Thanks & God bless!

Those aren't my cages, but the grey cages are made by Vision Herpetological. The model I believe is a 622. I am unsure of the lower cages.
These cages are really nice because they are stackable, and you can run heat tape under them. The only problem with them is the high cost to purchase. Once you do buy them, they will last forever (given you keep the heat element off the plastic, lol).
Here's some of mine.
Good Luck,

Hi, those cages are my Indigo cages in my office. The top two are Vision cages and are great for Indigos. Like the other guy said the only problem with them is the cost. They are light weight and easy to heat with only a light bulb for Indigos. My biggest Texas pair live in those. The others were made by my friend at Herphomes.com to my specifications with the hide boxes built in. He did a great job on them and they work very well. If I had him build more though, I would make the hide box the same size except I would make it much lower, about 4 inches high with a top so the snakes could have the full six foot length to stretch out on. Also, I would have him make a slide door so I could confine the snakes either in the hide or the large area for periodic cleaning. These are much heavier so the visions are on top. I think Indigos need large cages and they use the wood for basking and excercise. Steve at herphomes.com can make these for you and ship them also. Tell him the guy from Willis Reptiles recommended him. He makes them considerably cheaper than the others. If you are near Chicago he can deliver them to the Lee Watson Reptile Swap in Streamwood Illinois. Hope this helps.
