Boaphile vs. Animal Plastics

Who prefers what? Im looking around and it seems Animal Plastics may be a little cheaper and look just as good and come in bigger sizes. Are APs stackable like boaphiles or will one not support the weight of more above it?

Re: Boaphile vs. Animal Plastics

I love my Boaphiles. They are wonderful. I love the stacking pins. They line up perfectly and look terrific.

Re: Boaphile vs. Animal Plastics

I've never owned a boaphile. I'm sure they are great cages. I really like mt AP cages though.

Re: Boaphile vs. Animal Plastics

Boaphile Plastics cages are made of plastic.

Boaphile Plastics!!! The FIRST source of nearly every plastic cage/rack innovation in existence!

So if you have wooden cages, they are not boaphiles.

Incidentally, what kind of plastic enclosure do you have that you like the wood one better? Everyone I have ever talked to that has both loves almost Any of the better plastic cages.

Re: Boaphile vs. Animal Plastics

I use a few different kinds. I remember the first time I saw Boaphiles. I think what I said was "Not bad, but I wouldn't pay for them". I just don't like the designs. If someone gave me a stack, then I would try them out next to my Jungle Habitats (same material, same thickness). I like Animal Plastics and would definitely buy some. They are thicker material and just seem beefier. They also have nice options and have a good turn over time. There are several brands out there that I would like to try.

While most aspects of cages are fairly universal, I think that alot of it also comes down to what type of animal you are housing as well.
