Anyone ever used this cage???

Hello, has anyone ever used this cage-
http://www.lllreptile.com/products/866-260-gallon-basic-reptarium

If so, is it durable? Does it seems like it will last a long time? Could it be used as a permanent cage? Any thoughts are welcome.

Also I am looking for a water proof cage, I would like it yo be around 29 x 29 x 72, it doesn't have to be exactly that it can be bigger or a little smaller, if u know of 1 please send me a link. Thanks!!!

I have not used that particular cage, however I know that it is a plastic mesh and PVC enclosure with a zipper closure. I have seen a number of posts about lights melting the mesh and rips in the mesh. Unfortunately, I do not know of any pre-built enclosures the size you are looking for. The closest I know of is the LLL 24x24x48 cage with the extension making it 24x24x72. Here are links to both of the products/

crickets eat through the mesh good for a outside sun cage

Ok thanks guys. I'm not sure what kind of cage to get. I really want a big cage for him, the cage I have now will not work much longer, it's not water proof :/ I was given wrong information by Petsmart so we had to build him a screened cage in a hurry, it is really big but not water proof and my husband doesn't have time to build another. How can I water proof the wood on his cage without bad fumes for him? If I can't I'll just have to get the biggest I can find.. I just want him to be healthy and happy.

Your temp cage looks pretty good other than it not being sealed. Unfortunately there really is no way to seal it now without having somewhere else to put him for a few days while it dries and the fumes go away. I think it will be cheaper for you to build one yourself than to buy one pre-built (if you can find one).

I used one of those cages before I got my Canvas cage for Chumley - It makes a good outdoor cage - but I wasn't happy with it

This is his new cage

I had it built to the size I wanted - and it came so I can turn it into 2 cages in the future - Nick was great to work with
It looks a lot better now as I've improved the plants and hidden away the wires

Ok. Thanks so much for your help!!!

Thanks so much for ur help!! I do like that a lot, I will definitely go check it out. If u don't mind me asking what was the price on it?

It was a double cage so it was the price of two large -around two hundred - the base I got at Overstock which was about the same (I got it at 40% off) he was going to include two extra sides in case I wanted to separate them but I don't have the storage space. Send an e-mail to Nick or Kyle they will work with you to get you what you need - They did a smaller one for me also -

There are cage extenders made. You can get two breeder cages and extend the height to 6' or 8', your choice. You could also have Nick @ Canvas Chams make you something special. If you need more info, please pm me for specifics.

Thanks again for your help I've had no luck in finding a cage in the sizes I want. So thanks so much for the info, I'm definitely going to email him.
