    Re: PVC Cages

    I can 2nd most everything which has been said about AP Cages. Just ordered a T-10 last week and the production time is 10-12 weeks which is fine for me because I'm not in a hurry. I think my BP needs some time to 'grow' into this size enclosure. He's currently in the mid 300s which might be a little on the small size for this space.

    Ali was a pleasure to deal with. She was very patient and thorough on the options available (opted for the LED light upgrade and lock/key sliding glass doors). I'm also having ProProducts ship an RHP to Animal Plastics for installation. A+++ so far!!!

    I LOVE the doors on the PVC.com cages !!!

    I don't like when there is that black bar doing down the middle..

    Wondering, though, are the doors removable for cleaning? Do they pop in and out?

    I really like the 4 feet by 18 inch high WITH heat and LED installed. What I like better about Boaphile is that they are 100% constructed and no need for sealing, etc.

    Due to the doors and heat/light installed, the PVC.com is actually quite a contender for me. AP's lead time is a huge turn off for me, and I don't like Boaphiles doors. I prefer 2 sliding doors over one large fold down door.

    AP has the same style doors. Upgrade to the thicker glass.

    Both companies are removable in the same manner. Simply lift it up and tilt it to take it out. Super simple.

    Re: PVC Cages

    I just ordered a T8 for Ali at Animal Plastics after reading the entire monster sticky thread about them. Ali was a pleasure to deal with. The T8 is quick ship, but I added an extra string of LED lights so it’ll add a little time. (There’ll be one red string and one white string). I did it all via email (because the LED light strings aren’t on the website) and it was quick and easy. Ali sent me an invoice via email to check over, and once I was happy with it (which I was right away) I replied and she initiated a PayPal request the next day! Easy peasy!

    Wait..... You're telling me AP has a door style without the center bar???? If only I had known this when ordering my cages. :/ I am now wondering how much this upgrade would be for my next orders lol. I, too, hate the center bar lol.

    I was only talking about the glass doors when I said upgrade. The thicker glass is much better, IMHO.

    My AP has a bar in the middle.

    Neither of my PVC Cages do.

    I can't speak for the other companies (but I always hear good things about them!) but I'll echo that Animal Plastics is fantastic! I'm 110% super happy with my T12. Ali is a lot of fun to talk to and bounce ideas off of if you want to go over customization options. I'm totally hyped to order another cage from them for my russian ratsnake in the future!!

    I second glass sliding doors.
    I decided to go with a PVC enclosure. I liked the 18” height. I upgraded to glass doors I also got it with the radiant heat, LED lights and Ultratherm under tank heater.
