The material in Visions is HDPE. It does not hold heat very well if the room is much cooler than the cage. Durability is great: It is extremely tough and cleans easily and will outlast your hobby. I am not a fan of slide doors in most cases. I'm always taking the doors out, leaning them up against something, invariable knocking them down accidently, etc.

The material in Boaphiles is expanded PVC. Not the strongest material but very easy to repair, machine, saw, glue, etc and is very light-weight. For boas, this form of PVC is strong enough for a cage. Some mfgrs are using 3/8" thick or even 1/2" thick material, where Boaphile uses 1/4" thick to save on weight, and it works. I like the doors alot. Simple and effective. The cage insulates quite well for plastic perhaps because of the foam core of the PVC material.
