    I have some black ones. I also have some other enclosures with light/white interiors. Overall I prefer the ones that are light as it's easier to see messes in the back of them.

    I'm considering a T8 as well. I was wondering if the white ones stained?

    But then what about urates staining the black ones?

    Also are the drop down doors easier to clean the cage over sliding doors?

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    I prefer sliding doors, they can be removed if needed. The drop-downs are kind of a pain, especially if the enclosure is on the bottom of the stack, as the door doesn't fold all the way down flush with the stack, it just hits the floor and sticks out 6-8 inches.

    I've not noticed urates staining my black enclosures. The white ones stain a bit from newsprint, not from anything that comes out of my snakes, but that comes off with mild dish soap.

    The sliding doors on AP cages are easily removed for cleaning. I also prefer sliding doors to swing doors because it makes feeding time easier, I've found there is far less chance of the snake bursting out of it's cage.

    I have several white ones, keeping them clean is not an issue.
