    I work for a fibre glass company and my boss wants to expand the business to make other more things. I was thinking of giving him the idea to make tanks for reptiles. Fibre glass is a great material for them. They keep the heat in, it ventilates, durable, cheap, basically a great material. But before I tell him I need to know if they would to well on the market. If you were offered one would you buy it??????

    I would also consider them... depending on the price.
    I am in the process of designing some cages.....
    I need to build a 4'x2'x2', a 4'x4'x2', and another that has at least 10SF of space. ( I can not decide on what size to build the last cage... 5x2x2 or 4x3x2)

    Take a look at these sties for some ideas for you and your boss..... http://www.boaphileplastics.com
    http://www.herpcages.com
    http://www.customcages.com
    http://www.cagesbydesign.com

    Something that might get you some more posts..... work up an approximate cage price for a common size like 3x2x2 or 4x2x2 and include that with your post. You might want to post on http://www.reptilehaven.net and http://www.redtailboas.com as well.

    I have just thought of something, Nathan we live in the UK and most of the people on here live in the USA. If they wanted tanks made on a regular basis then you would have to see if Dick will be willing to ship the tanks out to them. If any of you out there would like then on a regular basis. mail me or reply here and I will see if it can be sorted. :)
    I will take your measurements Stomyva and I will ask Dick how much they would cost for you and put it up.

    :) Hi need a new tank for my rescued male Goliath. Unfortunately, his prior owners had him in what appears to be an aquarium. It is tall, but not long. If your prices are right I would buy one.

    Tasha I know where we are and where everyone else is but they can be shipped over to customers. I was thinking of maybe asking Axe if he would like to sell them in the online shop, if he thinks the price is right. But I don't know how to get hold of him. Can anyone help me with that???

    Well, I can't put other products on the online store. I basically send my designs to them, and they create the products. So, I'm limited to the products they offer.

    If you want to get hold of me, you can drop me a line at admin@reptilerooms.com.

    That'll come straight to me. :)

    Thanks Axe. Does anybody know anyone that would be interested in a regular supply? If you do please let me know. My boss is really interested in doing them but will only do it for a regular supply.

    Nathan.... what is it that you are considering as a "regular supply" I have contacts at several local shops and there are several other members here that do as well. Get us some inside info and we may be able to do some marketing for your boss.
    Some of the things that I would need to know.....
    Approx pricing for common sizes.
    Approx shipping costs. (At a minimum approx weights so I can get shipping costs.)
