One Size Fits All Cage?

Never seen this before. Where would it go?

Its attached to the inside top of PVC enclosures. Generally they are used as a hot side heat source (sometimes as the sole heat source).

No thermostat or probes needed?

No thermostat or probes needed?

Most definitely. In fact its often recommended to use a decent thermostat like a herpstat to control one. I am going to have to play with the probe when I get mine because I want it kept at a low temp so most likely the probe will be just below to RHP

I have my adult male bp in the taller three foot boaphile right now, tbh the height is wasted on him and only makes heating more difficult. I moved him to the shorter four foot cage for a year or so and he got pickier about eating so I moved him back. I have the undercage and rph for heating and herpstats controlling it all.

The taller three foot you have - is that 15" or 18"? I'm thinking 15 might be just right...a little more headroom for exploring and ease of cleaning, but not so much as to be a waste.

Wow, that is an awesome enclosure! I love it, but I am afraid to look at the price tag. I want 4 of them, but I'm broke!

If you do go with AP cages call them up before ordering because they have a very nice LED option that is not on the site yet (it it $40).

Also seconding the LED options they are VERY nice, no hanging wires to worry about or naughty beeps climbing onto light fixtures. Probably one of the better investments I made. Totally worth the extra expense!

Yeah, I hear you. I shied away from 48" just because I thought it would be too cavernous and overwhelming for a young snake, but it sounds like it would be ok if I cozy it up with accessories and hides. I actually think I would have the space to accommodate a longer unit.

Question for AP & Boaphile owners...are the dimensions external or internal dimensions? Just so I measure my space out appropriately.

I can only speak for AP cages but the dimensions listed are exterior. Interior is roughly 2 inches shorter depending on the model. For example my T12 (48x24x24) interior height is 22.5 inches.

If it helps I'm using a divider for my little beep who is 159 grams and he's doing absolutely great! Eats, sheds and poops/pees. Like Tttaylorrr said the key is making sure your bp feels secure by having plenty of cover and minimal open floor space. Just remember the biggest threat to a bp is being attacked from above and being exposed in the open with no shelter. So make their travel path from point A to point B feel like a safe one.

For my cage I sectioned off various areas to appear smaller and more cramped with lots of clutter. He also has 5 hides. It's more work but I have no doubt a 300 gram bp will do well in a divided 48 long cage when set right.
