Boaphile Plastics "rating"

I am definitely biased towards Animal Plastics. I have three T-10's and they are top notch cages, and I've said it before, their customer service is above and beyond the best I've dealt with.

I picked up two Boaphiles slightly used off of Craig's List........so I can't speak towards the customer service.

However, I can say I am not impressed with the quality - the cages are fairly flimsy and the hardware is not holding up. Given the difference in price, I would opt for the AP cages or give Repti-racks or PVC cages a whirl.

I have heard the same thing about Boaphile - long time from ordering to delivery and that he's very hard to get a hold of. The AP people were very helpful when I needed a lock for my cage. I'd check them out, too.

haha well you cant tease me like that...
you know i want to go with AP now if wally likes em!
lol

thanks everyone.
im now leaning toward AP cages.
i really have heard no bad about them.
and i seem to really like knowing, they are thick, and sturdy.
and knowing that "wally" can stay in one is a plus too!

fyi (wally is byfar the coolest and sweetest I.J. ever!)

oh besides ours of coarse lol

While I like the cages/racks themselves, i've mentioned I had to add extra heat to the cages. I was shipped the wrong tubs for my aboreal rack and called several times over different months to see if they'd gotten the large tubs I had, which was the way I had acutually ordered the rack. I gave up after a while. I've had some cracks show up in one of the rack sides (where it meets the rest of the floor panels) but the rack works fine. It took at least 7 weeks for me to get all of my cages/racks from them at different times.

I've also found that urates really really seem to stick to the cage material.

I have an AP cage here, and communication was much better. I haven't had a chance to put it together yet. I won't be doing any business from boaphile again, unless it's like me picking up the cage right away at the show or something.
