Animal plastics?

I am making a complete new set up for my 2013 1.0 BP - I have an Exo terra glass set up for him. It's hard to keep humidity - and after the incident we had I just want to give him the best. I heard this is the best.

Now I researched animal plastics - there's t10 and t8, what's the difference? And it looks like it's a set up for 2? Is there a set up for just one snake not 2?

Any input would be great. Thanks

The only difference between the T8 and T10 is the height of the cage. The T10 has a few extra inches of height. Both can come setup with dividers in case you want to have it split for two animals instead.

I have a T10 at home (but for a carpet, not a BP) and it's fantastic. I highly recommend Animal Plastics.

As Empyrean already said, the difference between a T8 and T10 is 3 inches. They don't come with a divider.

Here's a photo of mine. T8 is on the top and T10 is on the bottom:http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...a9327a5a81.jpg

Thank you for the replies!

Okay so if they come with a divider I can use one side for hot and one for cool?

And if they don't come with a divider I guess I need another Bp to fill the other side:)

What do these cost ?

Btw beautiful set up! I love the look I would want the t10 If it's a bit higher. My Bp climbs a bit so as much room as possible.

The divider creates two completely separate cages. Are you asking if you can keep one cage one temperature and the other a different temperature? Sure, but why would you want to do this? Each ball python needs to have access to a temperature gradient - both a warm and a cool area - within its own enclosure. It is possible to do this in both a full and a split cage very easily.

They don't come with a divider, but it can be added on at the time of purchase for a minimal cost.

http://www.apcages.com/home/ You'll find the prices on their website. Click the "Terrestrial Cages" link on the top left hand side of the page to find the cage(s) you're looking for.

Yes I know ball pythons need access to warm and cool area within their enclosure- what I was saying IF the animal plastics enclosure shown above doesn't have to be separated into two separate enclosures, I could have lots of space to do what I already do in my enclosure but a lot easier as its longer, that's have a warm and cool side. I do not want to separate I only have one Bp I only need one enclosure. I was under the understanding it came with 2 separate enclosures, in that case I would of got another Bp to fill the other side.

Thank you for your Information I'll check it out.

My original that you quoted I meant to write "don't" -

I meant to ask with this enclosure making one warm and one cool side would be much easier as its a lot longer then my exo glass tank . I didn't word it properly my mistake I was in a rush at the time. Once again thanks for the input and link

For the exo terra you should seriously consider using a bioactive substrate. With a heat lamp my humidity stays at 50-60% and there is minimal maintenence.

I'll look into that when he's done healing and back using substrate- thanks!

This is a nice looking setup.

I always like it when people post a clean, well thought out batch of cage pictures.

Is the stand you have this set up on from IKEA?

Haha! Yea, they are.

I wish I would have seen these cages before I got my Exo Terra honestly but you can buy glass pieces from http://www.neherpetoculture.com/enclosures that should help keep the humidity in better.

Animal Plastics worth every penny and minute you have to wait for them to ship! I have 7 of them and an 8th to pick up at Tinley in October.

to the OP, what happened to your snake that he needs healing?

Im late to the Party but I cant help join in for such a important discussion hahaha. To keep it simple, the door size is what affects me the most. A lower hight enclosure makes for smaller sliding doors. The inside height for a T8 is around 11 inches while the T10 is closer to 14” and with the Lip around the doors it makes the usable door around 7.5” on a T8 and the T10 11.5”, try reaching almost 2 feet into a 8” inch door with your arm and shoulder to clean. Also taking out a adult snake can get tricky with a smaller door. Ive bumped them trying to get them out as mine dont “Ball up” much. After years of my Ball Pythons living it up in these enclosures they are often stretched out basking and at night very active so taking them out in full length (4 feet plus) gets tricky with such a small doorway. Id never get a T8 as for a few Bucks the T10 is so much easier. Also take heating into account. I use RHP’s so that will limit your height even more. All the way around i cant say enough about AP enclosures, I love them and im happy I got the largest 4’ enclosures they make. I actually got the T-12’s and use PVC pipes for Climbing. Mine spend hours a night sleeping on their branches. The T12’s cost a lot more so Im not suggesting you consider them im just saying the height comes in handy in all kinds of ways. Have fun and welcome to the AP CLUB :)

I like those T12s a lot, do you have any trouble heating them? Looks like you have a rhp in the top right of the picture. Do you use UTHs also? I might have to invest in two of those when my new snake gets a little bigger... :D

Yup I use RHP’s and you do need the larger ones because of the Hight if thats all your using like me. Mine are 150 watt running on 80%. If you ran Heat Tape you could get away with the 80 watt for just ambient temps.

I like having an uth so the rhp is easier to control ambient with my current cages. I have two 65 watt rhps, wonder if they would heat those big cages... hmm..

Yes they would heat it for ambient.. just not a Hot spot & ambient unless you used both and placed one on each end.. my 8’ used 2 RHP’s. One 150 watt on Basking side and one 120 watt on cool/ambient side.
