"well I think they are too expensive $325 for a 4' cage wow. I just dont see why anyone would consider these when you can get say a boaphile or barrs 4' for $199-225 heated shipPED"

comment posted by BigDee ( im not mad about your comment BigDee just pointing out the actual cost of there cage VS mine with equal options )







I did a calculation of the 421D cage after i recieved a comment of how my 4 ft cage was way to expensive when boaphile cages were $199.00 shipped . As you stated the cage is $199 shipped BUT when the options are added up to equal what is included in my 4 ft cage this is what i came up with





Boaphile

421D $199.00 delivered

Incage double heat ( 2 ft ) $50.00

3 Black hinges $12.00

2 Keyed locks vs. Latches*** $10.00

Add Center Latch . ** $10.00

Florescent Light Installed $30.00



Total price with these options $331.00 shipped



JungleHabitats cage

JHC-48 48"x24"x12" 1/2" HDPP cage

1/4" glass doors

2 20w Halogen lights

2 ft 20w 11" flexwatt heat tape

showcase lock.

$325.00 shipped





Now with those posted id like to state that first my cage is 1/2" hdpp and has much better insulating values , Has sliding glass doors , Is a more durable plastic as far as the abuse it can take without comprimising the cage or its construction .It is a heavier cage due to plastic & glass construction but you wont have to worry about the glass hazing . scracthing due to the wrong cleaner being used on the plexi or with a lizard being housed in it .



I am not knocking Boaphiles cages or there pricing but merely felt that since a statement was made as to the expense of my cage compared to his was to expensaive i would show a actual cost comparison ofthe two cages in realtime with as equal options as can be compared being there cage uses plexi doors and not glass
