 New AP cages

I got my shipment of six (!) AP cages today. We assembled one of them to check it out. It’s going to be a LONG time before we have everything arranged to the point where the uros get to move in, but I’m very pleased with the cages so far. The cats and I are there for scale.

Very nice, I am going to be ordering my AP cage on friday. I wish their Uromastyx cage was 24 inches high instead of 18.

From what I understand, you can special order them to 24" high ... I think Doublemom did that.

AP will customize the Uro cage to the height you want. I ordered 24" tall, but unfortunately got shipped 18" tall, so they are re-building mine as we speak.

Waiting in Seattle....

Nice, I emailed them but never got a response, but I’ll just keep waiting, good thing I only live 4 hours away from them so it should be quick shipping.

I ordered the T20 size with the uromastyx customizations. They’re supposedly 72" x 24" x 24", but they aren’t quite. The length is really 72", but the height is more like 22.5" and the depth is 23.5". And those are exterior dimensions. DEFINITELY go for the 24" height, not the 18". The 30" depth would be better, but I didn’t have space for that.

I had some trouble reaching them at AP initially, but once I made contact, the customer service was very good.

So...where do you put six of those? Are you going to stack them? And how high? Are the fronts glass? You should have some happy uro’s!

Oh my!!! It is HUGE! AND you got SIX!! I’d have to build a house addition.

What will you put in each? WHERE will you put them??

I bet it seems like Christmas at your house.

They’re stackable - I’ll have two stacks of three. And what used to be the master bedroom is a lizard room now (handy sink available so I don’t have to get my kitchen sink all lizardy). Since they stack, they’ll take up far less room than the mess I have in there now, even though they’re larger. There will be one lizard per cage.

HOLY CR#P Tori...

That enclosure is HUGE (or you’re just really short)

You’ll have to post some photos of what the finished stack set-up looks like when everyone is "moved in".

I’m looking at getting one soon (think I’ll go for the 30" depth) though I have to work out a place to put it (my mali seems to "enjoy" watching what I’m doing and Animal Planet...not too shy).

My DH is downstairs as we speak putting together our two 48" x 30" x 24" tall AP cages. He’s doing all the work since I had knee surgery yesterday. We had a mix up originally and were sent the 18 tall cages, but they have since shipped the correct height of 24". Can’t wait to get them up and running and get my lizzies moved over !
