    Big girls....caging options?

    Hey just looking for some info and opinions...

    I have my two big girls (dinkers) in a split T8 from Animal Plastics.....both are starting to just be really cramped looking when they are out and about...

    Looking for new caging options....I dont think each one needs its own T8 (2x4x1)....but wondering if anyone has any info on good quality that are maybe like 2x3x1? or something slightly smaller then a full T8?....

    kind of wanting to give something other than AP a try and seeing as how I know nothing about any of the other reptile tank companies out there...hoping ya'll could help? Thanks

    You could build your own enclosure to what ever specifications that you would like and you could customize it in any way

    Honestly, I'd say go for another T8, if not that then maybe convert to racks? They pay off in the long run.

    Big girls....caging options?

    I have a male in a 3x2x18" and I honesty feel it would be too cramped if I was to put my 2300g girl in there. Once I fix up the boaphiles, she's going in there.

    Any chance you wouldnt mind providing me with model type and info on your boaphiles? and your experiences with the boaphiles in general? Thanks!

    If you need help building a 41-qt melamine rack let me know, the hubby has made several and can knock one out in about half a day by himself, less if he has a helper.
