Animal Plastics - A10 *DUW*
Alright, So I've been hunting around for a decent sized arboreal cage for my Dipsadoboa pair. And most arboreal caging was designed with boids in mind, not so much little african colubrids. So, Since I already have some of their racks and terrestrial caging, I decided to try the A10 model for arboreal. Got it shipped on time, arrived today and I just finished setting it up and already, I am totally stoked about it. Pics of the set-up to follow.
Just out of the box

Had a radiant heat panel drop-shipped from reptile basics, AP installed it.

I really dig it, so far. I'll post a few more pics once it dries and I get it furnished...... Oh and dimensions are 2 x 2 x 3. :gj:

Awesome cage, I love AP!
This is the first time I see pics of their arboreal cages, they look great.

heh...dog bum..
Wicked enclosure! Can you reveal price (or price range) for the enclosure and the installed heat panel?
Re: Animal Plastics - A10 *DUW*
Without the heat panel it was ~$300 shipped (including light, locks, etc). AP offers belly heat on these, as well, but I wanted to go radiant. The heat panel and drop shipping was ~80. I will likely pick up 3 more of these and stack em, now that I have seen the finished product. For my particular application, these are just about perfect. :gj:
Base price on this model is $240, then you add in what you want.

I think they look great! Sometimes it costs a bit to get something that is awesome looking, durable and functional but its worth it in the end usually. Congrats on the set-up.
Re: Animal Plastics - A10 *DUW*
Alright, So I got the new digs half finished (still need to pick up some more fake vinery), and my spunky girl is moved in and testing the place for weakness. She's in shed at the moment, so she'd not as bright as she normally is, but you get the idea..... I'm also going to have to change the light in the cage as the yellow hue is driving me nuts trying to get a decent pic....
