Re: My New Boaphiles!
I am really shocked that those hinges aren't all stainless steel...

Re: My New Boaphiles!
Wouldn't a coat of nailpolish fix that problem? Pain in the butt for 80 cages, but for 2 it's shouldn't be a problem.... Very unfortunate that they went for aesthetics over quality... what's the point of a cage with door that won't open... just another pedastal...

Re: My New Boaphiles!
That wont solve the issue.. that will only coat the outside of the hinge. The issue is the pins on the inside of the hinge will rust and then make opening and closing hard.

I didn't realise the whole mechanism was made of that metal... That really blows... What about a rust inhibitor like CP90?

Re: My New Boaphiles!
That would work but I would be concerned with putting a chemical in to a snakes viv. You would need to reapply that once in a while also..

Re: My New Boaphiles!
Wow I love Sassy!! How have I not seen her yet? Gorgeous Burm!
Now back the the subject... I don't think I want those chemicals near my snakes either, so knock that suggestion. Wonder if there's a way you could use Zinc... Or replace the pin maybe? There has to be a way to prevent the rust from happening...
