Great Cages!

I love these cages! Been using them for quit some time. Easy to maintain, easy to clean! I see some of these other reviews crying about the lip and you gotta put your hand in their and your head in their, ideal with venomous, so neither of those two tatics would work unless i have a death wish! I use a telescoping mirror and a flashlight, the hides boxes i have in the rear of the cage but facing out so i can see if they are in their hide box! For the tracks getting dirty......of course they will, so will hinges and anyting else, a little vaccum to it and your good to go! Bottom line, i love these cages and i highly recommend them!

For the money, you'll be hard pressed to find a better plastic molded cage on the market. They look nice, are sturdy (despite reports of bowing), easy to clean and meet all of the needs of the animals. The bowing issues and front doors being able to be lifted out can be very easily rectified w/little effort. Despite reports of problems with lips and other areas where venomous herps can hide, I don't find this to be a problem. We use them for public exhibit with our many venomous herps and have never had a problem.

Having worked in a pet store that has these cages. I can say, DON'T USE VISION CAGES!
If you heat them in any way they will bow. Half will come from the factory that way. If you are luckey they will send the locks. But that doesn't matter because the glass can be easly lifted out with the locks in place. (theft has gone thrue the roof.)
You will never see your snake again. It will hide in the lip that goes all the way around the glass. the only way to find it will be to, A grope around with your hand untill you find it, or B stick your head completly it the cage and look.
They simply can not be altered enough to house small snakes. Save nailing plywood over the front of the cage. There just to many holes.
Substrate will clog the tract that the doors sit in verry quickly
They will dry rot and become brittle in 3 to 4 years. But the cage will have bowed to the point that, the glass doors can not be moved by any amount of force long before then.
A side from that they are wonderful cages.

where did my snake go?

I would have to say, they are nice looking, but after having to modify them, not worth the money. Hiding of even a decent size hot is a problem in these cages. Would never want to keep anything small in them either. Just not worth the money.
I've found that custom builders here build customs for a fraction of the cost.

I think these cages are great.As far as the inner lip on the edges of the doors, easily fixed with spray foam.I don't ever use lights,I find heat pads to be much more efficient.They are not that expensive considering how much space they save.Very easy to clean also.I think they are the best on the market

Good for non-venomous
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

I think the bigger cages are preety nice. I would never put a venomous in there but fine for non-venomous. I own 9 of them and like them fine. They are good for tropical snakes that need humidity. When I was in Florida a while back I went to several venomous breeders houses and found that almost every single cage they used was vision. I was very quiet suprissed at this. They are not escape proof though. I have a gopher snake that even after I put a lock on its cage it still got out. I would rather use a aqurium any day for venomous than these cages.

not for hots

Beautiful and well constructed but the lips around the inside make them unsafe for hot keepers. Would be great for non vens though.

not the best by any means :(
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

the main problem i have
apart from what every one else has already stated is the fact that the larger ones bow teribley when staked
THEY NEED TO BE ON A RACK!
i wouldn't use any vision for hots IMO unless modified to suit before hand
for the price you could go out and order a whole load of A.P.vivs and have them designed to your specifications

Ok but has some problems

I agree with some other comments posted here. The ability to hid under or over the door is a serious problem. I fixed it by filling the voids with foam cut to fit snuggly. On the bottom I just push the substrate right up to the foam. I was also worried about small hots escaping between the glass panes too. I placed weather stripping on the rear pane to reduce the space. If you take the proper precautions and be vigilent before entering the cage they can be used safely. I feel these are a better choice than aquariums.
