I have had Racks custom made also (not available on their site), which is one of the reason I like buying from them. :gj:

I asked Ali if they could do an economy rack but adjusted to hold vision tubs. I was expecting there to be a massive increase in the price and was shocked at the total. I'll be purchasing all my racks from them going forward.

So my T25 shipped Tuesday, arrived at the destination terminal yesterday, and now I'm just waiting for them to contact me to schedule the actual delivery. The wait is freaking killing me at this point! Nice surprise is that Ali said they shipped it assembled because I've had to wait so long for it. Getting very antsy waiting for a delivery call!
Edit: just called the number... earliest it can be delivered is Monday, but I teach 8am-6pm so I have to wait til Tuesday afternoon... ughhh!!!

Reached out to Ali to see if it would be possible to add another shelf to the rack and they haven't started on mine so they were able to update the work order. I'm happy I was able to add another shelf but sad at the same time because I still have about a month before the rack ships. I'll get most of the hogs settled in their new tubs only to move them back out for brumation. I'm thinking I'll hold off on moving them out of their current tubs since they would be moved shortly after.

Anyone with the AP installed LED's have a picture of the actual remote, control box, or switch? I know Ali is SWAMPED (even that is an understatement) and I don't want to bother her. I'm just curious if it's the same type I purchased on amazon. I bought a set on amazon and my WDTV remote also changes the LED's, not what I was hoping for LOL

Thanks.

Got my T10 and T12 today!!!!

Installed the "sky-hide" in the T12 for my carpet and took a little video for anyone that was wondering how to do it. It's not the best quality, but you hopefully get the idea....

I feel like I am famous for "real hot topic lately" on pro products! :P

That sky hide is ingenious.

I got the idea from Reinz....it really is a great idea. Might do it in all my enclosures eventually.

Ron! I adore you. Thank you for the video.

These beauties arrived on Friday [emoji7]


Edit: Pictures honestly do not do them justice. They are so much bigger in person than what they look in photos.

What model AP cages are those?

I just changes my order from a t10 to a t12. What are you using for heat? And what wattage, if it's an RHP.

Looks good. I had white cages once...once. They look awesome when new but after a few years and countless snake poops and pees and if your snake tries to body paint, they get kind of dingy and stained. And yeah, what model AP are those. I have never seen that tall of a litter dam before on them.

Wow, sorry all! I somehow missed these replies until just now!

They are AP T12s but I requested a 6” tall substrate dam! I plan on doing bioactive setups! I’m about to build a stand to get them tall enough to hide a misting system and all of the wiring.

Andddd I wanted black. I let my wife pick since I was just happy she was allowing me to drop that kind of money on enclosures, haha. My plan is to essentially foam the inside anyway so hopefully the white is just for the exterior appearances.

I’ll have to check the panel for wattage actually. Both have ProProducts RHPs but I basically just called Bob, he said he’d pick the proper panels out and send them to Ali. I never even got an invoice or receipt. He just took my card info over the phone, haha. I know I had $104 in each panel though. I’ll try to look tonight!

Me personally, i use the flexwatt from AP. It's just 2 feet of the 11" stuff which you can get from Bean Farm or Reptile Basics for cheaper and they will crimp the plug wire on if you buy the kit. I just wanted everything to come at once so i ordered it all from AP. Plus Ali is awesome and has taken care of any problems i have had so i dont mind tossing a little extra cash their way as they are a small family run outfit.

If you are going for a RHP, it really depends on the room temp etc but when i used RHPs, i had PH3 65 watt ones from Pro Products. If you are picking up ones from RB, i would probably pick up the 125 watt ones and then mount them width wise so the length of the RHP goes from front to back. That was you have more space between the cool end of the cage and the hot end. And of course, use a t-stat no matter what heating source you use.

And I was going to go with a T10 until I decided to go bioactive. Which really kind of sucks because I could have had 4 enclosures (T10s) for just a little more than I spent on 2 T12s. It’s definitely an expensive venture but I really like my snakes will appreciate it.

Now to order an enclosure to go bioactive for the retic lol. Ali quoted me a price on an enclosure that would be like 8x4x4. I think I’m going to do it. It’s not cheap though, that’s for sure.

Lol nice. Yeah $104 sounds like the PH3 65 watt ones. I believe that is what i paid for them or it was $110, something around there.

And ah ok, yeah never saw litter damn that high so the custom job makes sense now. And if you are foaming the inside and stuff and going bioactive, might be ok. I just had mine set up with aspen so after a few years of piss and poop, they stained some.

And i hear ya, got to get the wife involved as that will lead to more good things like more reptiles and cages lol.

Ali at AP already has my PH3. Just wanted to check.
I ordered with a 4" dam. It a little taller than normal, but I plan on more of a slope front to back.

You mean 'you hope the snake wants a slope from front to back' lol. If your snakes are anything like mine, they will destroy cool stuff you put in the cage and then rearrange stuff to their liking. And honestly, there is nothing more annoying than hearing one or more of your snakes shoving a hide around on the bare floor of an AP cage when the whole house is quiet. It's like someone running their nails down a chalkboard haha.

Lol. There won't be bare floor. It's going to be bioactive. Just dirt and stuff.

Oh ok, so yours might be deep enough. I only use about 1/2" or so of aspen as i use flexwatt for all my snakes so they easily can push stuff around lol. And it usually is Caesar who does the trouble making. Another awesome thing he does in the middle of the night is if he is hungry, he will push at the gap between the 2 panes of glass by the center support in his AP cage which when he pushes and stands his body up to brace, it shakes all the cage doors in the stack haha. He is such a trouble maker.

I've got an RHP waiting for my build at AP already. I'll probably build out the sides and back with a foam and bark background with a few integrated but removable hides. (I still need to figure that one out)

There's a thread here regarding sky hides you might find interesting. Arboreal snakes seems to really enjoy them.

I just installed one in my carpets enclosure and it's pretty easy and he basically lives in it - good luck!
