One other note to keep in mind on doors we have incorperated slding glass doors on our cages BUt we also can do fold down doors , and do sliding plexi doors if thats your choice of doors nothing is limited . As far as the question "what would casue a hole or danage to a 1/4" plastic cage ?



My friend was moving some of his boaphile cages in his garage at home as he doesnt keep them in his shop. With a concrete floor while moving a cage it dropped and inturn it busted the seam along the bottom of the side panled in the cage like a fracture crack and also busted the bottom of the cage in the same fashion. He was able to patch the cage to a pretty good degree but with his cages he has them stacked about 7 high , the lower cages have started showing the result of this as the doors have bowed out on the corners and there is a noticeable "sag" in the center causing the doors on the bottom three cages to somtimes stick when opened.All cages have there good perks and bad all depends on the users needs so i would say think of the use of any cage before you leap and think of the longterm use of the cage , and if the cage will be a "snake" only cage keep in mind that if you have substrate in the cage that a snake that is a pusher in time will marr the plexi doors and if the proper cleaning isnt done the doors will "haze over" if a lizard/ monitor is kept in the cage if so plexi & lexan acrylic will be toast in a matter of months depending on the species of lizard/ monitor kept in them . I built a huge argus cage from my friends shop w/ glass all around as the old cage he had was plexit and looked frosted on the bottom 1/3 of the cage from the continuois dif=gging / [awing the argus does . theres ALOT to look at when buying a cage that will be a longterm investment while plexi doors etc can be replace doy you really wantto have to possibly replace them annually depending on the animals kept in them?



I look at cages like buying a car , i wouldnt buy a car cause it " looked cool" so why buy a cages because it looks cool" its the long term useablilty of that cage in one yr -3 yrs -5 yrs and longer that should also influence the cage you purcahse
