    Re: RBI vs Boaphile

    Thanks everyone!

    I will definitely be looking into everything..


    One thing I was wondering though , I have heard that Boaphiles are pretty thin , is that a bad thing?
    I know theres the option of adding insulation , but a big reason I like Boaphiles is they're sleek looking .
    So has anyone really had a problem with them being so thin?


    Thanks everyone

    On boaphiles that gap is the ventilation, there aren't any vents. I only have a boaphile so can't comment on the other but I'm pretty happy with my cage. Will add more down the line.

    Do you find that it holds steady temps and humidity well?

    It does, unfortunately to keep the heat up in it there's a heat bulb during the winter but without it in the summer it holds steady and I use aspen, not cypress that holds humidity better. Temps stay steady as well. I was using glass tanks before so this is a huge improvement.
