Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hi, i was wondering if anybody uses animal plastic cages. If so how are they? thanks

Yes, there are post below about this topic. Their customer service is great. In fact the reptile place that I deal with now made them the only cage they carry over vision because of this. They are priced nice and look nice and now that they offer an 8ft cage, its even better. Plus you can get different options on them.

I have 4 of them, one 6', two 7', and one 8'. They are great cages. The lock system is great, as is the routed in heat cord. They hold humidity very well too, which I like for my retics. The only draw back that I have found is that you have to seal them with silicon and scrubbing urates out of the corners means that I take up the silicon, sometimes making it necessary to reseal them. They also leak into the runners for the sliding doors, again making clean up a bit more arduous then say a Vision cage. But they are great cages all the same, especially for the price. As far as sealing them I have found that the vinyl sealant is better then the silicon for long term use (it doesn't peal up as easily and seals better). Hope this helps.

Thanks, i think im going to buy an 8 foot cage for my male retic in the coming months.

But they ARE AP cages! I house all of my blood pythons in the AP 4' cages, and absolutely love these enclosures! They are just top-notch in my book.

I know the silicone sealant was mentioned in another post...I've been using All Glass brand aquarium silicone sealant (comes in black & clear, get it at just about any pet store), and it works VERY, VERY well.

For the price, it's hard to find a better cage than AP!

Thanks
