Does anyone know about acrylic enclosures?

I'm looking for a bigger enclosure for when my snake outgrows her current one and while searching on kingsnake i found this site that makes and sells acrylic cages. I'm just curious because i've never seen these before.

Re: Does anyone know about acrylic enclosures?

I build acrylic cages of my own design for my tarantula's. My cost, including materials, laser cutting, and lock are around $40/cage. What price are they asking?

Re: Does anyone know about acrylic enclosures?

Some snakes feels unsafe/insecure if they're exposed like that with all sides of the enclosure transparent. Most do better if you cover 2 or 3 of the sides of their enclosures, so IDK about getting an all transparent cage. Just something to put out there...

Avoid their products like the plague. The acrylics are too small for most snakes and the other cages are all screen.
