Dragons For You - Cages

Anyone use these cages?
If so, do you have photos of them in use?
How well built are they?
Any issues with the company or cages?
I'm thinking about ordering some but have never had good luck with cage manufacturers and before I spend any money, I want to get as much info on this business and their cages as possible.
Thanks.

Well, I've been told of an experience with this company by a trusted source so it looks like I will be going elsewhere for cages.

I bought two of them.

I no longer have them - I threw them away.

They are flimsy. They sagged under the weight of a radiant heat panel. Any thinner and they would be made of construction paper.

They sent me the wrong size (luckily it was bigger than I ordered).

I would not recommend doing business with them. While they are not crooks, their product is pretty crappy.

Sorry but I have to biased, Rich is the man, I wouldnt buy my stuff from anywhere else even if they were half what Rich's prices are.

wow im glad I saw this thread- i was just about to order a cage for my beardie from them- guess im gonna hafta look elsewhere..

I do not believe that we have ever sold Skiploder any cages. I ask for his name and when he ordered and have not received it. Our cages are all built out of abs which is stronger and more durable than pvc. It also cost much more than pvc but we use it because we want to build a better product. I think he may be working to push someone elses cages. We have never had any complant on the quality of our cages. Not even from Skiploder.

You sent me a PM at 6:57 PM and then posted here at 7:19 PM, patience my flimsy cage-making friend.

I bought two snake lock boxes from you. I bought the smaller size and you sent the larger size. That would have normally not been a problem except that they needed to fit into a limited space. You never returned my e-mail to you notifying you of this slip up. In the end I figured I was lucky to get the bigger size - at least I felt less cheated.

They came with glued on lights that were impossible to move.

Whose cage am I pushing? Why don't you lay your cards on the table and quit with the cute insinuations..........

BTW - ever check the BOI?

Here I'll help you out:

Looks like Harald Moore also was less than satisfied. You'll notice my account posted today is the same as I posted in May of 2008.

He PM'd me at 6:57 and posted on this thread less than 30 minutes later. Check out the link to the BOI thread about his cages. He can get all the pertinent info he needs on that link.

I own cages from several manufacturers - some good, some bad. You asked for my experience with Dragons4You and I gave it.

If he wants to accuse me of shilling for someone else - he better come up with something more solid than giving you requested feedback on his product.

Again - check out my BOI posting from 18 months ago - he never bothered to respond to my last e-mail. At the time he was completely disinterested in the fact that he shipped me the wrong size - now he's all of a sudden interested in my opinion.........classic.

Too bad Rich doesn't make products in a wider variety of sizes, he does make a top notch product.

I would have gone with an RBI cage if they offered a 4x2x2. I'm ecstatic with my AP cage mind you, so no complaints really :D

Note to sound like I'm shilling for Goldzung but will he make a custom size?

You know I didn't ever contact him if he would make a custom size! I never thought about it. Next time I need a cage for a growing carpet python, I'll probably give it a shot.

I had assumed he didn't and then I heard about some one who got an arboreal cage from him.........made me wonder if he does do custom orders.

I have them and love them. Great for dragons, easy to clean!!

i have one for my carpet python and i love it

I have three 2x1x1 cages from dragons4you, and like them. They are for small boas. I do agree they are flimsy, but they are for small snakes, so it's not a problem. They were very cheap too, which is why I bought them. I would definately not use them for larger snakes unless the larger cages are made out of a thicker material.

I just received mine not an hour ago, and I'm impressed with the prompt service and the fact that I got it exactly when I was told it would arrive.

However, I'm a bit upset about the fact that upon opening it, I found that two of the three hinges for the door had come unglued and that the middle hinge was broken. I'm also not entirely sure how I'm supposed to be able to get my thermostat probe inside there without having to modify it. Thankfully my father is pretty handy and will be helping me with fixing it, because the shipping (I live in Canada) is a total female dog and I don't think it's worth sending it back if it's easily fixable.

i have 2 cages and a rack from dragons4you. couldn't be happier. he was prompt with his responses to me on my orders.

I apologize for ressurecting an old post but I like Rich's cages. I currently own 4 and plan on buying racks from him next.

Thanks Rich for the Cages which I purchased over 6 years ago. They are stil holding up great and I look forward to future business when I return to the states in October.
