Finally Qizil's Boaphile came in! In just about a month! Considering what I saw from all my tedious research that is about th estimated wait time, so pretty good!
I'll have to open up the thing and inspect it later when I have time, but I will definitely post more update pics after I get it all set up~ ! Then comes the task of waiting for Dad to get home so he can lug Sir giant-and-muscular into his new abode~
Then I can go about decking out Lingueeno's permanent digs as well once the big boy is moved over~ !
Toodles for now, folks!

Which model did you get?

I got the 6322D Combo Cage-- 6 footer.
It's in perfect condition-- not a scratch on it! Though it looks like they forgot to install the Flourescent Lights, which is a bit of a bummer. They still put in the heat pad though. Can't go without that!

Update for you guys-- Got it all unpacked, letting it air out so that brand new "chemical smell" is gone. Waiting until Sunday when my Dad's more available and the crates are cleaned out-- gonna finish setting it up then and put it on it's supports so it's off the floor.
It came in SUPER packed up; not a scratch on the thing! It was slightly dirty but nothing that a quick once over and clean with spray, paper towels and wipes didn't fix!
It came pretty much exactly how I wanted-- only thing is they forgot the Flourescent Lights. I did order and pay for them so Imma definitely call/email about that to see if I can get them shipped over, or at least get a refund for them though i honestly don't think they cost too much.
Overall I am a very happy customer~ ! Can't wait to get this bad boy set up and get the giant phat noodle into his new home! Then I can move Lingueeno over too.
Now to patiently wait for the time I can get my Carpet Python. :D

Nice looking cage, too bad about the lights. Shouldn't happen really.

Thanks guys! I am very happy-- and I am quite sure the giant noodle with an attitude will be too once he gets moved into this massive thing!
With the lights, I called, we talked, and I got a refund~ No hissy fits, no fighting, nothing. He was very kind and understanding, apologized for the mistake and refunded me the full price of the lights, so I am either way a happy camper!
Not worried at all about the Flourescent Lighting cause I can buy/order those things just about anywhere and screw/fasten them into the thing myself. I'm just glad it came with the main heating element and without a single scratch!

Got an update for everybody!

Qizil's new cage is finished~ !
Got it all set up and stacked up properly, and the big handsome cranky noodle is in there now, checking his new digs and settling in! Still a little bumbed about the lighting, but the Heat Pad works so that's a plus!
If push comes to shove I might just find a way to jimmy-rig some flourescents in there, but for right now we're just seeing how it works~ !

Here's the big guy peeking out through the glass right after we put him in~
To note, yes there is some significant condensation in there, but thankfully the humidity is sitting nice and tight in a good range so I'm not worried!
I have an outside source of light from another heat lamp helping just in case (which you can't see in the above pictures) but for now, it's going just fine!

Cool cage you got there!

Thanks! I didn't wind up getting flourescent lights yet-- instead I have two heat lamps rigged up on a lamp stand, and they seem to be doing the job just fine!
I would still prefer only one real good lamp and bulb, or at least some flourescents I could put in there, but despite the Red-neck setup he is happy as a clam-- he shed a full perfect shed for me in there too, so this is working out fine! I'm just a bit of an OCD freak, hehe!
