How do you think a 11 foot burm would like?

ok, looking at a adorable burm.
she is 11 foot.
how do you think she would like this?


48"H x 72"L x 36"D




yes i know you can build your own, but we really like this setup.
and its quite sleak.

Burms are a bit big to climb those rocks.
So the only issue with it is that its not a 'long' style enclosure but meant for climbing lizards. :]

but would it work?
lol

Seems to me like it would be a waste of money to buy an expensive enclosure like that and having it outgrown soon

outgrown?
oh i forgot to mention the burm is 11 foot, and i belive 6 years old.

so she shouldnt be growing longer, as much as thickness.

I just saw female and assumed she would get bigger. 11 is small for female burms isnt it? I'm not too experienced so i fully accept the possibility of my being incorrect lol

[FIEND_FO_LYFE]

well...
im not sure...
the sizing is usually "10-15" foot...

but thats like that balls we were talking about... "6 foot balls lol"

I have heard that those cages are on the flimsy side, not built well for large constrictors.

I guess they are made out of thin paneling, and aluminum frames. Seems to me like a burm could push its way through something like that if it really wanted to.

I would opt for something with good solid construction, that will cost less than half of that. You could even build something nicer, that would be more solid.

I wanted to add that regulating temps, and humidity in something like that would be a major pain in the rear.

Some of us like display cages*. =) I looked at those.

*The big empty cage in this pic is my burm's cage when we just got it; it's 8' x 3' x 2'.

I think Cages by Design make a slightly shorter, longer one. I don't know about the build quality though, so I can't comment on that.

Thinking about my 11' burm...I think he'd climb on the logs, but he'd only want to smear poop on those rocks (his favorite passtime, smearing poop).

As far as controlling the temps and humidity, if you were using UTHs with a good thermostat, as well as monitoring the air temp, I don't see why temperature would be an issue. And Dion is coming out with his new humidity-stat (Spyder Robotics), you could probably get humidity licked too.

Nice display cages are more involved and usually more expensive to set up properly and nicely, if you get it going well, the bit more work they require for maintenance is worth it in my book. =)
