how much work is it to set up PVC cages?

I admit, I was a bit intimidated away from tubs, again because of the modifications necessary for those, but it's increasingly sounding like a decent option if the PVC stuff takes me a while to figure out.

Thanks to everyone for your detailed replies. Animal Plastics really does sound ideal for someone like me, but as I said I doubt it'll be an option since I'm in Canada. I think I'll contact some of the local PVC enclosure companies to see if any of them do something similar to AP; I'm also planning to go to a reptile expo this weekend so maybe I'll find out something useful there. I'll also check out the caging section here, which I somehow totally missed!

I have pretty much zero handy experience, but I was able to easily set up a tub. Basically just used a soldering iron to make air holes and screwed an LED puck light to the inside top. With that being said, I completely understand why you would want to go for PVC. There's really no comparison between tubs and PVC when it comes to visual appeal.

Have you checked out Herp Houses? They are based in CA and offer some nice looking PVC enclosures that are similar to AP. http://www.herphouses.com/terrestria...tile-cages.php Edited for auto-correct.
