Boaphile
So I am leaning towards getting some Boaphile cages. Not the racks but the actual display type cages. Has anyone used these? What do you think of them? Do they hold heat/humidity well? Any quirks/problems? I've heard about the poop stain thing but I'd be getting the black cages if I go with them so it won't be a problem.

I have no clue about the poop stain thing (don't think I wanna know)
I have two that were donated to our rescue.....one is the 4 foot double door condo....the other is shorter and taller...both came with heat and light....
EXCELLENT humidity and perfect temps....the ONLY two enclosures I don't have to constantly mist and adjust..
AND these are the cages that the ONLY two females to breed for me are kept in......
i personally LOVE these cages....I have heard bad things...but this is my personal experience....

I have two and I love them
they take awhile to arrive though, so be prepared.

Re: Boaphile
Boaphile cages look good hold the heat and humidity well. But then they start to sag in the middle, They build them as one solid unit so the corners start to chip and i don't even want to talk about the scratch marks.
You get poop stains because they are very hard to clean.
They tell you theres a three week wait Its more like two months.
I used to own five of them and traded them off and made the switch to animal plastic T3's.

Re: Boaphile
I have 'coupe' style cages - they have two doors instead of one with a rib in the middle - the rib prevents sagging plus I feel that having two smaller doors means less heat/humidity (or fast animals!) is lost when you open one to access the cage.
I've never had a problem cleaning mine, nor has anything scratched or chipped. The doors, being Lexan, do require special care to prevent scratching. I'm used to that though because I have plastic fish tanks.
