Vision cage's

Who knows which is better for large burms?

or is building your own better?

Building your own is certainly the cheapest option. If you are going to buy a mass-produced enclosure though, I personally think Boaphile can't be beat.

I have vision and AP. There are pros and cons to both. Its just my thoughts. I was actually looking into getting one of those cages from NERD and they are really expensive and the guy who builds them told me that its only really used by professionals and breeder. Well the did not make me happy, I wanted to respond or those who can and want to pay. Anyways, and now AP offers the 8ft cage. Can't beat that. I have heard that boaphile is good. Never had one.

Pros of Vision

Easy to Clean
Deeper

Faults of Vision
Expensive (Unless you have a dealer by you)
When hanging heat panels it does not lay against the top
Seems harder to heat (I keep mine in the basement)

AP

Pros
Customer Service
Shipping is cheaper
I like the quality of the cages
Can have built in heat on the bottom and light
Heat Panel lays against top (Huge when you have your bug burm pulling on it or trying to sqeeze inbetween)
Holds humidity well

Oh I forgot the cons of the AP cage

I have the one with Hinged doors and they are starting to rust.
And I think the belly heat is buring out. Its 2 years old.
