I think that depends on who you live with. The snake can not get out the sliding glass doors. However someone could easily open them and get him out that you may not want to.

Also call up Ali and order (if you go with AP), somehow the shipping was much cheaper when I called than when I put it together in my cart!

I have locks on all of my Animal
Plastics enclosures, not necessarily to keep the snakes from getting out but more to keep others from getting in when I'm not there

The pictures in this post are of a T12 (4x2x2) but the T8 is exactly the same as the T12 just 1 foot shorter.

This cages configuration:

Sliding glass doors

Door lock

Floressent light

2x 8.5" circle screens

11" flexwatt

I also drilled holes for and mounted a thermometer

I have more and I can take more if you want and as I said before I can answer any questions you have.

I already pm'd him these pictures of mine but I will post them here for others to see.

These were taken at 2 different times, once when I first set it up. And today(the ones with more deco) both my my crappy ipad2 camera. My girlfriends not here with her nice digi.

Also sorry for the crappy deco, he didn't like how we laid out the fake vines so he has managed to move them around the cage haha.

I know the feeling welcome to the club

48 x 24 x 12 because your snake is going to grow over time and will be living in that cage for a very long time.

My BP is in a 72 x 18 x 17 ,I can do a heat gradaient easily with these deminsions and she is very comfortable in this cage.

Thanx guys for all the responses :) I just ordered the T8(48x24x12) with 2 circle screen cutouts, a Fluorescent fixture and flexwatt heating. Woohoo! Although I need to call them tomorrow and add a lock to my order because I forgot how crafty my cats can be :colbert: I can't wait to get it and start setting it up.

Just to make sure you know the flexwatt will need to be regulated by a thermostat.
