    Question on plastic cages

    Been looking around at some places for custom plastic cages. Does anybody know of some good places or heard of these two places I found?

    http://www.constrictorsnw.com

    http://www.boaphileplastics.com

    Also trying to decide of tank size for two medium size BPs.

    I use plastic cages made my Animal Plastics and really like them.

    http://animalplastics.com

    Their T8 cage (48" x 24" x 12" L x W x H) can be divided to house 2 adult BP's.

    I would recommend against boaphile, their cage design isn't the best and their customer service is terrible to say the least.

    Re: Question on plastic cages

    Plus 1 for Animal Plastics. Boaphile cages aren't all that. Sure they're nice but it takes around 2-3 months to get them and there customer service is pretty crappy. I have a rack and 3 t8's from ap and they are awesome. Just give Ali a call at animal plastics and she'll be happy to answer any of your questions. The t8 cages are a quick ship item right now so you get them pretty fast. I just ordered 3 more of them so all my snakes are either in a rack or ap cage. And if they don't have a cage that fits your need they build whatever you'd like at a still decent price.
    Animal Plastics all the way

    Thank you for showing me that site.. More in likely going to grab a T8 looks perfect. What do y'all recommend for lighting?

    I use 2 of the linear fluorescent fixtures that AP sells as an add on with Zoo-Med NatureSun 2.0 bulbs in for viewing.

    Here is a thread that goes over how I setup my T8's:
