Alot of "ifs" will determine what you need. Both are great cages. You will not go wrong with either.



IF your room is cool much of the year and you are trying to keep large tropical constrictors that require lots of heat, then Boaphiles hold heat in a bit better. Visions lose heat easily due to the material used and the glass doors. If using Visions for the above then make sure your room does not get too cold, or else tape foam insulation sheets to the back and sides of the cage and use plenty of heating.



IF you are not very good with hooking up your own heating, then Boaphile does that for you, and very well.



IF you want a dark-color cage, then Boaphile. (come in gray or white too..).



I think Visions look like warehouse cargo containers, but darn they do make a nice cage that will outlast .. you. As stated by others, the fact that you can't destroy a Vision makes them desireable used. I tend to prefer a swing-down single door, others prefer sliding. I tend to prefer plastic doors, but glass doesn't scratch nearly as easily. I have used both, I like both. They are different in ways but both can do the job.



This is not a decision where one is bad and another is good, it is a decision where both are good. Those are the hardest decisions because you start nit-picking everything.
