neodesha review
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I've just purchased my first neodesha cage, and I am very happy with it so far. Since I don't keep hots yet, and my own collection allready has adequite caging, I will use it for display purposes in shows and such for the moment. I like it for the following reasons.
1) utterly escape proof. There is virtually no way that the occupant will escape is locked correctly.
2)Less stress on animals. with three sides blocked off, there is less movement in the snakes visin, thereby less stress.
3) easy cleaning. with smooth, rounded edges, this cage isn't a pain to get into the cracks like terrariums.
4) looks nice. These are THE cage cage to use when displaying your herps. they look good, aren't very stressful, and are safe for public viewing when dispaying hot herps.
5)good options. neodesha gives you good options of ventalation, heat source, and lighting.

Neodesha Cages are without a doubt the best cages you can buy.

I've been using NP cages for over a year now, and I love them. NP's are escape proof except for maybe the very smallest newborns, (I use Rubbermaid Containers for babies). NP's are lightweight, easy to clean, and look great.
I prefer the tempered glass doors myself. You can still put small locks through the holes that come on the cage. I keep my hotroom locked, and it is escape proof, so I don't feel I need to lock each cage with a padlock. I do use the pins that come with the NP cages to secure the doors.
The tempered glass is also easier to clean. Plexiglass will cloud if you use normal glass cleaners, and will get scratched little by little even when the using the best cloth & tap water.
The tempered glass is also plenty strong as far as snakes striking it. I have a 4 1/2' long female B. g. rhinoceros who struck at me while in a 3' NP cage, while I was cleaning her normal cage. I thought she was coming through the glass, but it held up just fine. That was my only worry.
As of this writing I have 16 - 2' cages, 8 - 3' cages, and 2 - 4' cages. I'll probably have twice that many by years end.
I also have a 6' x 3' Vision cage, that was given to me by someone that owed me money. While it's a nice cage, I still prefer the NP cages. The Vision cages don't allow light in like the NP cages, and it's a pain to clean the back of this particular cage, because it's only 18" high and 36" deep.

Really nice cages

I have 3 - 36" NP cages for my hots and 1 - 72" cage for my 12' Burmese Python. I am very happy with all of them. The 36" standard cages are especially nice for venomous snakes for several reasons: 1) They're cheap - about $80 with shipping included for standard cages with a plexiglass* sliding door 2) Very easy to clean/disinfect/maintain because they have no corners or crevaces that are hard to get at 3) Strong and totally escape proof 4) Many options available 5) At about 36" x 18", these cages will comfortably house most adult venomous species except for the large active elapids and the very large viperids 6) lockable* 7) can be stacked in racks or on shelves.
* The standard NP cages come with tempered glass sliding doors. I prefer plexiglass with hots so that I can drill a hole in the edge of the plexiglass door and through the lip of the cage and place a pad lock on each cage for proper security. Also, I have accidentally broken 2 tempered glass doors, and it is an explosive experience! The glass is very strong, and does not scratch, but if it's struck on the edge by something hard or is dropped, it explodes into a million tiny pieces. There's no warning. Plexiglass flexes before it breaks and I just think it's safer for this reason when housing venomous snakes.
I have 3 more 36" cages on order right now for my venomous. These are the absolute best hot snake cages for the money.
