Monster cages

I need a cage that's pretty big. I was wondering if monster cages is a good choice? I can build one but I'm not a good wood worker . If someone is willing to shoot me a mail with maybe some sort of blueprint or pictures with measurements I would appreciate anything

What kind of monster are you putting in it, and how big is it?

Burmese python

I have two Monster 96"x30"x18" enclosures. They retain heat and humidity well, are sturdy, and are easy to clean. The downside to an enclosure that size is reaching into the far back corner to clean up the poop pile can be a streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch.

If I would have had more time, I definately gone the monster cage route. Instead I had a custom wooden enclosure made. It is very nice, but takes up way more space then I wanted to.

I see I might end up building one if they don't contact me soon

Animal plastics makes a much better large format cage (weight and material wise). May be worth the wait time for them if you are in no immediate rush. I house my retics in Visions though, and they love them.

Visions?

http://www.visionproducts.us/, I use them for my Blueys and love them, minus the sagging issue of the older models. Apparently they have fixed this issue in the newer models, I havent heard any new complaints.

My friends keeps all of his snakes in Vision and he has plenty of 10+ footers. He has one old style with a barely noticeable sag but his newer ones dont and they have some big girls/boys in them.

I looked at those and most of those are stacks and really .... meh but I called them and left a message. My reptiles are like my children just doesn't seem alright to me to put them in a tub with a door on it. No offense of course that's just my opinion. Love the options I have its just not moving anywhere : /

I'm not really understanding what you mean by stacks and tubs with doors? Most PVC or plastic cages can be stacked, that is the beauty behind them. As far as a tub with the door on it, there are multiple sizes of cages...

I actually got a close look at the vision cages and really liked them might get one

I think plastic enclosures will probably last longer, and they aren't that bad looking either. I have a melamine floor in my wooden enclosure that I am thinking of covering with some linoleum, just to make sure there is no wood being soaked by water/urine. I use newspaper which seems to be working so far.

Another vote for Vision and Pro Panels, at least for retics. Just cut back on the vents and they hold humidity very well. Now if I can just get my ball python females past the 8ft length in less than a year too.http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-angry019.gif

I realize newspaper is free,but Kraft indented paper works really well and comes in different rolls,including a 3ft wide to fit the vision 632's . I put down 2 layers and it's very absorbent.

Have to check around town here and see if anyone stocks that stuff. Shipping is almost as much as the cost of the paper.

Found a 300' roll on amazon with free shipping for less then $30, gonna give it a try.

Have you looked at Boamaster cages. I use their wood cages for my retics and they are awesome. Only downfall is that they are very heavy. However they hold heat and humidity very well and they look nice too.
