AP Cages

Anyone using an Animal Plastics Cage?

I am looking into their "The Carpet Cage" which is 36Lx24Wx15T it has a built in basking shelf and I can customize the vents, doors, and add an 18" T8 fixture inside to use for UV. I currently have a 40B and am looking for something a little bigger, lighter weight, and easier to access than an aquarium.

i also like the fact I could get the cage built in black which would match my home interior(modern) much better.

I haven't used them but that one seems a little bit low. It's nice and wide but otherwise isn't a big jump from a 40g breeder. It doesn't provide much overhead for lighting and climbing space. I would opt for something taller (at least 24'') and using a T5 fixture rather than a T8 to provide higher quality UVB output.

I'm asking to see if they could cut me a top with an 8" screen hole for my deep dome and a 20" long screen for a HOT5 UV fixture. Lighting would be out side the cage then.

It's honestly about the same height as a 40B, the shelf her tank is on is 48x24 but the biggest I could go is 48×18 to fit due to the sides of the shelf. 48" cages are hella expensive so I figured the 36x24 would give her a lot more room especially with the basking shelf. Now if I could fit a 24" tall cage the lighting would all have to go inside the enclosure; something to think about tho.

Too small IMO, but if I were going to do it I'd definitely go for the 20X12 square screen top and use an external UVB light. It's way too short to mount a light inside IMO.
