I was quoted $168 for shipping here. That would be a T-25 or modified T-25.

Its not a deal breaker, but I can save a lot picking up a pre-built unit from Monster Cages.

I am still strongly considering AP with a similar setup to Sauzo. T-25 with shelf and I'll add my own perches as well. My state borders Iowa (AP's home) but Sauzo has a longer shipping route to Washington state.

The hobby isn't cheap if you do a reasonable job of caring for and setting up your animal properly.

Larger snakes will definitely cost you some money to care for.

Call AP and get your quote.
