    Re: Reptile Basics V.S. Animal Plastics

    http://www.animalplastics.com/
    (For the Animal Plastics, I've been interested in the T8)
    Okay, so I was wondering about how much shipping is in general for Reptile Basics, I did the calculation for my zipcode and it didn't work. Then for Animal Plastics I was wondering how easy to put together they are, if the sealant is good, (I heard something about it being bad), and if both cages are sturdy.
    Overall, I've calculated that the Animal Plastics T8 with pop in/pop out divider would come to 250 and the Reptile Basics 2x4 with permanent divider would come to 269 + Shipping.
    I was wondering how the pop in/pop out dividers work. Also, this is for two ball pythons, one of which is very active so I hope this cage will support him until he mellows out a bit. Also, should I go with buying the heat for each one? I already have a zoomed heating pad but I forget if those are just for glass terrariums, also I have heat control so my snakes don't get burnt if that makes a difference.

    I will most likely call both companies depending on how this goes. It's just nice to ask and get different questions I wasn't thinking about at the time or some questions I have answered.

    Thanks.
    Reptile Basics is free shipping on their cages. Although I do not use AP cages, I do have some Reptile Basics cages. They are great! However, they are pretty expensive. I now use Repti-Racks cages. The quality is not as good, but works for what I need. They are quite a bit cheaper too. They hold adult boas, no problem.

    BTW, I do not suggest housing ball pythons in these types of cages. IMO, they do better in rack systems.
