Cages

Has anyone here used tanks from reptile kages?

Not me, haven't heard of them before.

They're in my list, but the price is a bit on the hefty side--presumably because they're PVC.
If I'm reading the page correctly, the 4 x 2 x 2 is only available in black. Not sure how I feel about that for a Beardie.
I have no personal experience with the enclosures or the company.
Double check what's included and what isn't. :wink:

When you say you are not sure how you feel about black, are you just thinking because of looks or for another reason? Also, do you have any other companies your recommend? Preferably that have 5x2x2.

Black absorbs light. Even with bright lights, it would always seem (to me) like darkness/nighttime. That might be more suitable for a nocturnal or subterranean reptile, but not (again, to me) a Beardie. One could paint/cover the interior with something else, but other companies make enclosures with a choice of black or white (or other).

I can only recommend companies based on opinions of others on the forum. I built mine.
Some on my list are:
Animal Plastics (which does offer black or white)
DIY Cages (which has a black exterior/white interior available)
Critter Condo (ditto on Amazon)
Talking Serpents (Plywood kit)
Zen Habitats (Quite a few here have these)

I don't know of any that make a 5 x 2 x 2 standard, though some of the above may offer that size special order. That happens to be the size of mine because I built it out of Baltic/Russian Birch, which comes in 5 x 5 sheets instead of 4 x 8, and I couldn't see wasting the extra foot to build a 4 x 2 x 2.
I also didn't have access to a large-size tile cutter/saw, so I designed the enclosure to be built around five 12"x24" tiles (as the floor). I also added some other amenities.
