Wanting to upgrade enclosure for my BCI

[Evenstar]

I went with Proline from Constrictors NW and I am very happy with the cages. I also went with RHP only and it has been working fine for me. The snakes know when to go where for the heat so I don't bother with the flexwatt (I also don't like the heat tape from RB because it is not a UL listed product, major safety concern for me). A lot of people also like Boaphile cages but I didn't go with them because I heard that they tend to absorb bio-fluids over time.

This is one reason I moved to ConstrictorsNW. Any pvc cage can do this. But Ed uses HDPE plastic. The following was taken directly from his website:

"[We use]....marine grade HDPE. It is designed for use in a harsh marine environments on ships. It is UV resistant, it is safe to use for you and your animal. Both USDA and FDA approved, meaning it is safe enough to eat off of. The plastic is 3/8ths inch thick and more rigid than typical HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) because it has 3 layers, a solid layer a slightly expanded layer and another solid layer give it a plywood like effect with an inner grain like wood to resist sagging. To top it off it is made of recycled plastic and is 35% lighter than standard HDPE plastic of the same thickness.

This plastic is ultimately chemical resistant meaning nothing sticks to it.. This makes these cages super easy to clean, the plastic won't stain, and nothing can bond to it."


I am going to be purchasing a few of the PL modular cages. The 48x23x14 is only $230 shipped and I can slap an Ultratherm under it on a Hyrdrofarm t-stat for only a little more.
