Any reason why you're not using it? i had a question about how the lights fit into the cage, because i already have plenty of UV and heat lamps. I am waiting until after my birthday to purchase (August) but i am very seriously interested. I have no idea about shipping between us though, because i am almost certain that i would not be able to pick it up. PIctures and shipping quotes appriecated! PM me and get my email.

I currently use Vision Cages on 75% of my adults. If you purchase the 332 with the extra light vent then the lights slide into the holes (one for the basking bulb and a second for the UV strip). In other words no need to drill holes and mount the UV strip inside.

I have never had a problem ordering the Visions from LLLreptile. Shipping generally runs $40 for the 332. If you have any more questions you know where to reach me.

the extra vent is not neccessary. It is much better to mount the UVB light inside the enclosure. Puting it on top of the vent as many people do will put it too far away (more than 10 inches) and the vent filters out some of the UV light as well. I like the visions for indoor use.

I am also thinking about getting a couple of these, but has anyone else heard that they can "sag" after a while? I also checked out Boaphiles but for the same size I was looking for they were more exp. but it included shipping I believe. (Also heard it took a while to get them)

Your cages look great Bennet...You obviously back this product!

Thanks, well there are drawbacks to visions like if you stack them it is a pain to change bulbs. The lip can be a pain to work around too especially when small animals hide under it and if you use sand it always gets in the tracks but they hold heat real good and the 3 footers dont sag. The 4 footers are pretty good too. Anything larger needs to be in a rack system.
