    I haven’t had the bad experience that Calm had. For me there are pros and cons.

    Pro: Nice thick beefy doors with heavy duty latches. There is no way a snake can open those doors.

    Drop down door is great for cleaning and reaching the hard places.

    Lightweight, easy to move by yourself.

    Con: Lightweight and thin material makes it difficult to use screws for customization.

    Must be careful what goes on top of cage, they will sag unless it’s something like another Boaphile the same size.

    If you want an RHP you Must order theirs at time of order so they can add their built in bracket template. If you want to use a different RHP, you must use nuts
    and bolts for mounting due to the thin material. This means you won’t be able to stack due the nuts and protruding bolts on top.

    Drop down doors are considered a negative by some when it comes time to feed, but I have no problem, and Punch is big and an Extremely aggressive eater.


    Bottomline, if you order the Boaphiles set up for how you plan to always use them, they are great, Like what Dakski did. However, if you think custom changes may be needed in the future like adding bars, poles, plastic vegetation screwed in, etc; then you will have challenges that may or may not be over come.

    Hope this helps.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
