed lost my mind with this hobby as I did with fish :rolleye2:

    interesting thing about the boaphile cages...I called to ask if the 422D (48" long with single door) was strong enough to support two 24" arboreal cages on top. Good thing I asked because the answer to that was NO. You can stack as many 48" cages as you want, but not put two shorter tanks on top of a long one.
    The answer to the problem was to buy a 'coupe' cage, which has two doors with a center rib. that design adds a lot of strength to the center of the cage so I can mix and match what I put on top of it.

    I am very pleased, since the two door design seems to have a few advantages in my mind...less heat loss during access, less open area to manage when you open the cage on a faster type snake...ya know?
