Stacked

Have you notified the company of the issues with the cages?

thats a good rack (if u fixed it)(no innuendo intended)

You know, the term "stacked" means more or less the same thing. You could say that I beat you to the pun.

Wow, those are nearly identical to vision cages produced here in the US- I suppose that's where they got their "idea" from.

Yeah, I noticed it's indeed identical to the V300 Vision cage.

It's not even funny, is this company selling Vision cages that were rejected by Vision's quality control?

No, but I will.

We are not amused.

So, earlier today I unpacked the last doors and guess what I found. One of the doors had some clear tape stuck to it. And when I say "some", I mean it was stretched straight across the entire pane. Well, after about 10 minutes of scratching off tiny pieces of tape (well of course it wouldn't come off in one piece), I ended up with a piece of glass with a 5 cm (48 mm to be honest) wide trail of adhesive running across it. So, until I can get my hands on a suitable solvent for removing the adhesive, that door is useless. Well, that door will go nicely with one of the enclosures, because as I found out about 10 minutes after I gave up on the glass door, the plastic around the front was warped to the point where you can't even shut the door without using force.

Jeez you guys, I know it's easy for you to think I'm just saying it, but I actually caught that very early in the thread "stacked, rack... haha" I just kept quiet about it 'cause I didn't want to sound like an as. I do that enough without even trying. Thanks for sounding like one for me... lol..just kidding.

I actually walked into a local reptile shop not long ago and they had a locked room with a window that the public could see through, and inside I could see some very nice rack setups. Just for fun I exclaimed in front of several people "Oh wow, check out that rack!" People actually turned and looked at me. A few guys snickered.

But seriously, sounds like the flaws with this product are downright horrible. I don't care what kind of discount one gets, when it comes to our snakes, lousy housing just won't cut it.

Hopefully Stefan, you'll be able to work on these and make them adequate. Without the flaws, I'd say these are pretty darn cool. I could go for something like that. Much more desirable than a traditional drawer rack imho.

Yeah, apparently they come "from China". No wonder they didn't mention any brands or manufacturers, it looks like the enclosures are Vision knock-offs.

Anyway, I glued a few pieces of 2 mm thick aluminium to the doors. Got the space between the doors down to a little over 3 mm. Should be enough.

I've dealt with sliding door front enclosures before and always had issues with them such as the gap between panels, and also stuff getting in the tracks. I guess that's why I'm a bit turned off to them. I did go and visit Redspot (Nate) and he had some really nice enclosures similar to that, but the doors swung open and there was a good 3 inch lip at the bottom. Anyway, these were very nice enclosures, very expensive too, but they did look somewhat similar to yours.

He had small ones with garters all the way up to huge one's with full grown cribbo's in them.

I have a strong dislike of swinging doors, unless it's in a top-access enclosure. I've had enough problems with the ones I've used.

I did have plans for doors for one of my earlier enclosures, that could both swing and slide and that would seal the gap to practically nothing.

Sounds like you've solved your problem, right? I get the feeling your not exactly happy with your fix or am I reading it wrong.
