Pro-Line has a $195 cage and that price includes shipping.

I'm not sure what you are using the cage for but a royal doesn't need 16" or 24" of height. 24" will present humidity problems and heating problems in a glass cage depending on where you live. Pay for more floor space instead of height.

Do what you want, but plastic enclosures are recommended for snakes here and they are fairly affordable, and probably less expensive in the long run. Making a glass tank work properly ends up costing you in other ways down the road.

On another note, feeding and cleaning from top opening cages is somewhat inconvenient IMO.

Good luck.
This cage was the first cage I used when my boa constrictor was small.

This is a Pro-Line 48" x 24" x 14" unit. It's certainly high enough for anything a royal would do. They offer a smaller cage suited for royals and so does AP.

This cage I believe runs for about $250 shipped now. I bought it when it was $230 shipped.

For now I house my coastal carpet in it, although the boa constrictor is pictured in it here, but eventually she (coastal) will get a larger cage like the boa constrictor has now and the royal will move to this one.




These cages also stack and if you end up getting more animals and you want displays, they look nice.

The bottom cage is 48" x 30" x 20".
