    Reputable place to buy habitats?

    I'm looking to switch to a front facing/opening cage and came upon Cage Company that has what looks to be high quality wood habitats. Just wondering if anyone has ordered from them before and if they're legitimate. If no one has, suggestions are welcome.

    I was looking to purchase something like this.

    It looks like it has a screen top, thats going to be a hassle. Why not go with a PVC enclosure?

    Screen tops aren't an issue for me. Not a fan of PVC

    Screen tops are garbage for keeping snakes. Doesn't keep humidity, and your basically just waiting for the day it escapes most likely cutting itself the entire way out. If you want something similar to that pic check out Animal plastics.

    I have no problems with humidity, and he's never escaped from the previous owner while in a screen top.

    Hey now, I kept snakes the better part of 20 years in glass aquariums with screen tops and they did just fine.

    Not saying it cant be pulled off, just not the most efficient way. Pvc enclosures or tubs just keep humidity and heat alot better. Why set your self up for more work when you can just get a efficient enclosure. I'll leave the tanks for the fish.
