full grown burmese enclosure

[K1LOS]

Just investigating into the future. What would you build a cage out of for a fully grown giant python or boa? I don't think you could just put glass on a track with a lock and the walls made out of melamine, could you? Seems to me that a large snake would have the strength to break something of that sort if it were interested to do so. So what DO you use to house such a snake? thanks

Just go to the gallery, and click on cages/enclosures. There are tons of cages there and you can email the people to see if/and how they made them. I think people just use a thicker plywood. and I think they do use glass.

I built my burm enclosure from 1/2 inch ply wood and 2 x 4 studs.

I seen someone on here build an awesome enclosure with a ledge in it, it was green. I couldn't find the pic though! I think it was either you T.O-Sk8ter or HetForHuman......but I can't find the pic or remember who did it!

my 8x2 enclosures are made out melamine with sliding glass and my 16ft burm has never broke out of it, depends on how you build it.

I got my baby boa a boaphile from Jeff Ronne, it is BIG and EXPANDABLE for larger type snakes like burms even some retics for a fer years. Its 4'x2'x17" expanded its 8' which is very nice for a burm. The cage I ordered is very pleasant to look at and easy to clean, ordered mine with locks head light and thermostat for $479.00 but he added double heat and expandable end free of charge. I would buy from him again if I ever need, only thing I didn't like was th fact that it took 3 weeks for me to get it, only 4 days once it was sent.
