Animal Plastics T-10
Received my Animal Plastics T-10 cage for my son's ball python the other day. Ordered on Nov 7th, received on Feb 14th, pretty much right on target with the estimated ship date when ordered.
I went with glass doors, locks, LED lighting, Herpstat 2 and I had Bob from Pro Products ship them a RHP (don't recall the size, went with one size up from what Bob recommended. It's massive!).
I keep my home in the low 70's and it's been locked into whatever temperature I set the Herpstat to without issue. Humidity is a bit high as I just put in two bags of fresh Forrest Floor but I've been opening the door to rearrange so that should help it dissipate.
Extremely impressed with this Animal Plastics cage, the build quality is fantastic as were the instructions and I was blown away by the packaging and how fast it got to me once it left their doors. Had it fully assembled in less than 45 minutes and gave the silicon four days to cure and for the fumes to air out.
I've loaded it up with 6 plastic commercial hides of various sizes, silk/plastic flora and some cork bark flats and tubes (which I'll keep an eye on for bacteria..) and a water dish on both the "hot" and "cool" side. Monitoring temps and humidity with a pair of Accurites. If I were a snake kept in captivity, I'd want to live here.
While the Herpstat 2 worked great when I needed both a CHE and a heat mat in the glass tank I was previously using, I could have went with the Herpstat 1 for this one. It has the option to control the light cycle for you, I just wish it had an instant on/off button as well. So rather than use that, I've just got the LED plugged into a light switch. The light is only turned on when viewing, feeding or cleaning and it's nice and bright - but unfortunately not dimmable. Once we rearrange the room, I'll try to get the leopard gecko's tank closer so I can use the other output to control the CHE heating that.
To sum it all up, very satisfied with my purchase - Ali from Animal Plastics was an absolute pleasure to work with, keeping me updated with the latest status and Bob at Pro Products was incredibly helpful
