My "Hercules" is about 6 ft ,an Albino Burmese Python any suggestion on a large cage that would be big enough for him down the road when he gets bigger?

i'd say around 12'length 5-6'width 2.5' height should be good for him. Very costly to buy, a bit less costly to build.

i have to disagree. unless you get a monster of a female (18'+) you shouldnt have to go bigger than an 8'x3-4'. and if "Hercules" is a male then that will definetely be big enough for him. if you have the space you can give him more room if you like though good luck

Well, the more space for the snake, the better. But i geuss 8x 4 is good enough.

a few times when reading about housing snakes iv seen alot of things saying the cage should be half as long as the snake is. so like a 4 foot snake only needs a 2 foot cage. iv used this rule mostly, sometimes a foot shorter (usally for more lazy snakes) and sometimes a foot longer.
