I like the DIY cages myself. I heard that boaphile has bad customer service and it takes a while to ship out the products

I like my cages the best.  However they are not cheap, but they will last the lifetime of your reptiles. Here are some links to pictures and info on my cages.
Wood Cages
Acrylic Cages
Price list for some standard wood cage sizes
Take care,
Tom |

yo ozzy,
Porkchops is referring to the practice of building your own cages from readily available materials (Melamine and showersurround being the favs)...Nothing to it if ya got an ounce of talent as far as carpentry is concerned.. 
If ya goto www.arbreptiles.com and click on the cages link he has several tutorials on building your own stuff...Nice guy as well
For my money I gotta go with www.cheapcages.com and www.herpcages.com for value for the money...IMHO anyways |

Best cages...
Well I tend to get brand dependant and have all visions now.
But a good friend makes cages up in North Carolina and does a really good job. Ask Nicole about them..  |

Hey, I would just put in the extra money and get the 6' cages, They aren't a ton more but I bet adrian would really appreciate the space. Just my oppinion. I am gonna do a 6' for Ruby when she hits 5', maybe 6'
