    Re: Can't decide on which boa to get.

    ceca2015,

    This is my cage. It was $230 SHIPPED. I added a lock and 3 sets of perch holders and the whole thing arrived at my door for $263 after the extras. You won't find a better deal with shipping for that size. 48" x 23" x 14". I use a Pro-Products radiant heat panel. I believe it was about $100 shipped. Bob at Pro-Products is great and will customize the panel for the cage and the room the cage will be in. He can get you into a decent thermostat for about $60.

    I personally can't do without a Herpstat and I got a Herpstat I. Because I'm only using a panel I did not get the Herp II so I still saved close to $100.

    I'm not done with the cage, I'm going to change things a bit as I go, but you can see the "clutter". This is his lifetime cage unless he gets huge. I would doubt a male would get over 7' but if he does, and gets thick It's and easy fix if I need a new cage.

    One very nice feature Boaphile cages have are that you can get the "expandable" option. Basically you can add and end to the cage and make your current cage larger. Brilliant idea if you go the Boaphile route.

    But my Pro-Line is made of the the best plastic in the bizz in my opinion and cleans easy and there are no retained smells and no gases from the plastic.

    Again, I'm not getting down on you for wanting another snake, but do yourself, and your first snake a favor and shoot for caging first.

    I'll bet your current snake will enjoy a new cage.

    Here's what I had all set up before my snake ever got here.
