    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....

Here was my pair of Mozambique Spitting Cobras that I kept in Neodesha Cages. Anyone keeping venomous reptiles in Neodesha Cages can face charges for housing such animals in "unsecure cages"

These photographs were snapped weeks before this: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119931&highlight=Steve+Markevich

The cages are so clean you can barely notice the pictures were shot through glass!

Before fighting and arguing between ourselves we should be sticking together and fighting the people looking to take our freedoms and rights away! :thumbsup:
 
what is actually considered a SECURE now. i live in Nc and they passed the new laws here but no one knows what they actually mean, i have contacted state wildlife and after about a month and a half they told me to talk to my local animal control officers, i did that today and they had no clue that laws had even been changed, so they gave me a number to another guy that works for the state. i have contacted the nc herp society and several others no one seem to know what the real deal is. i dont know what the laws are for where you are but do you know what a secure cage consist of, at least this would answer one question.
 
How the heck can someone claim that neodeshas are not secure?
I would consider neodeshas one of the MOST secure cages out there.
Once an animal is closed in the cage, there is no way to get out (no spaces, etc). The door on this neo model is one piece that slides the length and overlaps the ends. The track is built into the molded cage. Plus the slanted front gives you great visibility into the cage and there are no tight spaces or inside lips for hots to hide. There are also holes on each end of the sliding glass door that line up with the molded frame so you van add locks to the cage.
Out of all of the cages I have ever owned, I have found neodeshas to be the most secure cage out there.

How would someone feel if they were charged with Recklessly Endangering Another Person for housing such animals in these cages?

I would be pissed.
There is no way that housing a hot in a neodesha could even remotely be considered a threat to someones safety. Most hot keepers prefer neos because of the features that make them secure.
 
I like Neodeshas, but IMO, unless they have a hole drilled in the cage AND the glass, for some sort of "locking" device, or some other way of "locking" the glass in place, they are NOT a secure cage. Aurora was a master at escaping from her Neodesha. My Salmon Boa has escaped from it, as has My Colombian female MJ. Each time was because I trusted them, and didn't place the locking device on the cage.

Great cages, though I wish Ted had started making the large square units again now that they're back. I never did like the small slant faced ones too much, because of my choice of critters outgrowing them so fast.

Figured I'd add my 2¢ since I was directed to the thread. :thumbsup:

Really? I didn't know some came without that feature.
Every one I have ever bought in the slant front design had the hole drilled thru the glass and into the frame. They came with the little pins that you could replace with locks.
 
Let me reiterate... unless the locking devices are being used. I've seen plenty that are not used. And not all models of Neodesha came with them back in the old days. My old four and six footer rectangular ones, I had to figure out a way to use a display case lock on them. :yesnod:
