    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey guys, just a couple quick questions about caging.

Some of my boas have outgrown their current enclosures, and I've been looking around for caging options. We've decided on the XPVC stackable cages, and there is something of a price difference between Boa Master and Boaphile. Just hoping to see if anyone out there had bad experiences with one or the other as far as durability or longevity, heat tolerance, or other issues that might be pertinent.

Also noticed that there's an economy version of the enclosure from Boa Master that is 1/4" thick on top and bottom, as opposed to the usual 1/2" thickness, and wondered if that would be sturdy enough to house adult boas in a stack.

Thanks for any input.
 
Well, I mostly just found positive reviews for both companies. Probably means they're both pretty decent. Just ordered 5 cages and a pedestal from Boaphile. From what I've seen so far, I imagine they'll serve admirably. :)
 
Haven't dealt with boamaster but heard good things about them. I have eight boaphile cages and am very happy. Turnaround takes awhile but I'm more concerned with the long term and usually buy cages well in advance of the snakes. One of my cages is about 5-6 years old, the rest are new within the past year or two, all holding up great.
