Stackable plastic cages

[Stefan-A]

Does anybody here have any positive or negative experiences with plastic stackable terrariums, for example Vision, Showcase etc. cages?

[reptileparadise]

I find them quite expensive. No experience though...

[Stefan-A]

Indeed they are, especially since nobody in this country sells them. But I would still like to know if people who have used them thought they were worth the price.

I still have this crazy dream of designing an affordable model myself. :D

[GarterGuy]

I'll have to let you know....I've got a set of them coming soon. But I do agree they are kind of expensive.

I'm currently building some cages, 36 to be precise...I'll post some pictures soon, and if you like it, I can also look up what is cost me...But, since i'm a student, I can assure you its affordable...

[Stefan-A]

That'd be great!

I was thinking about an affordable model as a possible business idea. :D Something really simple to make, like one of those plastic pet boxes. The kind people usually keep their cats and dogs in when they travel. Practically just two nearly identical halves with a swinging or sliding door.

[reptileparadise]

okay, posted something...not plastic, but very easy to build and I have high expectations!

Yeah, they look very good. I have slightly different requirements at the moment, though. :D

I use some of the plastic molded vivariums with glass sliding doors and the only problem i have found is they don't have adequate ventilation but that can easily be fixed. They are easy to clean.

Have a look at these. I don't know of anyone who has used them and I'm not sure how well they would ventilate through the corners, but they look great and are stackable. You can even buy dividers to help save some more space and money.
If anyone here has used them, I'd like to hear what you think about them as I have thought about getting a couple myself.

i do like the look of them and it all looks very nice and easy to clean but i bet the wont deliver over here! :(

[Spiritwolf]

At the price they are going for, one would think that they should at least provide adequate ventilation for the occupants!

[Stefan-A]

It sort of makes sense, it's easier to improve ventilation than to reduce it. Some of the species that are kept, require very high levels of humidity, right?

[CrazyHedgehog]

you can buy a nearly 9 foot tall resin tyranus saurus rex from these people!!!:D oh I could have fun with that!

[drache]

I looked at that T-Rex and it launched me into an internet odyssee trying to find an image of the giant iguana that used to sit on top of the Lone Star Cafe (now long extinct - both)
I cannot believe there isn't a single image of it in the internet
now I'm gonna have to look through my old negs and call my surviving friends from that era (all photographers)

I did
it was the first one that came up
and there's the Lone Star Cafe building
with some ugly blue tarp fence on the roof
and that tiny B&W pic does not in the least convey the magnificence of the creature
the Iguana on the roof was taken down long long before that pic was taken - before it even stopped being the Lone Star
it was a fierce battle between citizens who felt a giant iguana to be an eye-sore and those of us who loved the monster and felt proud to be living in a neighborhood that had such an animal of distinction
we lost and the iguana was removed
then we won and it came back with a broken tail and a few other nicks
then we lost again and it was removed
eventually it disappeared
sadly
how could they . . .

i have had no problem with my visions and animal plastics cages though they are quite pricey but worth it in my eyes

[RZL36]

I agree with garterninja. They are great. I got my first one recently (6 months) and I am just gonna use them from now on. However, "pricey" is a massive understatement. You can stack them, they look great and clean even better. Save your pesoes kiddies.
