Looks great, Grant.

Are those cages available in Canada, if so, who sells them?

www.visioncage.com (http://www.visioncages.com)

I wish Tim!
Supposedly they were available a long time ago, but there wasn't enough interest in them to make it worth anyones time and money.
With all the shipping charges to bring up a wack of them and the fact that there wholesale price is very close to there retail price, the cages would have to be sold at a high price to make a reasonable profit.

What i do, is keep an eye on the KS classifieds for them as those americans sell em cheap alot of times. Plus alot of them are willing to ship them if they are small enough to be shipped.
The low selling price, as well as the fact that they're more willing to declare a lower customs value then the corporate companies, usually makes it cheaper in the end. :)

Looks amazing. I am so jealous!!! Hopefully, one day I'll have something similar. Ahh, so neat and organised!

[TheRedDragon]

That looks awesome Grant, I love Vision cages, I hoping to get a set-up like that sometime as well. :)

[Tim_Cranwill]

Oh well, maybe one day... :) They look nice and clean though. I'd like to have my carpets in that kind of enclosure someday.

Thats an amazing set up. Is that your mister in the pic? Thats a good idea my arm gets sore from using one of those little spray bottles.

Nice cages, how do you attach the perchs for your arboreal snakes?

[Grant vg]

Thanks guys!

That is a mister in the pic. You can find them at home depot.
All the animals need high humidity, so id be filling a spray bottle 4 times a day, and pumping it constantly.
With this, i fill it every 3-4 days and its much easier on the arm.
It also helps for getting those hard to reach areas and prevents getting tagged by the arboreals.

For the perches, i used these PVC things that screw into the sides and the pvc slides right into them.
There in the PVC section of homedepot and come in all different diameters.
i sawed one of each pair of perch holders, so i can slip them out if need be.
Personally, id go with the www.barrs.com perch holders, as they dont require any holes to be mounted. Which with these cages, the holes kind of ruins them if you decide not to keep arboreals.
unfportunately, i didn't think of that before. Doh!

Another great place to find cages is at www.boaphileplastics.com

Heres a pic from their site:

These things look awesome, I want them and they are only $200 each shipped! Unfortunately, I can build wooden ones cheaper but it takes so much more time

[Grant vg]

Watch out for the boaphiles though, they warp extremely easy when not levelled, and if anything sharp comes in contact with them , you better have the duck tape ready, as they cut/rip easily.

those look awsome! but where does the heat bulb go?

[Linds]

Looking great, Grant! Those cages really make for an organized, cleaner look! :)

Thanks everyone!

672,

heres a few pics to give you a better idea of what i was talking about.
Check home depot. im not sure what they are called, so you will have to browse around.
These come in all diameters as far as i know.

And here is the one i cut in 1/2 so i can take off the perch if need be.
