Share your ideas for Perfect Habitat

I don't know if I would consider getting a AP "jumping on the bandwagon". Keeping the correct temperatures and humidity are very important to a Ball Pythons health and survival. Can it be done with glass, absolutely, is it easier with PVC, I think so. Are there other options besides AP, of course, Cages By Design, Vision, Boaphile, NPI... just to name a few.

I think why Animal Plastics are highly mentioned is on this website is for a couple reasons. One of our members (The Serpent Merchant) has a very detailed write up on one of the model's the AP sells (T8), I think it is always nice to see in detail what your getting before you purchase it, unfortunately AP's website does not do them justice (according to FB they are getting a new website). Another reason I think they are so popular is because of the customer service they provide. I have never dealt with any of the above companies but, AP as always treated me great, and also with my T8's that I have purchased (2), they have shipped out in a very reasonable amount of time. I think when all said and done, their product does the job and works perfect for a display cage.

As far as cleaning and size, I would say cleaning is breeze, nothing stands out in my mind that would prove this cage to be difficult to clean. I have heard from one poster, (don't remember who) that this particular PVC has very small "pores" and over time they tend to smell, I have had my first T8 almost a year, if not a little more, smells the same as they day a I purchased it. For size, I would still say go with a T8 just because you can get a divider that will allow 1 T8 to house two adult Ball Pythons. Ball Pythons are like Lays, can't have just one.

Hope this helps...
