i know albinoburmese.com has a little put together plan of building a cage but, its a little on the expensive side. got any designs that ya mind to share that arent so $$$. i looked at visions and such and i dont like the designs.

Snakes have blood, feal fear, breathe air, eat food, drink water, reproduce, and they happen to live in a body which is difficult for the average person to understand. One fears what one doesn't understand. ignorance creates fear. The fear of snakes is not cultivated…we are not born with it…children love snakes, just as naturally as they love dogs and cats. don’t be afraid of a reptile’s tongue…the only animal that can hurt you with its tongue is the human being.

Re: How do you people house +10 ft long pythons?
Granted our female boa isn't in the 10 foot range (she's about 8.5 to 9 feet long...anyone want to volunteer to actually come help me measure her LOL). Anyways, we took an idea from a friend of ours that rescues adult Green Iguana's and rehabbed an unused interior walk-in closet into a mult-level home for our big boa.
The closet is 6 x 3.5 x 9 feet so she's got oodles of room to climb and hang out. It features a basking shelf with a protected heat source for cooler evenings or when she wants extra heat for digestion. It's right in our livingroom so she can check out the goings on in the house or retreat back into the depths of her home if she's in need of some privacy out of view of our busy household. The door was changed from a regular solid wood door to one with two cutouts - one with plexiglass for viewing and to help retain heat and humidity and a lower cut out with rubberized hardware cloth to allow for good ventilation.
Because we have children, the door is padlocked. Only my husband and I hold the keys. She's not a huge snake but she isn't a snake we want let out unless we are both present in the house.
The floor is hardwood so it's protected with a couple of layers of the black rubber/plastic stuff you use to make outside decorative ponds.

Re: How do you people house +10 ft long pythons?
Let me see what I can dig out. We're still in the processing of tweaking this enclosure. Our original concept for her climbing stuff didn't work out since Miss Big Butt was too heavy for it LOL.
