I have heard jeff ronne talking about how he hasn't had much sucess breeding in white cages compaired to black. Has anybody had any luck breeding in white cages? I am just about to build a bunch of white cages, and wanted to figure out this myth first.

White, black and grey I've got them breeding in all!

Maybe 6 to 8 weeks ago on this forum. Not sure when, maybe it was longer. You could do a search for it.

In almost every pic I've seen showing Jeff's collection his own animals are not in his line of caging. Rather, they are still in his homemade cages. As far as I can tell, they are not black!!! In one of his recent classified ads for a 10,000 dollar animal (or however high it was) the pic showed an animal still in a homemade cage(probably melamine or plywood). But, if I were selling BLACK CAGES, I would probably say things about white ones as well. I wonder how they do in yellow cages...can't you get his cages in yellow????? Take care!

Not to defend Jeff, but if I was making the number of cages he makes, and my collection was already in established, well built enclosures I think I would also take an extremely large amount of time to switch them over to the new ones. (and he is slowly but surely doing this. This past fall he redid an entire wall of melamine enclosures over to his boaphiles) I think he keeps somewhere in excess of 500 boas, and I would imagine atleast 200 of them are in actual enclosures not racks. So that would be 200 cages he could either switch out or sell..hmm....I think I would take the sales and profit instead..

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

Don't go around telling people BLACK cages are best if you've been successful with other cages. It just turns into a sales ploy at that point! Take care
