Boaphiles positives are they are from a reliable herper built for holding humidity and temps well, a nearly endless available list of options to add to the enclosures. Negatives are slower delivery time (which most manufacturers suffer from a slower then what most people desire turn around) and a little pricey when you add in options.

Vision positives, sliding doors offers half enclosure access (which imo is much nicer then a full opened front especially when dealing with a snake with an attitude) very durable compared to any other enclosure manufacturer. negatives, I have heard they are having a really bad problem filling orders lately and they can be a pain to heat (although I have never had this problem personally.

Other enclosures to consider are Animal Plastics. Positives quite durable enclosure, thicker material is used. Negatives, I do not like the swing to the side design as the door gets in the way, also the doors warp over time. Keeping temps and humidity in the larger models is a pain but rectifiable.

Jungle Habitats Positives, light weight design like Boaphiles, very inexpensive, fairly quick turn around time compared to others. I do not know of any negatives to these really.
