Great guys to do business with as well as talk to...

well i have saved the link and will talk to them when i get a chance i have to re-apply for a job or this idea won't be happening until after my vet tech courses

I agree with RKO-Our largest burm at 17 feet is in a 6 foot vision and she has no problems-she stays coiled most of the time and doesn't move a whole lot. She weighs around 150 lbs. She will be getting an 8 foot boamaster cage next year when we retire her from breeding.

well since i would be the only one handling it i think i will opt for a slightly smaller snake

I feel kinda bad for a 17 ft snake in a 6 ft cage... the cage is a third the size of the snake.

"The length of the cage should be - at a minimum - half the length of the snake."---Burmese Care Sheet

But I don't keep giants...

ok now i'm mad the job i thought i had the little :cens0r: hired a transfer petsmart can go to . . . *the number you have dialed has been temporarily disabled* aggravating people in a hiring position

Well I can be pretty sure that NERD doesn't keep their 20' retics in 10' cages. But to make sure, I'll ask.

The first cage she had as an adult was 8ftx4ftx4ft we were told a long time ago they did not need that big of a cage-we watched her and she stayed in one corner of the cage-she did not use all of the cage. We moved her into a 6 foot vision last year for a temporary trial period and she has done great. She has no problems eating or shedding. She does not roam and we get her out often and she has never been a problem. She has a hot side and a cool side-she moves from one side to another-very slowly and not very often. Most of our bigger burms seem more secure and calm when they are not in a big open cage.

Well I sent a message to Kevin at NERD, he said that for the most part, his largest are kept in 8' x 3'. And that their largest may end up in a 10'. But they dont like to keep anything too large.
