So all I really need to buy is the T8 cage swing door with the lock and the divider or would you advise anything else to include?I use the Animal Plastics T8. It is a 48" x 24" x 12" cage but is shipped unassembled (so it costs a lot less to ship) I have yet to find another cage maker that makes a better product.
I get them with a divider so smaller snakes can feel more secure (or house 2 snakes in the same cage)
