    Stacked

    Found this when I came home on Friday.




    Size 75x60x36 cm, bought from M&S Reptilien in Germany. Communication worked fine and the enclosures weren't that expensive.

    The quality was a bit of a disappointment, though. On 4 out of 6 enclosures, the hole plate the manufacturer had attached for ventilation had been bent so much that my males could possibly escape through the gap.

    The gap between the sliding glass doors is so big, that I fear that even my 75cm female wandering garter might escape that way.

    The E-profile tracks vary in length quite a bit. On one enclosure, the gap it left in one end, was almost big enough for me to stick a finger inside the enclosure when the doors were closed. That was easily fixed by just changing which door closes which end.

    The cutting was pretty crude, too and the edges are really wavy. The holes they drilled before cutting the front are visible on most of the enclosures and the purple marker they used to draw the outline of what was to be cut out, still shows in a couple of the enclosures.





    Only two snakes have moved in so far.

    Re: Stacked

    Have you ever bought from this company before?
    Are you able to modify the problems to make them usable?
    At a distance they look like a good setup.
    Best of luck with them.

    Nope, first time, but they have a good reputation. I don't blame the ones who sold them, but whoever designed and manufactured them needs to start doing some quality control. Modifying them is easy, but I'd rather not have to.

    I agree, it was a good deal despite the flaws. But they are still flaws that could have been prevented quite easily.

    I would send them back and save your self having to modify them but that is me. They look good though and if you get the problems solved they should house a lot. Hope to see the little uns in them.

    That wouldn't save me the trouble of sending them back, though. Modifying them is easier and quicker.

    They do look like they are attractive enclosures once you get the bugs ironed out.

    I can understand the slight annoyance of having to modify but I am sure you are handy. These cages look very easy to clean which is a great feature. Good luck with your new setup. So far looks great! ;-)
