I'm trying to decide. Any pros or cons would be helpful, Thanks.

They both have great products. I personally own cages from both of them.

Another company to consider is Jungle Habitats. Check them out at http://www.junglehabitats.com

Jasons Jungle. His racks are awesome. Made of 1/2" material. Welded AND screwed.

I have not seen Boaphiles new racks so I'm skeptical to make a suggestion. I really like AP's racks but I don't think they are ideal for small colubrids or live-bearing species such as Sand or Rosy Boas. They are great for anything else.

My best guess is that Boaphile's racks would be better for these types of snakes but the 1/4" material he uses would make me nervous - it is pretty flexible.

One thing to consider... Boaphile's racks will be less than 1/2 the weight of AP's racks.

I totally agree about Jason's Jungle's racks. They are awesome and would be my first choice of the plastic racks I have seen in person.

Another one to consider would be Doug Barr's. I believe his cage company is found at herpcages.com. I really like Doug and the design he uses for styrene makes a lot of sense and increases security. Again, I have not seen his racks in person.

My Sand boas are doing just fine in them. They also look great!
