    Boaphile or PVC Cages?

    Looking to get a cage for a GTP at some point....

    Just was curious as to what your thoughts were on between these two sellers.
    Thanks!

    I have 3 boaphiles and I really like them. I know their customer service isn't fantastic through online ordering, but I got mine through trades or at an Expo so I didn't have to deal with buying online.

    The PVC cages look good too, but I don't have any experience with them. I know boaphile has free shipping right now, but you might have to wait a long time for your order to actually ship.

    How about a third option like http://www.cserpents.com/C_Serpents/HOME.html? Chris uses 1/2 inch PVC to build his cages and rack.

    I have one of his cages and will definitely buy the next one from him as well.

    You might also want to consider http://www.apcages.com/ (Also in this case the lead time will be longer), quality products as well.

    And in both cases the best customer service I have seen.

    Here is my experience with Boaphile. http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...phile+feedback

    I have no issues with the quality of his product, only with his customer service. I won't ever order from him again. But I might purchase one from an expo or something like that as Karote mentioned.

    I have a couple www.pvccages.com enclosures and I am VERY happy with the product and the service. Very nice cages indeed.

    I am currently working with Ed at www.ConstrictorsNW.com on a pair of 5-stacks and he is fantastic!! Very helpful, communicative, and his cages rock! I would definitely check him out!
