Alright, So I've been hunting around for a decent sized arboreal cage for my Dipsadoboa pair. And most arboreal caging was designed with boids in mind, not so much little african colubrids. So, Since I already have some of their racks and terrestrial caging, I decided to try the A10 model for arboreal. Got it shipped on time, arrived today and I just finished setting it up and already, I am totally stoked about it. Pics of the set-up to follow.

Just out of the box

Had a radiant heat panel drop-shipped from reptile basics, AP installed it.

Just finished sealing it, so I'll wait until it dries to move the new owners in

I really dig it, so far. I'll post a few more pics once it dries and I get it furnished...... Oh and dimensions are 2 x 2 x 3. :yessir:

Cheers,

So you have to seal the APs?

Yep. But it takes all of 5 minutes and it's then water tight. Cages are shipped broken down (conveniently) and it kind of goes with the territory....

great looking cage i like the black alot i have visions and i have to say im a fan in some ways and im not a fan in some ways. and ithen i have my racks out of white melamine but i wish they where black but the ap's look really nice i dont lie the door that opens all at once but thats cuz white i would put in that cage are gtp's and that would mean my whole bodys in strike distance when im changing water no thank you haha but great looking cages jane o jungle lets see furnished with critters inside ?

Very Nice

And props on the ghetto totally bush league!!!

Now be sure to post picts after the Clampett's move. :wamma:

Good score Kat! Cant wait to see some inhabitant pics!

PINK string???:D I think the new house rocks. :wamma:

Nice brand new cage, looks to be a big improvement over the QT one.

That first cage is so Bush-League I love it! :D

Quite a step up. I have an AP cage and I dig it. Thats a nice set up with the heat panel and light. Looks really good.

beauty! never seen an AP cage assembled from scratch-looks like it really is as easy as advertised...:cheers:

A guy on another forum got these cages from animal Plastics. Ghi Reptiles was working with Ap to build a better cage for his amazons. I like the looks of these. Of course in Florida we can get away with the screen tops and just lights. I would love to see a wall of these with GTPhttp://farm4.static.flickr.com/3522/3221517164_56f3ac4bea.jpg

That cage looks really nice kat. Can you post a shot of what the sealed inside looks like when you post the updated shots? I like the RHP as well.

Those cages look great!

That cage is sweet!

Sweet looking cages

So how long was the wait for delivery Kat?

Great looking cage Kat!! Can't wait for the updates.

Nice looking cage. I'm going to have to take a look at them a little closer, I have a few old Matrix arboreal cages that are in need of replacement and that looks like it may be a better alternative to building new ones.

Excuse my non-professional sealing, but this is what the sealed seams look like. I generally do the bottom and about 1/3 of the way up the inside corners for a nice watertight seal....

Delivery on this guy was ~3 weeks and of course, it was held up while I got the heat panel drop shipped to AP.... I just ordered a few more terrestrials and I believe the current wait is around 4 weeks. Well worth it.

Nice looking setup! I need to get a few AP cages when I have the money, they look very nice.

Cheers!

Sweet enclosure

Alright, So I got the new digs half finished (still need to pick up some more fake vinery), and my spunky girl is moved in and testing the place for weakness. She's in shed at the moment, so she'd not as bright as she normally is, but you get the idea..... I'm also going to have to change the light in the cage as the yellow hue is driving me nuts trying to get a decent pic....

Ali is great, she helped me with sorting out the Sterilite tubs replacements. She even invited me down to pick my rack up when it's done, I can't wait to see their operation. :rockon:

very nice
