Trying to Pick a Plastic Cage

[Egapal]

Thanks for all the advice. I know that this forum is big on RBI and trust me the point is not lost on me.

raphymartinez your setup was one of the ones that caught my eye and got RBI on the top of the list.

Argentra - Definitely not a matter of difficulty but I work 50 hours a week and make decent money. My girlfriend is working 40 hours and taking 12 credits for her masters program. My time is very precious to me. I also just started building a MAME cabinet and I try to put in at least 10 hours a week programming a web project of mine. Add that to new episodes of a few TV shows I watch and there isn't much time for anything else.

Simplechamp - Luck is the operative word. I can spend 20 hours researching the right temps, humidity, smells, lighting, noise levels and a host of other factors that will make a python happy. I can then go out and buy hygrometers, thermometers, timers, and thermostats. Collect the data tweak the environment and all said and done I have a happy healthy snake. Woman on the other hand are a bit more complicated.

Here is a pick of my new ball by the way. I will try and get some better ones soon. Trying not to stress her to much right now.


So back to my issue. Has anyone used both the RBI and the Showcase cages who can compare the two? Even though I think the showcase would fit in better in my office I think I may have to go with the RBI just based on the reviews from this forum. Its almost like people are getting a kick back or something. Makes me want to find out for myself.

I have several Reptile Basic cages and I love them!! Here's the link: http://www.reptilebasics.com/2x3-Cag...h-p-16286.html.

The cages are 3x2x1 and are easy on the eyes. They will house a female ball python for her entire life. They are amazingly easy to keep temps and humidity perfect-- and I live in a place that has about 28-32 humidity year round and is mostly cold!

Aside from holding heat and humidity really well, they are incredibly easy to clean and come fully assembled with the heating option of your choice. The owner, Rich, offers the very best customer service and support of anyone out there, and totally stands behind his products 10000%!!!! Even after the sale!!!! He is truly a great guy!!!

So, I encourage you to check out his products and contact him for further information and to answer any questions you might have.

Take care.

I just got mine in and I love it!!!!! I had a few questions after I got it, Rich was helpful and it was an all around great experience. I got mine with the lighting and Radiant Heat Panel (RHP) installed it looks great and it is working even better than I thought. I was worried about the RHP and my heat gradient but to me it works even better than a UTH. I would recommend Reptile Basics to everyone and slap anyone who argued the fact with me .

Go with rich you cant go wrong.

I am so glad that you love the RHP!!!

I think they are great and I agree about obtaining an awesome heat gradient!!! An excellent product!!

that's a great-looking setup. I would like to get something like that if I could find anything here in vancouver.

is there any particular reason you wanted to go with plastic? my favorite cages are the front-opening Exo Terras. They look FABULOUS and are such a snap for cleaning and maintenence!

JasperStreet, are you in Vancouver, BC?

I have the tools, and skill to build but new projects cause my female human to get stressed and she becomes aggressive.

LOL!

Here's the 2 RBI cages i got for 4 of my snakes. these are 4x2 cages that i divide in the midle to make 4 sections and works really good for me. I was also very concearned with the "looks" side of things because i just bought a new house and want to keep things looking nice



i agree with Rich from RBI being great with his customers i actually just ordered a CB70 rack from him this week for my breeder females.

That's Realy nice! I hope when I buy a house I'll have something nice looking like that!

The sword is nice! but I think I would of hanged a snake/BP poster/frame instead. I would keep the sword closer to the 0.1 Human female
