Thinking cage size will be 4x2x2, for a baby leopard I am getting in around 8 weeks.
For people who have ordered PVC cages, I am wondering what add ons I should order (if any) to come installed in the enclosure. Does it make sense to order the cage to come installed with an Incandescent Light Fixture, and a Zoomed T5 HO Florescent Fixture with a bulb? (though I may ask for no bulb so I can use my own). I'd imagine it wouldn't look nearly as clean if I tried to install these into the cage myself, or if I just should not get any of these and use my own fixtures.
Also, should I get a 40W or 80W heat panel installed with my order or just install like my own CHE using my own fixture instead? Somebody told me that radiant panels are more expensive but not as desiccating as a CHE.
Lastly, sliding doors or hinged? Sliding doors would seem to have a bit of a gap b/w them which would let out heat and humidity more than hinged, but look nicer than hinged though that's not a big deal since function is more important.
