    How do you people house +10 ft long pythons?
    I'm not planning on getting a snake that big anytime soon, but I just wanted to know how you people house a snake that's too large for most cages.

    Vision makes a cage and Freedom Breeder makes a rack that would hold a 10' + snake comfortability. Then theres the home made option. :D

    as i found out.. no one really sells a descent sized cage for a full grown burm or retic.. so the answer is custom cages. most people build them them selfs. it is cheaper, plus you get what you want and make it how you like it to be. most giants need cages that are at least 8feet long. mine is going in a custom enclosure till she's at least 15 feet then im making a really big cage for her. i've heard of some even making a bedroom or an entire shed or even their garage a snake room :P if you go to albinoburmese.com they show how to make a custom wood enclosure for a adult burmese.

    I had a custom 8' x 3' x 2' cage made by a local cage manufacturer here in Southern California, the same who made our other cages:

    OMG thats AWESOME!!! i beg for their number :) like in my post, im making my own which will look awesome, but its stained dark red on the outside and i want something like that. i need 1 cage for a red tail boa and 2 cages for balls and i want it all to match but i dont know of to many that make 1 cage that size for a burm with everything else.
    how does it hold on temps/humidity?
    how much it cost for the burms?

    BTW love the setup so much! i think its better looking then the plastic/metal ones that are bought. love the storage space. Is that a spidey in the small tank o.O

    We use visions until they outgrow them then its on to homemade cages. Our first homemade cage 8x4x4. The cost varies on what you use and where you buy the materials. We house our 13 burms in the same room so its very easy to control the temp and humidity.

    You mean almost everybody who has a +10 snake doesn't buy a cage?
