is housing them when they get older and bigger very difficult and expensive to maintain? i see that you probably have to build a cage or buy one of those 500$ cages but wouldnt that be hard to heat and maintain?

Housing them isnt hard as long as you plan ahead and like you said either build a cage or buy one. Heating can be a little harder mainly because of the size, but heating my big suri male when I had him wasnt that hard.
