Display Cages

[ryandlf]

Just wanted to pick your brains...i'm currently in the process of starting to set up for the second snake i'm going to add to my collection. Currently I have a teenage BP in a 20g long tank. I want to keep all the animals I get in display type tanks, just because I like the appearance of them as opposed to a rack system etc.

Can anyone suggest a good online store, or give me some helpfull hints as far as purchasing new cages? I will be purchasing a Jungle Carpet Python soon, so I will need a "taller" tank, and I want to upsize my BP's tank a little because he's growing awfully quickly.

Any help will be appreciated...thanks in advance.

i like the look of the animal plastics or boaphile arboreal cages. i like real glass (sliders). with black hinges and handle to match. just my taste though. an arboreal cage with a radiant heat panel and flourescent lighting is a good looking display, imo.

I think my favorite is the boaphile plastics...mainly because you can get them in all sorts of sizes and stack em up. I think that's definately the route I will go.

BTW will anyone be at the reptile convention in Florida on Feb. 24?

[PatrickBateman]

yea i will most likely be there.

[ryandlf]

Daytona if I remember correctly. Change of plans though, I won't be there, i'm going to the Spartanburg, SC one instead in a few months. But ya...its Repti-Con (I don't know if I got that right or not).

My personal favorite is this site... http://www.customwoodreptilecages.com/index.html

I know the owner, who's a doll, and the cages are gorgeous for display and built custom to the size you need! I plan to get all my display cages in the future from them, especially for the beauties, though I hope to have a rack system as well. Good stuff and really decent prices for custom wood cages!

Ya...i'd really like to try building my own. Then again i've always been the type to want everything exactly the way I imagine it. Sometimes I tend to take on more than I can handle. Who knows, maybe i'll come up with a really awesome cage design.
