    Caging?
    Hey guys!

    This is my first post in any of the non ball python forums on the site. I own a few colubrids and I'd kinda like to get a nice setup put together and start keeping them all in cages instead of aquariums. I've got a bull snake that has recently outgrown his aquarium and I'm ready to move him to his permanent home. I'd like to get a 48x24x12 cage (I assume a foot tall is plenty of height for a bull snake since they're not big on climbing, right?) Could you guys help me out with a list of manufacturers to research for caging? If it wasn't for the huge lead times with Animal Plastics I'd almost certainly be buying from them. Just looking for a list so I can start my own research.

    Also, pics of your own setups would be awesome. Looking for inspiration for the entire setup :)

    Thanks!

    What's your definition of caging !?

    Bull snakes are very active snakes...they can use the height too, with things* to climb on. When you try to keep them in enclosures that are too small you're
    likely to get serious repetitive nose rubbing with real damage. I prefer large aquariums for them...I've kept & bred them for years, in the past. They also do
    best with plenty of air-flow. *Mine enjoyed driftwood, branches & large terra cotta pottery- the kind they make to grow strawberries with holes like balconies
    all around...snakes find those fascinating, lol. Just make sure it can't be tipped...bull snakes are strong & pushy constrictors.
