Anyone use these?, if so what do you think of them?. They look like they would be a nice cage for corns,leos,etc..

They're pretty expensive for being the same size as a 20 long, and are pretty much the same except the front open. I wouldn't bother with them, but then again, I don't have anything to put in something that size that isn't already in a rack or wouldn't be fine in an actual 20 long.

I like the fact that they seem to have a closed top and small vents on the side. That would help them hold some humidity and Im a big humidity fan. So they got a standard 20 long beat in that department. Unless you make your own top of course.

Ive never used one but with their knock down design I have a feeling they would be flimsy. Just a hunch.

I cant stand sliding doors. They make me nuts. If you're gonna have doors I much prefer the doors swing out.

For the price Id just assume get a 20 long. Yeah, I know they dont stack but if you're gonna buy a bunch of those things and stack'em why not spend a little more and get some top notch cages from Animal Plastics or Reptile Basics? Or, for that matter, a rack system. Not to be a jerk but the idea of stacking knock down glass cages just doesnt sit well with me ya know what I mean?

For corns or leos I would rather have something like this:

Well i am with V in the aspect of the sliding doors.To much that can get jammed in there if your using substrate.
For a few Leo's i really dont see that they would be to much of a problem (as long as you dont have a colony).Plus there generally kept on paper towel so no substrate getting stuck in the track.
But as said about a million times before Jason.I am a big fan of Dougs cages,and he will customize them to your needs.
But thats just what has worked for me,and if aint broke dont fix it.

I agree.. The barrs cages are nice for the price. I've seen some of the visionariums at a couple exotic shops and they are flimsy. They've got screen tops so, they don't really hold much humidity unless it is stacked, but then you still got the top one with the top exposed. Really not worth the money at all. Especially if you need it shipped. For that price I'd much rather go with herpcages, animal plastics or one of the other cage makers.

Theyre very sturdy cages when put together. They would be good for leos, and... thats about it.

I hate the things though. had em for a bit, they were OK for a time... but i use substrate, and they are horrible for use with substrate!
