That said, I haven't seen a Boaphile cage meant for retics.

I called the Owner at Boaphile and he acted like it was no big deal, I have the good one with black hardware and all.. I said “what can I do now” he said “do what I do and PVC glue it back on... “
I was furious. The back is just glued like a old entertainment center. I only use it now when Im cleaning a cage Gio but its Junk. The top is now touching the plexy so I have to lift up a little to close the door. The RHP makes it sag because the PVC is so thin. (24”x15” RHP)
I wouldn’t even sell it to anyone as id be afraid their snake would escape and Id feel responsible.
They make up to 8’Lx 2’Dx 17.5”h enclosures for larger snakes.
All I use now is AP.

That’s not good.
I never knew that. I actually thought the units were one piece with no glue.

I never liked the ceiling space even for boas.

Retics are another ball game

Mainland retics are all together different.

She's really pretty.

I’ve checked out Animals Plastics’ cages, and they seem to be reasonably priced.

animal plastics is awesome. But lead times suck. If you want to go
this route, order now. I’ve been waiting since mid October 2019 for mine.
