I use 16 of the 8ft models to house large constrictors and being able to work on one end at a time is awsome . thoes of you who don't think they're good cages haven't put them to their fullest use .

door can be hard to slide

I used these a lot and overall did not like them. The sliding glass can be very hard to move, especially in a large cage with a large piece of glass. Also, I don't like that they are not very deep. The snakes can feel trapped in these when you service the cage because the sloping glass front makes it seem that you are looming over them. With an easily stressed animal I found it best to remove it from the cage before cleaning. Again, the sticking door can make it hard to close as well. Overall I do not like these cages.

Great cages!

These cages are lightweight and very snake-proof.
The tempered glass is quite strong and they are easy to lock.
The slanted design makes them a bit of a space hog but they are easy to clean and disinfect (even WITH the litterdam).
We used a neodesha to display an Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake at the Fitzgerald Wild Chicken Festival (2003) and everyone that came by loved it. It was one of the best displays there as people could easily see into it and it was secure. Now we have a couple of our own (neodesha cages) at home.
I love them and look forward to acquiring more.

i work at a nature center in San Dimas, CA. we have one 36" NP cage used to transport one of our snakes for outreaches. (when we take our animals to schools, churches, etc. for a presentation) it works great, it has held 5.5' and 3.0' Pituophis cantifer annectens, 8"-3.5' Lampropeltis zonata multicincta, 4-4.5' L. Getulus Californiae, and one western toad. they work well for transportation, but not for long term caging (lost a valuble P. c. deserticola)
I reccomend these cages.

I originally wanted the hinged plexiglass doors, but the order was placed by my boss for the tempered, sliding glass doors. The plastic lip around the front makes it impossible to drain all of the water out except through the screened vents which catch any debris left behind. I had dividers put into several of the 36" tanks that I have and have found that the silicone doesn't seal completely in some places and snakes are tempted to try to slither through. With the glass doors and dividers some smaller snakes can go between the glass and divider to reach the other side. Only the sliding locks that Neodesha sold would fit, Home Depot's weren't good enough. They do seem to supply the security that rattlesnakes require not to continually strike at the glass if you add a large rock for them to get behind. The depth can be a problem if you are trying to take one out for some reason only using a hook. My volunteers tend to forget to clean under the front rim where you can't see. It is a lot lighter than a glass aquarium or wooden cage. The screen over the vents does not meet the requirements of our Wildlife department for presenting venomous reptiles to the public which is two screens separated by 3/4". Luckily I keep them behiind a wall made of T1-11 and glass which seems to satisfy them. I have used these for one year now after using various sizes of glass aquariums with lids that were custom made with hinges, locks and the required screening that had to be removed with a drill each time I needed to clean them. I have not figured out exactly how to heat them other than lighting from above with my budget constraints. All of this is done at a State Park Nature Center. I have been looking for other options tankwise but am not allowed to spend any money. Other naturalists are using my experiences with this tank to try and find a better cage at a reasonable price.

These are great cages, esp. for venomous snakes. They are easy to clean, escape proof, versatile (options), and fairly sturdy. I just need to figure out a cheaper alternative to their rack systems.
