caging question

wicked Apr 05, 2004 08:05 PM

Hi I am in the process of looking for a new cage for my 9ft male burm. I would build one myself but I don't have the time, so that is out of consideration. I would get a vision but shipping is too much and they have sliding glass doors. Animal plastics are nice but the doors hing outward. Jungle habitas are nice but the also are sliding glass. I am strongly considering a boapile. Does anyone have any expeirence with these cages? Should they be sturdy enoght for my snake? The thing that I like the most about the cage that I am looking at imparticular is the fact that the cage has two hinged doors in stead of sliding glass. Also the one of the doors is about four feet and the other is about two feet. I think that the smalleer door would be perfect for feeding. the fact that the doors aren't equal in size and they hinge downward is what draws my attention moresow then the other brands out there. They only thing that I am concerned about is the fact that it is constructed out of 1/4" pvc rather than 1/2". If anyone has any suggestions or information please let me know. Thanks in advance.

My biggest complaint about boaphiles is the fact that they are only 2' deep. I think that all burmese cages should be atleast 3' deep. This is just my opinion. Hope it helps a little. Todd
