I have never owned or used a boaphile cage, but I have a herper bud who has used them for boas. Based on what he has said about their construction, I don't think they would be ventilated enough/heat tolerant for uro requirements. I would look at cage manufacturers that design for bearded dragons and other lizards. They make cages with enough height, ventilation, and heat tolerances that will do for uros. Some even make uro specific cages. All for about the same cost as a boaphile. Thats my $0.02 worth. However, you can always contact Boaphile plastics and ask them if the cage will suffice.
