    Where do you guys get your tanks

    Ok I currently have my 2 foot, year old BP in a 20 gallon tank, I am looking for a bigger one 50 gallons maybe. I want one that in short in height but am having troubles finding any in my area which is Abbotsford BC, Canada. Where do you guys get your from, I am prepared to order online.

    Ditch glass tanks and use PVC enclosures if you're interested in a display enclosure. They hold heat and humidity much better than the tanks.

    Try looking at the Animal Plastic's T8 cage.
    I'm not certain how much it would be to ship to Canada. But I'm pretty sure there's a Canadian equivalent out there.

    Ill highly suggest ditching the glass aquarium and going for a xpvc cage.

    Aquariums are hard to heat and usually result in the use of lamps which will kill your humidity.



    This is my cage from Greg West. He's in Calgary, AB.
    http://www.cornelsworld.com

    This cage maintains perfect temperatures. Humidity is at 50% at all times with no misting.

    It's 3' x 2' by 16". I like the extra height. I also got glass doors as they tend to not scratch as easily.

    Greg makes beautiful cages and racks and has excellent customer service. I have 2 of his cages and a custom incubator from him.

    Re: Where do you guys get your tanks

    24"D is a bit to deep for the stand I have which looks to be a standard depth. Thank you for all these suggestions and links. They are great keep them coming. I will defiantly have to look into the PVC enclosures .

    I agree, the border makes it very difficult

    Greg will do custom sizes. Just sent him an email.

    Do it, I have a Boaphile, some Boamasters, and two Monster enclosures. All are better than the tanks and more cost-effective in the long run since they hold heat better and I'm not constantly trying to keep the humidity up. I've been getting rid of the tanks.

    I have 3 boaphiles and I have to say that Greg West's cages are way more nicely built. I like anything xpvc though!

    I emailed Greg ( I think his name is ) about a possible custom size, we will see what he says. I like the fact he is in Canada, will be a bit better for shipping.
