    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....

Paul Edwards!! Best customer service EVER!

Isn`t he the guy?

Isn`t he the guy who is trying to knock off Habitat Systems cages now?
Has anyone purchased his new PVC cages or racks?

If you are going to state something like this, at least back it up with your full name.
 
I am just asking. Why is everyone on here so uptight? I just noticed his ads on KS for cages. Habitat has been building white hollow PVC for many years. I think they have a great product. I own a lot of it. I also purchase any thing that shows up used when I can use it. The stuff lasts forever. I just saw Mr. Edwards ad. I see his price seems to good to be true. I have also noticed some of it seems to be screwed together. Habitat is glued and welded together. I just want to know if anyone has purchased any? and if it is holding up like Habitat products.

Hey Jim,
This is Paul Edwards of ProTek Caging Systems. The owner and founder of Habitat Systems, Tom Weidner, has mentioned your name many times and I know he thinks highly of you. You can do no better than to have Tom making cages for you. Yes, I am the guy making the cages, racks and incubators that are simular to Habitat Systems. I use no screws though, don't know what you're referring to there. I do use rivits a lot on the face frames and doors. I use a process of adhering these things together and I frankly don't know if HS does it the same way or not...I have my own process and it took me a long time to figure out how to go about working with the material and a lot of trial and error and research...and it is tricky for sure, but things are in the works to be making my own PVC hollow core panelling. But yes, they will hold up just as well and will last a lifetime. Nothing is better than H.S. though in my mind as they are the top reptile enclosure manufacturers on the planet...bar none! All of these guys that are so enthralled by a sheet goods rack or cage have no idea what they are missing, or what quality is all about. I've always said success with animals is all about the facilities. I'm trying to bring to the herper/collector/breeder a superior product that they can afford. I'll never be as cheap as most out there and I don't want to be. Habitat Systems are so good that their business now is mainly zoos and publicly funded institutions as I understand it. I don't have anywhere near their overhead frankly and my price reflects this. Although I would be happy to charge you more! LOL !
Hope this helps!

I have a cage on order with Paul right now.
so far his willingness to accomodate my needs has been outstanding.
I will definitely post again after I get a chance to evaluate the cage.

I'm glad that someone had a good experience with Paul. I purchased two female pastel ball pythons from him February/March of this year and not only did he keep stalling on shipping them I was only sent one of the correct snakes. The other was not the animal I paid for. His customer service left much to be desired.
