| I was wondering if anyone has used/heard anything about them. I'm looking into getting 3 or 4 for my beardie, uro, python and soon to be skink. I like them becasue they look nice (will be in my office) and they look space efficient (has areas for heating/lighting/misting elements, locking glass doors etc. They are on sale right now for 299.00 each (36" x 24" x 24").
Is there something better??? | |

| These do look really nice. I am interested in picking up 3-8 of the 48''x18''x24'' cages. Send me a PM or email if you are interested in combining orders and see if we can't qualify for wholesale pricing. | |

| My friend keeps a bearded dragon in one. I babysat the bearded dragon in one of these. These are very nice cages. Very well built, but bulky. They do make for very nice display cages. | |

| They are certainly very attractive! I do not think any of my current pets would work in these cages, though, as most of my animals are nocturnal and make it their business to hide all day. If I bought a "showcase" cage, I would definitely be buying a "showcase" animal to go with it! I really would like to see people's "showcase" setups if you have them! | |

| Looks great! That would be something I'd consider to put in our "chill room" to display something awesome. | |

Nevermind. Turns out, they do not offer large order discounts or even combine shipping costs. | |

| I've been checking them out for a while and have this dream of cutting holes in a wall and recessing them into the wall so they are flush. | |

| They look pretty but I find myself wondering how difficult they might be to build.
I feel like some craftsmanship and some crown molding might yield something comparable in quality, customized in design, and half the price. | |

| I believe they sell the glass tracks (tracts?) at home depot along with the glass. I've thought about making them out of melamine before, some stores (Lowes) keep the colored or faux wood melamine. It's finishing the cut ends that was the hard part and why I gave the idea up. | |

| Nick, if you are going to use melamine, use glass instead. It's just as heavy, depending on how big you want the cage and you can put water in it and clean it with bleach.
I like the cages in the op, but the shipping is too much on the larger cages. | |

I am really interested in them, so I just wanted to see what everyone says, so I guess they are ok. I am thinking about getting some of the black granite ones in a few weeks. I will post pics when I get them set up | |

They also make a plastic strip that finishes the end cut. But you have to router out a RECIVING cut to install it. It's shaped like a T | |
