You get used to the wait for AP lol. I have 3 T8s, 3 T10s and 3 T25s and got an A10 on order for Pat my GTP. They are well worth the wait. I have had issues with their LED lighting going haywire on me but Ali has always sent me new ones no charge within a day of calling her, even after a year+ with my T10s. We think it is maybe because i run everyone except my dumerils and BP at around 80% humidity. She sent me the new water resistant ones they are trying it and it seems to be working well.

I personally am not a fan of single drop down doors or acrylic doors. They warp with humidity and heat over time and they scratch pretty easy. Plus i have large constrictors so i need to use one side usually as a shield as my big guys really get the gusto going when they smell food. I did go with a single swing open acrylic door for my A10 though.

I personally love AP cages. They are sturdy and well thought out with all rounded edges and corners so snakes wont hurt themselves as well as owners. Also Ali is awesome to deal with, love their customer service.
