Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Reptile Basics Caging?
I was thinking about buying a cage or two from them. Rich seems to be a good guy and answered my email very quickly. I don't want to spend a lot of money on cages without having other people's opinions and stories about a product. The reason I prefer Reptile Basics caging is the 3/8" over the Animal Plastics 1/2". I would like to keep the cages light without going super thin.

I have several of the racks and love them. Going to be buying some more racks soon. The iris bins much better then other brands as well. Rich is a really good guy too.

Are the cages built solidly? I heard the boaphiles tend to be flimsy sometimes because of the 1/4" material and AP cages are heavy due to the 1/2" material.

I don't own an RB cage, but I have checked them out in person. They are VERY sturdy. I lifted it off the display table, and I must admit that it was heavier than I expected, but by no means would I call it a heavy cage.
There were also quite a few stacked up next to the table. I saw no indication of sagging whatsoever.
I plan on ordering from RB for my next cage.

Yes they are very sturdy. No sagging no issues what so ever. Had them over a year now with no problems.

I had never owned a commercial cage ever until last fall. After a few months of needing new caging, but not having the time to build any, I finally broke down and decided some would have to be bought.
I checked out every cage on the market and decided that the RBI cages were the best choice by far.
I had Rich build me six of the 3x2 cages with heat and lights and I couldn't be more impressed with them. They are the perfect balance between sturdiness and weight. The groove routed underneath for the T-stat probe is a great feature too.
I had seen Boaphile cages but I personally didn't care for them compared to the RBI cages, they just didn't seem to have the rigidity. AP cages are nice, but heavy and require assembly, and just don't look quite as smooth as the RBI cages.
I fully intend to add some more of Rich's cages to the snake room this year, they have been a great investment.
