I noticed a box back at Swanee's Exotics (I think... I swear it was somewhere on the opposite wall from the table?) but didn't look at it very closely.  Come to think of it, is that the cage he had the pygmy chams in?  If that was the same cage, it did have a very clean (not as in dirty, just the feel an lines of it!) appearance.  Does the door lock magnetically, too?  I'd be worried the magnetic force could accidently catch a foot or tail if it got close enough to the frame....

PS:  I did try to download the specs to answer the question myself,  but my computer got stuck!

ACK!  I know you got NEW ones ( Tongue) .... what I meant is was that pygmy cham cage an Instacage or another type?

What are you keeping in them right now?  It seems like it would have to be misted several times per day to keep any humidity going on?

I have to know where I can get one of these Lance, btw dcarter from the repashy forums long time no see.  The all screen part doesn't bother me at all if you are providing water bowls and misting, but how is the door held shut without it being magnetized?

I have 2 large screen enclosures (24x24x36) that I keep my female cresteds in that I think are great.  I try to mist them 2x per day - but most often they get misted at night with the rest of my tanks.  I've never had any issues with shedding or anything with them, I do supply a water dish though.

I'm somewhat confused, as I have never seen these cages before. What part of them is magnetic??
