Lorex Plastics?

[viper69]

I have cages with drop down doors, swing out, glass sliding, and plastic sliding. For me, feeding is not an issue with either of them.

The only doors I dislike are the plastic sliding doors for large snakes. I’ve had two different snakes bow them out and escape and one totally blew the doors and tracks out.

Cleaning is easier with the swing out and drop down. But overall, I like the nice solid beefy feeling of glass sliding doors which make them my preference.

Yeah the swing out and drop down give you full access, I agree there. Sliding only half at once.

I agree on the weight of glass. Question, my Hog tends to be quite nippy during feeding, she has certainly struck glass at times. No concern on your end with yours striking glass vs plastic?

Welcome to the forum.

I have not used those, but they do look nice. Why even consider them though? You can get an AP T- 8 for $150 , your 20 gal is $165. The T- 8 is more roomy than the 20gal since it is a 4x2.

Maybe he wants a cage before his snake dies of old age?

. However I’m at over 5 months now on my current order and starting to get antsy.

That’s how I got talked into sliding plastic doors on my first PVC cages. Besides, as hard as my Boas hit, I don’t that there is much potential difference in harming the snake.

Absolutely blows my mind that NONE of the current plastic cage manufacturers can get their lead time down to days or maybe a couple weeks instead of literal months. Is the cage biz that booming?

Yep. Booming. Animal plastics is one or two people I believe.

A lot of the cage makers do this as a side biz, not main source of income. Many are tradesman, such as carpenters, shelf builders and some are critter owners too.
