    Anyone use a ball box?

    Has anyone used a ball box from herptastic? I have a homemade rack but thinking about slowly working out of them in putting everything in a reptile room and kind of build a wall out of pvc cages? Any thoughts on this?

    Anyone use a ball box?

    Personally, for the cost of one of those ball boxes I would get an Animal Plastics cage, T8 or T10 and use a divider while the snakes are still small. More than twice the cage space for the same price if you went with the T8 which is 48x24x12 for $150 or the T10 48x24x15 for $195. Two of those ball boxes would be equivalent to 36x24x12 for $300. Just my two cents. Ball boxes don't look bad, just a tad on the small side for a display type cage for an adult BP IMO. With the footprint of those cages you might as well stick with a rack.

    Agree, if you're going to use larger PVC anyway, I'd get an animal plastics cage! I just checked out the ball box, and it just seems a little like a "specially advertised" overpriced enclosure.

    Yeah I just checked them out, I would stick with racks unless you just want to toss out the cash.

    Don't overlook the old but trusty Neodesha cages !!!

    Very reasonably priced and as far as "Display", they are wonderful with the large, slanted front.
