    Boaphile vs Animal Plastics

    While I have no experience with the plastic BoaMasters, I do with the melamine. In a word, stay away, run away!

    These are EXTREMELY heavy, but if you ever wanted to stack a truck on one you probably could.

    AP copies. Don’t do it unless you really know the builder’s skills well. My guy made shortcuts that had I have had to redo over time. I learned the hard way here. I now have more $ tied up in these 2 than if I bought 3 AP 4x2’s.

    AP is the the clear winner for me. That’s why I keep reordering. Yeah they are slower than a slug, but I KNOW THAT and plan accordingly.

    They are the toughest in the plastic category and have the best options FOR ME.

    Hard to assemble? Heavy? Compared to..... I built a 6 foot T-25 and an A-25 4x4 with one arm a few days after having 4 surgeries on my strong arm and hand. I even stacked that T-25 on top of a stack of 2 T-25s.
    Im not bragging on my strength. On the contrary, I’m an old fat man way beyond his prime.


    Everybody has different needs as well as time constraints. I don’t think that you will be unhappy with any of the PVC cages mentioned in the late few threads posted. For me and my big snakes, I doubt that I will ever order anything but AP.

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