Does anyone have experience with these cages? Looks like they have the hard corners that kitedemon was saying are so difficult to clean, but they look like the best bang for your buck as far as size goes
Mine should be here next week, hear they were pretty good.

Did you have them install any accessories? Would definitely like an update with some pictures when it arrives :)

The slab built ones are all about the same practical consideration wise. The extra effort in cleaning is worth a bit higher price for me as I do not have tons of free time. I just use a tooth brush to clean the corners it works fine just an extra 5 min of cleaning adds up (5 enclosures 25 min per month so an extra 5 hours per year for me.) The added height makes it much easier to reach into.
Remember if you follow correct disinfecting methods (directions of the manufacturer) you will need to remove all debris (I use a shop vac and brush) wash all the surfaces with soap and water (tooth brush the corners). Rinse all traces of soap away (I use lots of rags) dry the enclosure, SATURATE with disinfectant that means re applying it to ceiling for the full contact time 30min for many 10 min for commercial reptile ones usually (f10 & CHG/CHD) All that scrubbing in a 7 inch opening is a right pain in the butt I end up with scuff marks on my arms from the edges of the opening. Taller enclosures have taller doors... my 14 open 9 inches. The 18 inch ones can be hard to heat so i don't usually recommend them unless you have a heated snake room.
