plastic vivs

[jaysnakeman]

does anyone use boaphile vivs on here?

[Morelia Matt]

we wish! Boaphiles dont ship to the UK, you may find some if you look hard enough (let us know if you do by the way) Rhino vivs look alot like Boaphiles though.

Someone on the livefoods forum enquired about shipping boaphiles to the UK but found the costs too prohibitive. I have no idea what she was actually quoted though Im afraid.

[Morelia Matt]

they didnt even get back to me when i enquired, i got an automated email with a phone number but im not ringing an American line? $$$$$$$$ Rhino vivs may be your best bet until these new vivs come along... if, they come along?

What are the advantages of plastic vivs over wood and vice versa then?

[gaz]

i run 20+vision cages and while they are quite nifty they aint perfect,if you dont have heated rooms they and any plastic cages can be a pain to heat as plastic is none too good at retaining heat,for humidity they need a bit of modification but thereafter work fine

yeah i'm def a fan of vision and herp tek still. a little expensive but it's just good the way everything is hidden away. so theres no electrics in the tank. i like!

[exoticsandtropics]

forgot to say that penines are good for keeping larger amphibs. they hold the humidity very well

Well I have Herpteks and Rhino vivs and at a push I prefer the Rhino vivs as the Herteks have the intrusion of the bulb grill etc. In fact I am about to order enuff to cover a wall of my snakeroom. What ppl dont seem to get is that this is ripoff England and things cost double what they do in the USA materials wise, I costed building the vivs myself and cant figure how Alan at Rhino is doing them so cheap try buy a sheet of the plastic he uses, then say they are expensive. At the end of the day you get what you pay for.

Hi Jonathan (pythonmorphs)
Thanks for you posetive input.Yes as you quite rightly explained - the price of the material is far mor expensive in the U.K than the U.S just like our beloved pythons and Boas are. RHINO ViVs are trying to hold there prices as best we can, but to be honest there is very little profit margin for us right now. Quality hinges and locks all add to the expense.
I am in the process of launching a new web site (should be up and running approx 4 weeks and I will have a new price list. Until then if others would like have a look at RHINO ViVs visit RHINO VIVS | The Ultimate Vivarium and PictureTrail. Also I will be at the Lancashire and reptile exotic pet show May 27th also - at the Houten show, and the Hamm show. I have just this morning had a large order picked up 4 1200 vivs single door and 4 1500 vivs double door. even if I say so myself -they looked fantastic!. (I will send you a image of them Jonathan)
PS Hope your breeding goes well!
Alan
