    Cages

    I am going to buy two cages very soon. The question remains is which brand? I am leaning towards Reptile Basics. Which brand would you all suggest? Currently where I live it is in the high 20's to low 30's and that has taken the humidity and ambient temps WAY DOWN! As you can already tell I am keeping my two ball pythons in a glass enclosure.

    For you people that have a vision cage, reptile basic cage, or an animal plastics cage do you have any issues keeping up the ambient temps and humidity during the winter months? If not does the ambient temps and humidity create problems during the summer months?

    I have two Vision cages and will be making the the switch to Animal Plastics soon hopefully. I feel that since the AP cages are made with a thicker material that they will hold heat better than the Vision product.

    I have one of the giant vision cages for one of my red tailed boas. I keep my basement at 80 degrees with a couple oil filled radiant heaters. If i dont use the heaters i cant keep the temps up in the vision cage at all.

    I own both a Reptile Basics 36x24x15, AP 36x24x24, and AP 36x24x15. Animals Plastics is far superior, period.
