It might need replacing every 8 - 10 years, but for the price, it's still more cost effective than buying something premade. Besides, I have NOT found a commercially made enclosure that will house adequately (IMO) any snake larger than 10 feet.

I've seen the Sentecs, and like I said, I wouldn't put anything larger than 10 feet into their largest offering...

Grits: That's one beautiful burm man!! :gj:

i didnt suggest neos cause as far as i know they where discontinued and then reopened by someone else so i wasnt sure of quality or avalabilty.. i hear the old ones where the best of their time, cept for the looks department lol dont really find em very eye appealing or atleast not like ap or vision

The 8ft looks great imo. They arnt a slant front, look like a vision with more visibility. And I LIKE the slant front look :rofl: the new ones are used by the SD zoo, so they can't be THAT bad :confused:

Ah, the Neodeshas. Haven't seen them in years... I don't think they came in a 4 foot wide enclosure. All these premade enclosures may have a nice length but they are way too narrow, and the height sucks as well (especially if you're keeping retics). You have to be 8x4 to put anything bigger than 10 foot in my opinion. And anything over 15 feet you need bigger than that...

If you're of the opinion that big snakes "don't move", then leave your enclosure open overnight... ;)

Hi I just want to comment on the neos. I ordered one about 8 months ago from the new company. I dont have a giant snake. I have a boa and a ball. But I just want to say, That it was shipped the same day it was ordered and I had it in 4 days. I was shocked at how fast I got it. I dont know if they make a size for what you need but I have a 3 ft cage for my ball and I am going to order a 4ft cage for my boa.. I am very happy with the quality. I love the sliding glass door

Thats because most idiot breeders purposely stunt the growth of Male Burms as soon as they start producing sperm plugs just to save space for there overweight Females for the future :mad:
