    Where can I buy cages this big in CANADA

    Hey

    I am about to get a RTB, but I cant find out where to buy a 4x2x2 cage in Canada

    all the ones I can find are in the US, and will run me an additional 70 - 120$ ON TOP of the 300$ for the custom cage that I want

    I simply cannot afford 400 - 500$

    But I can afford 300$

    So I was wondering if there is a seller of large cages in Canada? Any info or help on this is greatly appreciated

    (also, I cannot build my own, I dont have nearly enough tools/equipment to do it)

    Building en enclosure is not that hard.

    I've built mine myself (see my images), and it was a pretty nice experience.

    My dimensions are 4x2x2, althoughh I found that 2 feet tall might be a bit high (or you have to put some more furniture).

    can make a cage that size and the rtb will be happy a couple tricks are to get he bedliner paint and cover the entire lower 1/3 of the wood this will prevent the wood from rotting fast an molding) I also found that I made mine with about 3/8 grooved ifor the front to place slidign glass in ( did it so the glass edge ast inside the wooden frame. as well as a a metal track for it to ride in) this made it easier to prevent escapes since the glass overlapped each other and went inside the wood to preven them from pushing it open.
    I think ( was awhile back) I used material wise 4-5 2x4 for frame, and if cut right a ingle sheet of plywood. ( igot 2 and made sure I had it right ( I then buils a second one ) )
    I also found if your smart place silcone on the lowere grame before attaching plywood to help seal the gap good then paint it with liner paint. You can also try to paint it befoer asslembly so all he piecies are coated. then aonly got ot worry about the heating/lighting ( which I solved with a under counter light ( tub) and a hole cut in the top and placed a wired gaurd to create a hot spot. for th snake.
