on the best choice for boa cages? I need to purchase some 4ft and some 6ft stackable cages. I want them long lasting, and i have heard that some sag after awhile.

what brand would you recommend?

Thanks

I like the using the Boaphiles. I have tried alot of caging and racks. Boaphiles have worked the best for me.

I have a couple of full stacks of boaphiles and they work great. I do not have cages form the other plastic cages dealers so cannot really comment on them.

I have some 4X2 cages from Rich at Reptile Basics. They are very solid cages and make thicker than some other 4X2 cages. They also heat up more evenly than some other 4X2 cages. Best of luck. Check him out. Mike Panichi

I like the Boaphile cages. I have had various sizes of Vision cage and they all sagged quite a bit. I haven't had any problem with the 4' Boaphiles sagging.

I have both boaphiles and proline 4x2s. I like both for different reasons. I have my boaphiles in a stack of 5 and the bottom one sags a bit from the weight of the heavy water bowls and boas above (mine are over 6 years old). I like the fact the proline cages give a little more overall space on the inside dimensions. Haven't used others but I have heard good things about AP cages (animal plastics).
Good luck!
