Literally, the only difference building your own is making a few simple cuts and drilling some holes. I think i'm in the wrong business... lol
They only go 4ft long so it wouldn't work for me....

Only applies if you have all the power tools needed plus the room in the garage. Also you have to factor in the cost of 1/2 inch CDPVC sheets, not the cheap expanded stuff. Plus unless I'm mistaken, glass is pretty expensive.
But i do agree, you could make them cheaper yourself as you dont have to pay for some other guys time. But heck if you are building your own, just buy a plastic welder and weld your cages like Boaphiles. I do like the welded cages.
And honestly, for the smaller cages, I'm not sure how much cheaper they really are. AP T8s are $150. Thats pretty cheap. A sheet of 4x8 CDPVC would probably cost around $90 and the glass would cost another $50? The bigger cages do get more expensive but again a T25 72x30x18 cage is $399. I imagine that would take at least 2 sheets of CDPVC plus 2x 3 ft glass doors. The killer on the big cages is the shipping. I paid over $300 in shipping for my 3 T25s as they are considered oversize and had to come by freight.

You could probably find longer sheets if you called a plastic store/company. Like here in my area we have a place called Tap Plastic which will cut stuff for you to your size and color but you do pay lol.

The biggest on their site is 8x3x2. They also have an arboreal 6x2x4.
Re: Animal plastic Cage's.
4x2x12" for $150
4x2x15" for $195
I actually ordered the 4x2x2. Hopefully it will show up in a couple weeks.
