Thanks, both of you. I’m going to do some more research and decide to either build a cage or buy the 8’ AP cage, most likely the latter. Yes, those sliding glass doors :( It’s my only complaint about AP.
Thanks. I think you’re right Bearded. AP has an 8X3X2 for $675. Shipping to AZ is $268, so roughly $950. They’ll make it 3’ high for the price of $900, plus the same shipping. I think I’d rather pay $1150 for that than spend $500 building a cage that I don’t love.
I’d like to build a PVC cage for my tegu, but I cannot find any PVC boards. Home Depot has them on their website, but they’re out of stock with no ETA. I have Animal Plastics cages for my snakes and I love them. I can’t fathom the weight of an 8’ melamine cage, but I just can’t find any PVC...
1. Any idea where to purchase sheets of PVC?
2. Are you saying that AP will customize the substrate barrier, or that I can get that by building it myself?
Thanks.
That’s a good point. I’ll give it some thought, but I really want something manageable in weight. I checked on shipping for the 8 footer and it’s $268, so it’s about $1000, all in. I’m not handy, either, so the prospect of spending $500 building a cage that weighs a ton and isn’t well built...
I was considering this same cage. I love AP cages for my snakes. They're super lightweight, hold humidity well, and are easy to clean. I've been on here looking at the cages that others have made. I even spent some time roaming Lowes and just couldn't get over how heavy a big wood cage would be...
