Neodesha cages

guttersnacks Jul 18, 2009 09:14 AM

I've been buying a few Neodesha cages every chance I get and am converting my whole room over to this caging.

Is anyone else doing this now that they're back in business? If you do or do not like their style compared to what else is on the market I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.

I have always liked the slant front look.

We built a slant front cage from plywood a couple of years ago, I think that is still my favorite of all the cages we have built.

Can you post up some pics of your set up?

BTW, I love your sig line;

I've always liked the simple design of these cages. There is no cage with easier viewing or access. The rounded corners are an asset when cleaning. And the door doesn't get any easier.

I just purchased a small cage from one supplier, and also a similar-sized Neodesha. The Neo is far and away stronger, and it is easier to deploy with heating mods.

I would think venemous snake keepers would choose this cage over anything else because of the ability to see every square inch of the interior before the door is opened.

ABS is a good material for cages. I think Neos use the right thickness to allow for some flex while providing more than enough strength.

Mark -- Pretty sure the new Neodesha's are a polyethylene or polypropylene blend.

Guttersnacks:

I have used the Neodesha slant-fronts as well as two sizes of their old arboreal cages. I have also used the much older fiberglass design that Neodesha plastics originally bought. I am not a huge fan of the slant-front design and in fact really disliked them for venomous. But that's just me.

But good to have the design back and offering another option in the commercical cage market.

One of their larger arboreal sizes, I think it was about 30x30x36, was very good. I was not a huge fan of the appearance of the cage but it was a nice size, easy to clean, light and had the best functioning hinged door I have seen on a commercial product.
