animal plastics or pro line modular

fixednyc Jan 29, 2014 09:27 PM

Hey so i was planning on buying a new cage for my suriname red tailed boa. My current options are the T65 from animal plastics or the equivalent size from constrictorsnw… The cage from constrictors northwest would be two 4 foot cages($400 each) connected to make a 8 foot cage. I was just looking for anyones opinions on either one of these companies. Money is not the real issue. Its ability too keep a consistent temperature and humidity and the durability of the product.(i need something that will out live my snake……

If anyone else knows any other companies that sell similar cages please feel free too let me know the name.. thx for al the help

You cannot go wrong with either!

I am a fan of the ProLine material and construction. The plastic they use is very tough and will outlast you. Does not hold heat quite as well as the 1/2 inch PVC that I think AP's are made with, but the difference in insulation is not enough to worry about.

Radiant heat panels will work well for a large cage like those. Either one larger panel or two smaller panels. Of course Flexwatt or similar heater is also a good choice. I think RHPs are just easier.

IMO a 6ft cage should be plenty of room for any boa.
