I have 0 experience in the Boa world and this was a ton of solid information.

    I have a question though for folks if you don't mind reinvigorating the thread.... for the setups that don't come pre-assembled, after you seal it (or maybe you don't) with silicone, how does it hold up as far as ease of cleaning and dealing with the plethora of messes that can occur inside an enclosure - poo, pee, blood, water, etc.? I'm leaning toward a particular supplier but I'd like this answered. I know some come pre-assembled and already sealed, which makes me tempted to go that route. Ease of cleaning is a huge deal in the long-term, but the attractiveness of the enclosure is also something I'd like as well.


    Thanks!
    Pro-Line 48" x 24" x 14".

    I can take the perches, hides, bowls and plants out in under 2 minutes. Take a shop vac and suck out all the substrate, and clean the NON STICK plastic, then spray it down again, reload the supplies and new sub and be done in about 15-20 minutes. That is for a display cage. If you are using an efficiency setup, you'd basically take out your news print, disinfect, wipe and reload.

    The sealing is very easy and holds up. The cage slide together so the fluids would have to go down, under and over the fittings to actually leak if you did not seal it.

    I sealed it anyhow and have had no issues.

    I now have a custom 48" x 30" x 20" on the way.

    AP gets good reviews as well. I just like the plastic Constrictors NW uses.

    Everything has pro's and cons.

    Good luck!
