|
|
Hi all.
As my neverending search for the perfect housing for my snakes continues, I am looking for some advice.
I want all my snakes to be housed in a rack STYLE system, but I want to be able to see them much better.
SO.
I am after some vivariums like these. I know boaphileplastics.com make them, as do others in the US.
I'm not necessarily looking for ripoffs, but the Boaphile ones are PRICEY and the shipping would be MAD so its just not worth importing. I have spoken to them about this, its just not worth it.
Do any of you know of any way I could have something like this made in the UK?
Have any of you dont anything similar? I know there are plastic workers lurking! A localish reptile shop had a similar one in for their use. They said they can get me one but the cost would be just under 2 Grand. I mean COME ON!
Just after suggestions really.
Many Thanks

Tyhanks for the suggestions, I have seen them and even spoke to the guy that makes them. They are rediculously overpriced.
The smallest one which is TINY is £199!
When I spoke to them, thy told me about material costs, how much the hinges are, the locks etc etc
No matter how good the quality, for the sizes I would need I would be looking at £300+ PER VIV.
I dont think so
