    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....

Ok I am going to be purchasing quite a few cages shortly and was wondering what your preferences are. I love the Boaphile cages in black they are sweet. Also precision caging has some very nice cages with light fixtures installed and are about the same price if not a little cheaper, but they dont look as nice. Just answer what kind of cages you prefer even the old standby's Vision and Neodesha <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> This is not what cages do you use because I know that like me many of you have more than one kind i'm just looking for your preference in function, looks, ease of cleaning, and best display.

I dont need advice on racks cause the boaphile racks stole my heart lol
 
For chameleons we use all screen cages. For our Uro's and Dragons we use the melamine cages (keep the heat in well).
 
I recently bought a homemade cge from a builder at lee watosns its 4 x 2 (At least) x 2 1/2 (i think) for only  175$ and it has a hetaer and a light system built in and its own electircal too!!!! I would highly reccomend it. he has bigger ones to for a little more tho..

yeah that guy makes some real nice looking cages but the ease of cleaning probably isnt very good is it?
 
I currently use 90% Visions caging but after seeing what Freedom Breeders has out and talking to Lindy I am totally sold.  They are more practical and allow you to keep more animals in the same amount of space, with more ease when it comes to cleaning or removing an animal from the cage.  Their design is great and the product itself is extremely well made and durable.  If I could afford it right now I would convert all my caging to Freedom Breeder cages.

Cages

I have to agree with Tim on this , but it all depends on the direction you choose to go in keeping snakes i guess?.Me i like the look a habitat gives for you / the snake and all who see them.There more costly to purchase & more a pain for maintaining them but the overall look to me is worth it .But like i said if you're keeping more then 20 snakes racks or stackable cages is the way to go . But then as mentioned you have to look at lifespans of cages versus replacement costs after a few years of use with some on the markets today.
just my .02
