Updated my herp room...

KevMadden Aug 28, 2009 08:46 PM

As my little ones get older they need more room. I was very excited when I got the phone call that my two pallets of cages had arrived (8 Vision model 600s and 2 Vision model 400s). I had already put together the pedestals for them to sit on so I just had to sanitize the cages and put the ultratherms on. I moved out my model 432s and 322s to the quarantine room and put the new ones in my main room. I’m in the process right now of moving everyone up to their new cage and I hope the kids like their new arrangements. I’ll either move the stack of three footers back in the room or get another Boa rack once everyone outgrows their two smaller racks. I’ll have room in my main room (my old office - 14’ x 12’) for 26 to 28 adults. I don’t know if the collection will ever get that large, but it is nice to have the room. BTW - Customer service at Vision was incredible!

I hope some of y’all share your set up as well.

When I think about what was around for cages when I first started collecting boas and pythons (late 80s) I can't believe how much better the options are. I love Vision cages and have since they came out, but I know others have different taste and there are pros and cons to every setup.

Take care,

Kevin

Very nice setup. Good going on the pedestal, that is definitely the way to do it.

A great point about Vision cages - you can abuse them, drop them, kick them, throw them outside and roll them down the street.. and they will be just fine.
