What do you guys think of these cages?

by the way I am new here and am looking for a custom bearded cage.I saw these cages online and seem to be priced good. What do you think.? If I dont go with a custom cage I am just going to go with a 48x18x18 aquarium.

The cage looks nice from the pictures, but I'd have to see one to be able to accurately evaluate it.
The only problem I see is the lexan door. Using it as a beardie cage, the door will get scratched up. I put an adult beardie in a empty snake cage once as a temporary measure while I built additional caging. It didn't take long before the 1/4" plexiglass door was so scratched it looked cloudy.
Lexan it tougher than plexiglass in respect to breakage, btu I don't know about scratch resistance. I've used both materials, but I've never subjected lexan to a bearded dragon's nails.
Every beardie cage I built was either large and open topped, or had 1/4" plate glass doors.

I have a few of those cages. I bought them (from the guy that builds them, not that ebay seller), and quickly decided that they did not suit my needs/purposes. If you have any interest in the 36x18x18 version, let me know.

As far as did not suit your needs what do you mean. Were they carp or they just werent the right size for you.

They just weren't right for what I was keeping. Believe me - if they were crap, I would have just sent you a PM saying so. I did use one of them briefly, & had no problems

one more problem would be that the crickets would be able to crawl up the sides of the tank.

What about a layer of clear coat on the lexan, I don't know how that would work with animals, but I know it was a lifesaver of my Ttops.

Just to add information...There is the choice of using Lexan or Glass with these enclosures.

Just to add information...Crickets would not be able to escape, We use 1/8" Heavy Steel Gauge Hardware Cloth Mesh for the top.
