Does anyone here use these cages for there PET snakes? I may end up breeding later down the road, I just wanted to know what you guys thought about these cages...........thanks, venomousdave.

And Jeff Ronne is one of the best guys to buy from, he has your animals best interest in mind when he made these cages. they are excellent!

"To be the best..........You must lose your mind."

they are the best for the money, it takes a while to get your cage, but it's well worth it. I only have a single 421D and a 10 tub rack from Jeff but I have a 421T being built. I wouldn't go with another cage.

I just bought 4 more cages from Boaphile. Not only were they VERY reasonably priced, but they arrived within the 4-6 week period that Jeff promised. They are built well and are very configurable for growing projects. For example, I bought 4 foot cages with a divider that I can later combine with another 4 foot cage. This gives me the possibility of having 4-2 ft cages, 2-4 ft cages, 1-2 ft and 1-6 ft cage, or 1 large 8 ft cage.

By the way, I also bought cages from Monster Cages. This guy is TERRIBLE to deal with. He took 3 months to get us our cages, charged us more for the shipping (then he originally promised), and finally goes really cheap on the hardware. For example, he uses little plastic clips to close cage doors. Boaphile uses solid handle-like clips to close the cages.

Definately go with Boaphile, you won't be dissapointed.

I agree with the no monster cages. I dealt with him (Matt)in the past and had bad experiences with him and I have eight of his cages that I am about to sale at my buddies pet store and at a local reptile show. In my monster cages where the plastic latches are screwed in, the sharp end of the screw is exposed in the inside of the cages. The wait was crazy and shipping prices increased just like the previous poster stated. I have a boaphile order in as we speak.

So far total I have 6 421d (4'x2'x11.5", 3 421 townhouse (dividable into two 2x2) and 3 421 Condo (dividable into four 1x2) and three of the 30 slot hatchling racks. They are vary nice, well built with good hardware. Jeff has always been good to work with. I plan on ordering more in the future, I've got room for a stack of four 6422H's (6'x2'x17.5".

One really nice feature of the boaphiles is you can order them complete with UTH. Basically unpack, stack, clean, stabalize and within a few days they are 100% ready for theit occupants.

I myself prefer to have too many cages and get new ones before I need them so nobody is overcrowded. So I have several empty cages at all times.

Hey, are you guys like those crazy old cat ladies that like to hoard cats? Just kidding! I keep allot, too, but not that many yet. LOL! Derek

I have been breeding colubrids in them for a few years and absolutely love them. I now switched gears and bought a boa collection. My boas aside from one, are still a little too small for the four foot cages. I did purchase one four footer with double heat, 3 black hinges, 3 knobs and expandable sides and so far, I love it. I think I may end up sticking with them and doing the entire room in them. Here are a few shots.
