Hmmm...I'm not sure if my opinion will count because I'm using the cages for other things besides boas. I have a 6'X3'X18" vision that houses a tegu and it's great for her. She's in a humid environment on cypress, misted regularly so humidity is not a problem with the numerous air holes. Also, the lighting vents work great for a lizard. I don't like the sliding doors and I don't like the flimsy one piece construction. I don't think I would ever use a cage like this for a heavy bodied snake. It just doesn't seem safe, clean, or practical for reasons everyone else has stated.

I recently ordered Animal Plastics cages for my large snakes. I thought the 3/4" material would be better suited for a Burm over the long haul. Since I was ordering the biggest cage from them, I ordered a boa cage as well. I didn't see a lot of difference in the manufacture of the two except for the thickness of the material. Overall, I think AP and Boaphile both look like well-constructed enclosures that will last a long time. I think that choice comes down to personal preference or pricing. It was a difficult choice for me!

I'm a swinging/hanging door kind of person as opposed to a sliding door. I also like to be able to choose black hinges or a hinge that will match the color of the caging. Little things like that make a difference since I keep the enclosures in my house.
