....are made by NPI, aka Neodesha Plastics, Inc., in Neodesha, Kansas.
We DO NOT sell them, but we sure use the heck out of them! Have for as long as they've been available, over 20 years easily! If you want to buy them, go to: NPICages.com.
The subject of venomous snakes can be a heated one, depending on who you talk to. There are people who have kept them successfull for years, with no adverse publicity. Then there are the newbies in reptiles, who want to start with something "hot" without even knowing basic husbandry. And lastly the drug dealers, and meth makers who keep them for whatever reason (supposed protection???)
Regardless of what category you may or may not fall in, you owe it to those around you that they feel safe as possible from incidents, such as escape, and Neodesha cages will do just that. When used correctly, they are escape-proof. I say "used correctly" because leaving the cage open, is NOT using it correctly. But as far as pushing open the lid, or crawling out a small opening, there are none!
And they are so light weight! Even the biggest, well, maybe not the 96 inch custom (if they make that one any more), is easily picked up by one person. We take ours outside, hose them down, and disinfect, before returning the cage to our snake room, and put the animal back.
One of the presumed drawbacks are that they do not stack. But seriously, do you really stack your cages? We never have, even with flat cages. We also got away from cage complexes, as we feel that individual cages are more sanitary, and there's less likelihood of diseases passing through a common wall.
Another drawback might be the cost, as they are a petroleum-based product, and so are tied in with the cost of oil. But they last for a very, very long time! We have some that are over 20 years old, and although they may have discolored, they work just fine! And I think the snakes are color blind anyway!
