    Boaphile cages have a few major issues:

    1. they are made from thin plastic. This makes them lighter but it also makes hem prone to cracking during shipping or after a few years of heating (the expanding and contracting caused by heating)

    2. they use chemical welds. this means that the cage can't be taken apart, and is yet another place for them to crack. these chemical welds are also a place where junk can build up and make cleaning the cage harder than it needs to be.

    3. Acrylic doors. AP gives you the option of glass doors or acrylic doors. acrylic doors will get scratched p very easily and will warp over time.

    4. Boaphile cages don't have any of the other nice features that I outlined in the thread I posted a link to in my original post.

    either way you are going to have a better cage than a glass tank.
