Great job Greg it looks awesome. I can hardly wait to pick it up tomorrow.

I intend to house most of my breeder boas in these cages. I think they will work great being lightweight and stackable plus they are not too hard to look at.

Additionally ease of cleaning and these will last. I built melamine cages 3 years ago and they are pretty much ready for the garbage. Melamine just does not hold up when you are dealing with large boids no matter how well they are made. These could last 20 years.

Heating is simple a 2 foot piece of 11 inch flexwatt underneath one end hooked up to a Helix or other proportional thermostat and you have the perfect hotspot. All you have to remember is to put some small slats between the cages when they are stacked. This way there is a small airspace inbetween cages so the flexwatt can breath. Another even better option is radiant heat panels mounted on the ceiling again hooked up to a helix.

Top notch job Greg!!!!!

Those are some sweet tanks Greg.

What other sizes will be available?

I would deffinitely be interested in say a 3x18x18 or anything in that area for my smaller hog island boas.

I would love to get some pricing as well. I am going to be looking for 2 - 3'X1.5'X18" or therabouts.

the only ones I have close to that size are

23"x18"x18"
and
29"x17"x13.5"
and
2'x2'x16"
These aren't in production yet, but any one of these could be available. The first out of them will be the one I have the bigger requests for, so let me know which would work best. Thanks for the intrest in them.

Very nice :) What are they made out of? Are those plastic hinges? If so, why did you choose them?

zillatanks
12-01-04, 08:52 PM
The tanks are made from polyethylene and the hinges are acrylic. I use them becuase the don't require any drilling, they are chemically bonded to the door.
