Cage/Rack Recommendation?

[Sauzo]

I’m looking to order either a PVC cage or Rack system, but wanted to get some opinions first. I’m between the following:

A. Animal Plastics T8 (2x4x12) with divider
B. Reptile Basics 2x3’x12”
D. Reptile Basics VE-2 Rack (23x16.5x11”)

With the PVC enclosures I am planning on using UTHs I already have and buying a Pro Products RHP. The Rack comes with UTH, but I’m not sure if ambient temps would be warm enough. Right now I have my house temp set at 72-75F with a space heater in that room to get ambients high enough. Normally temps in my house are set at 65-68F so I’m thinking the ambient temps in the rack setup would be too low with just the UTH. I’m not sure how much we’ll racks hold heat compared with tubs alone. Anyone have any thoughts/recommendations? I’d love to add some more BPs down the line so the rack is appealing in that aspect, but don’t want to keep running up my gas bill during winter. I’m also leaning toward RBI vs AP due to the ability to receive it sooner, but like the idea of the AP PVC cage divided to hold 2 BPs, plus AP is slightly cheaper. I’m torn!! Please help.

Thanks!

Spend the extra for a T10. I got both T8s and T10s as well as T25s and if i had to do it all over again, i would skip the T8s and T10s altogether and just get T25s for everyone. But then again, i got mostly boas lol. But you will really appreciate the extra 3 inches of height in a T10 when it comes cleaning time.

I use the AP T10 for my BP now and she utilizes the entire enclosure, including the shelf and PVC jungle gym I made for her. As a matter of fact I use T10's for all but my carpet python. That being said, I just bought a used (great deal that's why) T8 for my Brazilian rainbow boa as the breeder said they really don't need the extra height and will burrow more than climb....so I'll find out when he's big enough to move out of his tub that I keep in a partitioned T10 for now..

My enclosures......for now...I have to do some rearranging after I get the T8 and the T25 I'm picking up while in Chicago this month.



The T12 for my carpet python

Hey Ron, what size is that carpet cage? I'm getting ready to get Pat an A20 but of course AP has no pics of it and i cant find any pics of one online. Lol nm, i'm retarded...it said T12 right there.....
