 Boaphile and animal plastic
Can I get some opinions on both for these cages? I am looking and the 4 x 2 x 11.5 for my Red tail boas. I am leaning with the heat tape to have them install since its such a low cage. My first time experience with cages that are not tanks or melamine ones I built. I dont want to build melamine ones cause they are in my basement where it is damp and think it would ruin the melamine so am going to spring the extra bucks. Second question is how hard is it to install heat panel if I wanted to afterwards? One final question on them is any problems with the one door? I am looking at the one door or the two door. Final note I also looked at the animal plastics but didnt like having to assemble but do like the sliding doors so any opinions on those welcome too.

I personally love my boaphiles. I use the 421D’s and they are beautiful and work just as good as they look.
I have no problems with the one door. It is great for viewing and I personally think it would be more difficult with the two doors. As far as the heat panel goes, you will have to talk to the manufacturer about installation.
Since you are using these cages for boas, I would suggest the heat tape. It’s cheaper and provides the belly heat that boas need.

I would decide which features you want in a cage, then decide on a manufacturer. I have and love my AP cages and racks. I personally hate the drop down style doors of the boaphiles, not alone the fact that its one big door. So sliding doors were my choice. They also had to be black, which eliminated some of the other manufacturers. Its all about personal preferences in the design. Good luck with your decision.
Thanks
