PVC Cages

[Neal]

I do have a PVC Cages cage that houses my GTP and I absolutely love it. It is currently my favorite cage. It is a stout little cage. This is because as their website says they use a thicker pvc than most other buidlers. While I like this because it makes for a very strong cage that is better insulated it may not be best if you are needing to use a UTH option for it. Having my GTP in it and having a second cage currently on order for my ETB I opted for the RHPs. With the thickness of the PVC Cages material I would think that most uth options would have a hard time working well and being efficient at creating a good hotspot. This is of course only speculation as I have never tried to use a uth on my GTP cage.


I also currently have another cage from AP on order. It should be here soon and if you have time once I get it I would be able to better tell you any and all differences I find between them.

For any arboreal snake I do not hesitate to recommend PVC Cages as I love mine and it has given me great service. My first was ordered with a light, rhp, perches, and greenery kit. My second was ordered with a led light, rhp, perches, and a few greenery kits to replace some in my other cage and have some extra too.

I have the sliding glass doors on mine and that is what I ordered on my two cages on order. Having both swinging plexi and sliding glass now I find I much prefer the sliding glass. I like that they are easy to remove and clean. I also think they present the cage better. However, I'm really don't know which I'd prefer if I was housing a hot in it.

We have some other members that use PVC Cages for arboreal snakes but they have not been active in a good while. I can say that of all the people I have seen with a PVC Cage they only speak well of them. Im hoping I will love the second just as much as the first and I can't wait to get it.

See my GTP I'm getting is going to be in a shoebox because it's still too small, but as an adult I was thinking of putting it in a 24x24x24. I only wanted the swinging doors for that because I figure it would be easier to access versus sliding glass. What are your dimensions for your PVC Cage though and can you snap some pictures of it for me? Also I want to see what type of LED light they use. Thanks.

EDIT:
AP Cages uses 1/2" PVC which PVC Cages say they use 3/8, so flexwatt would work I'm guessing. When my GTP is able to, I will be putting it in a PVC Cage, but the cage that I'm wanting right now is me future planning for something entirely different.
