Re: Please recommend an enclosure
My T3 arrived and it is sooo cool!!! I have never seen a material like this. I really feel like I got my money's worth. I swear, this plastic is so strong and light weight, I bet you could stack like 5 of them on top of each other. ;) An absolute cinch to put together and this from a 31 year old woman who is so mechanically clueless, she has never owned a tool in her life. I had to borrow a screwdriver to put it together. I really like the swing doors I got, it allowed me to put in a whole bag of wood shavings and none of it spilled on my floor.
In fact, I just a few days ago reserved an '05 CBB northern blue tongued skink and I plan on getting another AP cage for him. (I already named my new BTS: Bubba the Blue Tongued Skink.) Not sure what size cage yet though. But looking at this T3 cage, I can't imagine a skink needing more room than this, maybe so though. I'll call the AP people. They probably have some good ideas on what to get and all the accessories and they were really great to deal with before as well.
I have to say though that I already wish I had gotten the optional light. It is awfully dark in there. Good for my little man, but difficult for me to check things out. I will have to go get a little pen light or something for spot checking.
Shahrazad seems to have settled right in. He took one lap around the cage and went back to sleep. He is such a sweet boy. He now has a home that is nearly as beautiful as he is. Hopefully we will be near each other for decades to come. :love:
Welcome home Shahrazad!!!!!!!
Awesome job AP!!!!

depending on what type of animal you have, you can make your own using any appropriate sized rubbermaid type storage bins. i have my bp in there and humidity has never been easier to control as well as the temps. just solder some holes in the sides and have a good top on it and you have your cage for about 15$.

I know that I could have done his cage a whole lot cheaper that way, but I chose to spend the extra money because I wanted something that was of high quality, lasted a long time, but also, something that I could consider to be decorative furniture. The T3 is gorgeous. I got the black one with the stainless steel hinges on the doors and it is quite slick looking. I think I am going to get a white one nxt time. True I paid $240 for this thing including shipping, but if Shahrazad has even a relatively short life of 24 years, that comes out to $10 a year, as I am positive this cage will have no problem lasting that long. When I look at it like that, I have absolutely no buyer's remorse.
