PVC Enclosures

I thought I had decided on the AP T-10 but I came across another manufacturer that I'm not too familiar with. The enclosures look really nice and they're pretty affordable. Does anyone here use Boamaster enclosures? Any opinions on these? TIA.

I have seen them and their products at reptile expos over the years but never purchased any of their products. I think they have a pretty good rep though. As far as quality, there are people who only use them.

Thanks Al. I'm tempted to give them a try.

I have a two boa master cages. and their plastic option is by far a better product. the mel. cage I have can't handle the humidity and is about to go in the trash. had to switch snakes that were in it because it got soft and they found their way out and in to my attic. as soon as I can that pos is gone. but the plastic one is great.

I had a boamaster for a while. Nice quality. Their wait can be a bit long though.

Thanks guys, now I'm torn between them and AP. Some of the Boa Master reviews weren't so great.

I liked my APs more than the BoaMaster I had.

I think I'm going to order (2) AP T-8's for my bull snakes. They ship a lot quicker than the T-10's and my bulls don't climb much anyway so I can live without the extra 3 inches of height that the T-10 offers. Quick question though. I've never used the flexwatt heat tape and prefer to use UTH's. Will the ultratherm UTH's get hot enough to create an appropriate hot spot of 85 or so through 1/2" of pvc? If not, I believe the zoo-med uth's get a bit hotter. Do any of you all use UTH's with your PVC enclosures? TIA for any input.
