    Need ideas on a cage for my Hogg Island...

    I would like to get a display cage for my Hogg Island boa. She is currently in a 3 cage stack. Each cage measures 4ftlongx2ftdeepx18high and they each have a ProProducts heat panel and strip light. (My Hogg is in the top cage and the albinos in the middle I sold recently. Before anyone asks their cages are so bare because they were all on quarantine. I had mites show up out of the blue.)


    My female hogg likes to climb all over the place and now that I only have her and don't plan on getting any more snakes till after I'm done nursing school which will be years so I want to set up an awesome display cage. I saw this online pic online and I want something like that with all the branches and the pond on the bottom plus I'm thinking maybe a rock wall...

    I'm thinking on getting the AP A20 (48L x 24D x 36H) Arboreal cage as the shell of the whole thing(which I think is the cage in that picture) but I'm looking for ideas on what to do with the walls and everything cause I can't just have a bunch of open air space and have my Boa take a free fall... Also can anybody tell me what that stuff is lining the cage walls? I think that would be awesome to hide cords behind if I did a filter or fogger for the pond...

    I don't know how much it would cost, but this company makes custom branches and backgrounds for reptiles. (they are made from artificial materials that will hold up over time)

    Re: Need ideas on a cage for my Hogg Island...

    If price isn't an issue I would look into cagesbydesign.com some really nice furniture quality display cages. I've even seen a few on craigslist in the past. If you know a good handyman you could always get them to build one similar to those on the website for less than half the price. Or you could cut out flaps in your stack and use all of the cages for one large enclosure if you are on a tight budget. Just be sure to sand the edges smooth when you're done.

    That was my first thought Serpent Merchant. I would love to have them finish out a cage for my GTP and a ETB I will eventually have. Their work is awesome.

    Thanks lol I had some more but the snake ripped them off one day lol

    Cage wise I need something made outta Pvc or aluminum cause I just can't carry a big wooden cage even if I had help. I was looking at cages by design and they are just way to expensive for me... I built one on their site and it was over 2 grand.
