well I think they are too expensive $325 for a 4' cage wow. I just dont see why anyone would consider these when you can get say a boaphile or barrs 4' for $199-225 heated shipPED

why is the material so thick? What kind of material is it? I think there isnt enough space to get into the cage. Plus, it seems so dark. Glass sides would be cool, and larger sliding glass doors. That would make it look bigger and lighter.

Not speaking for the manufacturer, but as someone with experience with a variety of plastic materials - Well, it is a different material, and is likely tougher for say lizards with sharp claws. Also, some people may want glass doors as opposed to acrylic. Another thing, HDPP makes for a tougher cage overall. Kick a Boaphile cage with a steel-toe boot, then kick a HDPP cage and compare damage. I think you'll see a hole in the boaphile cage (although it is easily repaired on a boaphile cage - that is a nice thing about PVC).

Thank you mark for your comments on the material itself .

Im not going to argue about the pros/cons on barrs or Boaphile as they both have fine products. I am simply offering a product that has more to offer in many ways and mark touched on a few of them.
Thanks for the comments they are well received by all

or at least not the steel-toed variety

Hi Mark - Speaking of HDPP, didn't you say you got an Animal Plastics rack recently? How is it working out?

Thanks,
Joan

Yeah, I don't even own boots other than hiking boots, but I did have a Boaphile cage with a hole in it when UPS dropped it... and I did patch it darn well.

I didn't order the rack yet - still waiting for the Sterilite versions.. but I did get a baby rack from Nature's Spirit - expanded PVC - and I love it! Totally worth it. In fact, I liked it so much that I got a 3-hole sweater-box rack from them - and it is equally so nice and easy and functional. I may just get another NS rack and stop there.

Why is the 72 inch cages cheaper than your 60 inch cage on your web site. Must be a typo. Awsome cages. Will you have any at the raleigh show in May. Will you offer payment options and discounts on mutiple cages.How do they handle stacking on one another with a heavy burm or retic in them. Again great cages.

Hey Thomas ,

No typo .. the reason the price is different is the 72" does not include shipping and the 60" cage does . Yes we will be having cages at the Raeigh show in May but at this time we have not secured a table due to were not sure how many cages we will be taking to the show yet .Regardless if we have our on booth we will be there , if not under our own booth look for us joined up with CCB Reptiles out of Raleigh NC.Hes a good friend that i have spoke with on splitting the booth with as he will be there promoting reptile persentations etc . Yes we would work out payments for our customers , we realize that invesments in caging can be a big leap for some no matter what the reason ( mainly buying reptiles lol )As far as discounts yes we do offer discounts and there listed on the website & for shows we will be offering printable coupons on the website that can be used at shows. For large animals such as you touched on we have designs that provide a reinforced floor to keep them from sagging or bowing due to weight. and with the litterdams & top rails they act as a firm structural support system ... If you would like you can email me as i know you are in NC
