what would you be willing to pay?

Even if you can make the best enclosure out there, if you're charging more than $500 for a 4x2x2 no one will buy them especially if the bigger ones go up to $1000. There's no way you'd even be competition to the other plastic cages with very high prices.

Unless mine do something theirs do not.
Gimme a few weeks to get a prototype built and I will pose the same question.

What would you be able to do that others can not? You can get a 4x2x2 from most plastic caging retailers fully set up for less than $500.

Well seeing as that is the million dollar question so to speak you will have to wait to see my prototype. I am not to good at using solidworks so I will be a few weeks. Like I have said this will be the best cage you can buy. It might be too expensive to market but thats why I asked. If I can make it for cheap enouhh to make a proffit then I am going into buisness. If not I am making a few fir ny snakes and thats it.

I would still sell them, but I would only make like 5-10 and see if they sell.

Well, it's been almost 2 months since this post... Any prototypes yet?? =D

I'm extremely interested to hear about these... Especially if they're made from HDPE like the Pro-Line Cages.

I'm not sure bit I have seen many posts where the manufacturer wouldn't fix problems.

I actually know a company in Michigan that sells a two 6'x2'x2' stacked for $3800. All of their cages run for over $1000 and they are still in business. I'll post a pic of one I have.

This I need to see. I looked for vivs like that and found nothing.
Mine will be considerably cheaper
