One More Boaphile Question?

inletexotics Feb 09, 2006 10:20 PM

I am going to order some boaphile cages next week. After all the great things everyone said I feel I have to try them anyway.

I live in the hurricane ravaged south Florida, where I have had to move 4 times in the last two years. That said I am hoping to not have to move again. But, if I do I was wondering if the boaphile cages chip or scratch very easily. I want to get the black cages, whick look great, but I am affraid that moving them will beat them up. So I was wondering what people think. Thanks

JP

Boaphile cages are easy to move. Simply cover the acrylic front to prevent scratches and do not stack anything heavy on them when moving so they won't sag in the middle. Because Boaphiles are so lightweight, their strength comes from properly stacking them.

You will love your new cages, Boaphiles are the best.

that I have more than 40 individual Boaphile cages and racks, I have moved 6 times over the past 7 years, and I have moved the cages around different rooms in the house, and simply arranged them differently many times.

With all that said, they've been moved more than 20 times, complete setup changes, and I only have ONE CHIP on ONE CAGE and that happened from shipping!!!

Hopefully, enough said....

PS - Cheap plastic cages and those using glass can and will shatter!

Gosh, Joe ... you sound like The Fugitive? Either that or your mother doesn't love you anymore? I know ... it must be the neighbors' fear of boas?

Whatever ... Bill

Lol....
I've been on my own for more than 12 years now Bill.

First I lived with a friend, then I moved into my own place, and moved into a larger place just about every year since.

So, partly to expand my home, which also means to have more room for snakes! lol

However, there have been a few landlords that weren't too enthused about them... It started with, "No problem!" and then spiraled downward from there... lol

I don't like to 'invite' trouble or stick around waiting for it, so I moved on.

This is one reason you haven't seen me producing 10, 20, 30 litters a year, or maybe more! lol... because, boy oh boy, I sure should be!

Best wishes to you this season! See you again in Daytona!

Bci Joe
