Redtail ID?? craigslist find: enclosure & boa

[Sauzo]

Lol April beat me to it. Yup, those are Prolines. I personally am not a fan of them. Wish i was as Ed lives a couple hours drive from me. The one i had had all sorts of warped, sagging and leaking issues but that is another story lol.

As for the boa, looks like a common BCI like others have said. Nice looking snake though. I like the contrast of color difference from the top and sides.

I've tried a couple Prolines in the past too, also not a fan, sorry. (FYI, I greatly prefer glass tanks, I have mostly colubrids anyway.)
But at least the snake is cool!

Thanks for all the info, everybody.

They're asking $500 OBO. I'm probably going to let this one pass unless they're willing to drop the price considerably.
Never heard back with more pics last night. And it's way out in Western MA, so a good drive from here.

Are those tanks all stacked? Individual pieces.

I agree with the other ID of the boa

It's in pieces now, but is a one piece stack when built.

Nice common boa, no morph.
The cages are a proline rack (made by Ed at NorthWest Constrictors), I have two myself. Looks like maybe the 3x2 size?

Yes, they are the 3x2s.
Are you happy with yours? The general consensus so far isn't too good.

Did you have any warping, sagging or leaking issues with yours??

I thought they looked familiar. I have 2 lol. No wonder why.

I have 4x2 one is 2 feet high the other is like 15-16”

the guy I got them from
barely used them and added extra seal to them and the bigger one he added bigger vents too

they both came with RHP and at the price he offered tnem to me it was too cheap to pass up.

Ive only been using them 3 months or so but I’ve seen no issues w them.

I’ve heard that they are made to stack only on each other. And compared to me AP it’s def cheaper material

i think if you try stacking other stuff you may get a sag. Who knows I may eventually get it as well but like I said to me I weighed the price. W the extras and I had snakes coming in and could not wait for a months

Thanks man. I'm still on the fence. We'll see what the seller says when I hear back.

I have a 4x2 stack and a 3x2 stack and 4 of his older style single 4x2 cages stacked.
Of the old style, I got some sagging/warping but that was because I placed a very heavy piece of wood on top the stack for years (oops).
Of the new style, which are these cage stacks, overall I like them. I have not had any sagging, warping, leaking or any kind of issue like that. Been using them 8-10 years now?
He did change the type of plastic used and this new one is kind of porous. I prefer the old plastic. I used a bad choice of caulking so with that and this type of plastic, I do have some staining issues. That is my main complaint.
I may also drill some extra holes for added airflow. Otherwise, I think they are fine.

Loving this thread!
