OK, if its opinions you want, I've got 'em. I have the following herpcages.com cages (aka Barrs cages):
LxWxH
20x20x20 (1)
36x12x12 (2)
8x10x8 (6)
The cages are ultra light-weight and an attractive stark white color with an acrylic door which closes flush with the cage front. The cage material is high density polystyrene, about 1/8" thick or more depending on the cage.
These cages are nice for humid-loving herps because they are impervious to moisture. They are real easy to heat and insulate well for exotic animals. They have about a 5/16" or more recess under the bottom for easy attachment of Flexwatt or heat pads. They stack with that recess so heating stacked cages is easy.
The material is darn tough. It is different from the material used in Vision cages (HDPE in Vision, HDPS in Barrs) or Boaphile cages (expanded PVC).
The only possible drawback is that the cages are so light in weight, you can nudge a stack and it may move. Great for shipping costs though. Their racks are really nice.
All plastics have differences. Barr cages are nice and the price is right. I think they are great for arboreal exotics and young boas and pythons. ----- Mark
