Animal Plastics T8

Nice! I’m thinking of getting one for my Ball Python! I have some questions though

1. How long was it to ship? I know it’s a quick ship item but generally how long would it take?

2. Would you think a Ball Python would need enclosure locks to prevent escape?

3. Is the sealant you mentioned necessary? What’s it for?

I ordered it on 2/9 and received it on 3/30, but I added a few things to it which made it not so quick ship. They quoted a three week turnaround for quick ship (without any “can you do this too??” Stuff lol)

I got the locks. Both to prevent them from sliding the door with their boop snoot (he likes to rub the glass) but also to prevent anyone from just opening it.

The sealant comes with the cage. It’s like caulking, but clear. You just do the around the bottoms and like an inch or two up the sides. It’s to keep the water in if your little buddy knocks over the water dish.

Great write-up OP! It's looking really nice. Mine should be arriving soon and I had a couple questions for someone who just received one like yourself.

I ordered a T10 w/ an RHP and white LEDs so same length and depth as yours just a little bit higher.

I don't think I need to request any additional 'cuts' from AP but wanted to double check before it's too late. The 3 temp probes you had them do seems like a great idea but I'm not going to have flexwatt.

Seems like all the cuts I'll need are just a simple hole (i.e. Tsat probe hole for RHP and any temp/hygrometer probe holes).

Congrats!

Also, any reason for the divider? (i.e. planning to put another animal on the other side?)

That way we can peek in on them with the red lights and not bother them too much!

It’s a lot easier to view nocturnal animals with a blue light, like the moon light bulbs in terms of intensity, then using red.

Humans can’t see into red all that well, and a good moon glow blue is like nature so it won’t disturb your nocturnal pet.

Yep, I just drilled a small hole (just big enough for the probe tip) in the back panel of each side to run the temp probe for the thermostat through. If you aren’t using belly heat, then you don’t need the grooves cut in the bottom

Yeah, I got the divider in this one because it is my first one. That way when they’re small I can have two in that one until they grow out of it into their full size T8 (to be ordered soon). That way each “grown” BP will have its own full T8. The one divided will be for up to 2 babies while they grow. When I’m done, I’ll just take the divider out when the last one is ready for it’s own full size T8

Wow your cage is amazing! May I know how much does the RHP cost? So we can just ask Pro to send them to AP and AP will install them? Do you request them to install them to the corner or middle of each unit of the cage? Oh may I know how do they install? Is it paste to the cage or some holes are drilled? Oh and may I know that is the light safe for the snakes? I worry my snakes will climb on the light and break it or something...I remember they have both LED lights and fluorescent light options, but what's the difference? And did you choose pop in/out divider or screwed in divider? They also have some add screen options... does that mean they replace some part of the cage from PVC to glass screen? Thank you so much!

You can call Pro Product and talk to the guy (Bob, I think) because he’ll tell you what you need based on a bunch of variables, so the cost might be different.

Yes, Pro Products will ship them to AP, and AP will install them. They came screwed to the top section with all the holes drilled, etc. it’s the way to go.

I got the led lights, which are embedded. So safe.

The rest of the questions are best answered by Ali at AP. Just email her, and she’ll walk you through the whole process. Easy peasy!

Good news! After a week of letting him settle in, he’s right back on his F/T eating schedule!!!! After the first few days of constant hiding, over the last couple days I’ve seen him in different spots just chillaxin. I’m so happy he likes his new home!
