Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hi im new to the forum and have a specific goal at least for right now, the goal is to figure out why more people are not using HDPE cages instead of PVC?

Like if somebody can make them and offer them at the exact same prices as other cage makers or priced maybe 10-50 bucks more for a superior cage in every area (Strength) , durability , cleaning, 248 degree heat tolerance what would be stopping you for buying them?? Like proline cages the guy from northwest constrictors who used to make hdpe cages.

So what do you guys think??

I hear you. Showcase Cages are HDPE or similar in properties anyway, and they last forever. You can kick them, bump them, whatever with no damage. More difficult to keep warm if in a cold room compared to the closed-cell PVC cages, but that can be dealt with.
