Hello

I would like to upgrade and get into "real" enclosures for my snakes. I have 2 RTB's and would like to upgrade and not have them in tanks anymore. Now that I can spare some extra money I would like to get some opinions on which one to purchase.

Things I am looking at
Humidity
Size
Ease of cleaning

My snakes are 6 plus feet and 5 plus feet.

Any help is certainly appreciated
Thank you
Maggie

I firmly believe the "best" cage will be one you build or have built to your own design.

However, that's not always practical or easy.

One cage I like fairly well was the 4' cage by Animal Plastics. It comes unassembled and that saves a lot of $$ on shipping. Assembly is easy from what I've heard.

They may make a larger cage if one of your snakes is a still growing female.

Hey Chris

Where can I find those...Do they have a website?

Thank you for replying

I've heard great things about Boaphile plastic cages.

I would say that boaphile plastics are the best of the group, and the animal plastics and moonstruck are a close second. (I personally have animal plastics and moonstruck and like them both very much) The only issue with the animal plastics is heating. I need to install heat tape or a heat mat but other then that they are great cages.

Oh, ps the ap cage I have is a 6x2x2 and very roomy for larger bci.

You never experience life until you have kids..then you realize what you should have done rather then what you did do

Thank you

For the money, Vision Cages are the best, most durable, easy to clean, (and stackable without a rack) Boa cage on the market.

They significantly outsell all other boa cages. Mine are 7 years old and they look like they are brand new. You can sell a used one for almost the brand new price.

Thank you so much

Hey,

I've owned quite a few vision cages and they are the best. As stated before, they are extremely durable, good lookin', and functional.

I like the 18" height of the 3-4 foot cages. It is easy to reach in and clean. Also, the glass doors are great. Plexiglass doors warp. I've owned many cages with plexiglass and they ALL warp.

I would probably max out at the 4 foot cage. I've heard that the larger 6 foot cages tend to be hard to heat. If you are simply housing RTB's you should be fine with a 3 or 4 foot cage.

Thank you very much!
