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.

Building plastic cages?
So i need some new cages and i'm debating whether it's better to buy pre made cages or build my own. I need about 8, 4 foot cages which would be pretty pricey to buy new so i wanted to know about how much it would cost to build a plastic cage with sliding plexiglass doors and what kind of materials you used and how you put it together. If it would cost less than 150 a cage then i would definitely prefer to make my own.
So my questions are:
1. What is the best type of plastic to use, something that will not bow when they're stacked up and won't have a strong plastic smell. And where can i find the plastic. (i'd prefer black plastic or a way to paint it black that's safe for the snakes)
2. I'm new to building stuff with plastic, how would i connect the pieces, glue, screws? Does anyone have a good building plan?
3. If you've made a similar sized plastic cage about how much did it cost to make and how difficult was it to make?
4. If building cages turns out to cost to much what is the best brand of pre made cages that is safe and decent looking but cheap?
