[Nicky]

Hey everyone,
I'm not sure where I would post this but does anyone know where to buy/order those really nice acrylic cages? I saw a few ahwile back at expo as displays and would really like to get one. Does anyone know someone who makes them or who sells them?
Thanks

tim i love those cages!!! are there any distributors here in the U.S?
and are those prices in Canadian or American $$?

[Tim_Cranwill]

The prices are Candian. You would have to contact them to see if shipping to the states is possible.

Tim, are you planning on getting one of their racks or just regular plastic enclosures? Apparently they are working on making plastic racks that fit standard RubberMaid tubs the could be used for Ball Pythons... he's supposed to send me some pictures sometime this weekend or early next week apparently.

Later,
Bristen.

I'd have to second Matt and check out www.understoryenterprises.com

Mark made me a really nice cage for a good price and everything was perfect. Mind you, I haven't even used it yet but here are some pics of it empty.

I was going to house my GTP in it but he is really content in his rubbermaid for now. But for sure, check out understory enterprises. It's ALL acrylic, with acrylic perches, a pull out drawer and vents. It's really nice when the cage is 100% clear in every single way like this one. A bit of extra work, but worth it!

Wow!! That's like the perfect stuff for display racks for herp shows! They must do those also huh?

Thanks for sharing the pictures Marissa!

I am sure Mark would be willing to make things custom....he is very helpful and was quick to reply to my emails. Although I believe sometimes he travels so take that into consideration.

Another thing to remember, acrylic must be treated with care. No paper towels for cleaning or anything rough. In fact, I use a car "shammy" to avoid scratches. Things to think about if you are looking to save time and energy.... I wouldn't have 35 of these cages because of maintanence, but a few are definitly a super sweet addition and I hope to buy a couple more.

I just got two enclosures on Monday from reptic plastics and I HIGHLY recommend him. They are very well made. They stack perfectly and are pretty light. His prices are amazing and it didn't take him long to make them. They are so easy to clean. Not like would at all. I'm getting a redtail next week and when he's bigger I will be buying another larger enclosure from reptic plastics.

If your handy with epoxy you can try building one cheap. I just picked up a 36X72'' sheet of Acrylic Safety Glazing for 78.12$ at Home Depot in Newmarket. Easier to work then glass too for other cages.
