Best BRB Cage

Of the cages on Herpcages.com would any of them be suitable for a Brazilian rainbow boa or Emeral Tree boa lifetime. I like those cages because they are plastic and rather inexpensive. All input appreciated thanks

I know someone who uses them for carpets and LOVES them. She's only ever had good things to say. These types of cages have lasted her I think six or seven years and she has had no problems with them.

Though, on second though, I might be a little concerned about the plastic hinges... Are they plastic? They sort of look like it...

Have you looked at Animal Plastics cages? They are very high quality and reasonably priced.

Here is their website: http://www.animalplastics.com/

I can answer any questions you have on AP cages

I'm not knowledgable with BRB's but I do know that Emerald Tree Boas should have a 3 x 2 x 2 foot cage or a 4 x 2 x 2 foot cage.

This picture showes 2 AP cages stacked (a 4 x 2 x 1 foot on top and a 4 x 2 x 2 foot on the bottom)

Those are the preferred cages for many ATB keepers. I can't answer any questions about BRBs though. Many use the 20" cubes for adult ATBs.

I just looked up the BRB care sheet and it said that they need a 48" x 18" x 16" cage

I don't have any first hand experience but don't Emerald Tree Boas get much bigger than ATB?

Pro-Line hands down. Price includes shipping.....

Yep and grey but yes black too.... Shipping is included in price posted!
This is a horrible picture of one of the ones I got him to make for me, Its the 48X24X14 with a built in 20" pedestal. Bad pic but you get the general idea. One of the best selling points was the material HDPE, NOTHING sticks to it!!!! So five years down the road you dont have poop and urine stains smelling the thing up from soaking into the PVC. And really it's the best value for the $$. You have a RTB so you need at least a 4ft cage, these come 14" or taller (compared to 12" with most all others) At your door for $220. Boom.

Here's a better pic, still kinda hard to tell just how much room is inside though.

It looks like is all 1 piece. That is a really nice feature if you only have 1 (I like to be able to stack mine from floor to ceiling but before I had that many snakes I would have been all over this)

Yes, MUCH bigger. That should have read: they are suitable for slender arboreals. The 20" cubes are the largest size offered on herpcages, so based on care sheets, no cages from herpcages would be suitable for the life of either of the 2 species mentioned.

EDIT- I guess they do have larger cages but not pictured. Many who use the cages seem to be pleased with the quality.

I second that - proLine are great for BRB's. You need a good quality cage that will hold humidity well without molding and losing it's shape. I've heard great things about animal plastics but have never used them myself but I do use proLine with my BRB's and they're awesome!

Pedestal = Stand (Please reference original post mentioning custom order)
It is one piece. This is a 48X24X14 cage with a 20" pedestal (stand). I have ANOTHER 48X24X14 cage that stacks on top of this one (have not assembled yet) for a total height of 4 feet tall.
