I would not hesitate at all when buying from Boaphile... I was planning on ordering a whole new set-up, but money is tight right now. His new Rhino Raxxs look insane, and I have had some of his racks for about 4 years now and they are still kickin...

I've purchased cages from him and they are top notch. I would not hesitate to order racks from him.

Many a false step is made from standing still.

I have ordered the 5 stack RhinoRax a few weeks ago because of Boaphile's reputation and posts here. Just be aware that it does take a few weeks, but everyone says well worth the wait. BTW, I just got in my rack fro Jason's Jungle and boy is it great!! It does use back heat. Don't ask me why, but I am using Jason's for my kings, corns, and milks. I'll use the belly head of the Boaphile for my ball python and Hog Island. The ball must like belly heat; I find him at the back of the Jason's up against the back side.

I replaced all of my racks this year. I did a lot of homework before making my purchase. I posted in the cage and habitat forum, talked to other breeders, called several rack builders, etc. After comparing quality, price/value, etc. I went with Animal Plastics. I have owned a cage from Boaphile and I was impressed with the quality and how it worked, even the value. I think the 421D is a great cage but when it comes to racks, Animal Plastics is the way to go. I just got my fourth rack from them. I got a hatchling rack this time. The quality of construction, attention to detail, box fit, and overall functionality are top of the line. Their customer service is first rate. Many companies claim to have good customer service. Unfortunate for me, I had the opportunity to test the customer service at AP. Fed-Ex damaged my first shipment. AP had all new racks built and delivered to me before Fed-Ex picked up the damaged racks. No cost to me, no hassels, no debating fault,etc.

I personally like Animal Plastics aswell

morphevolutions Oct 11, 2005 11:58 AM

Agreed on Animal Plastics. Their customer service was great for us and the quality of the racks was very impressive for the price paid. I also like the attention to detail and how well the rack put together.

We went with AP because we never received a response back from "another company" about ordering their racks. Needless to say, we are very happy with the way things turned out and will be ordering more racks within the next month.

Good quality. One of the things to consider when comparing prices... Boaphile prices ALL INCLUDE the cost of shipping!

VoiceOfTruth Oct 12, 2005 09:41 PM

I have a number of the older boaphile racks as well and I love them.... I also have some of their ballroom rhinoracks and I'm not as thrilled with these as I am with the the others...... The others have the heat tape enclosed. The ballroom racks have the heat tape recessed,,,, but still exposed..... Not sure how that will wear over the long run, but when I spend that much on a rack I expect at least a decades worth of use out of them..............

I've been hearing some very good things about vision racks lately, I think they will be a company to keep an eye on.
