rescued burm & custom cage hubby built
Hubby finally finished with the cage for this guy we took in as a rescue last weekend (a guy I knew died that owned the albino burmese and the yellow anaconda, his wife contacted me, and I took them in--we found a good home within 20miles of us for the anaconda, and he has a lot of reptile experience). The new albino burm was cramped up temporarily in a 55 gal the first week here, but now he has his own 6'x2'x2' custom cage :0)
We also decided to name him "Butterscotch" (we are guessing that the burm is a male, by the large spurs, and long thick tail base-I know not 100% accurate). Butterscotch in an albino burmese at least 10ft long, maybe a little more, and other than a few hisses here and there, seems to be a very good snake, but he does have a lot of scars on his body and head including one right between his eyes on his head, we fed f/t jumbo rats after we got hime home last weekend, and he took no problem, yeah! Have to order some larger frozen feeder food now :0)
First pic is of him "Butterscotch" in 55 gal, then last 3 pics are in his new custom cage, now I just have to go out and get another large cat litter pan, for his water bowl, lol. The house is a large plastic planter upside down with hole cut in for a hide box :0)
Eventually we will have a few 8'x4'x2' cages built for the burms, and RTBs. Have one 8 footer started but never finished, lol, having trouble finding glass we need for the front sliding glass doors, plus it will have to be broke down and re-put back together when we move it upstairs, since it wont go out any of our doors, lol.

Re: rescued burm & custom cage hubby built
 Sorry about your friend.
Nice pics. A little rough around the edges, but still a beautiful burm.

Re: rescued burm & custom cage hubby built
Thanks, he has some yucky looking scars on him, and his head, but so far seems to be a handleable guy. Need to find a good chunk a tree to put in there & a rock too :0) We have a huge old 6'X3'X3' ice cream freezer we have for just my reptiles food(rats, mice, guinea pigs, etc), bait, and to freeze limbs & other wood hides, aspen shavings, etc.

Re: rescued burm & custom cage hubby built
To be somewhat negative but realistic, screens & big Boids do not mix well.
Screens will lead to nose rub injuries & also make the cage open to drafts & let all the humidity escape as well.
Depending on the strength of the screen & how its mounted etc. large Boids can sometimes push right through them with little effort as well.
For humidity you may want to consider cover a large portion of the screen top with sections of plexiglass to prevent heat & humidity form escaping.
Kudos to you for rescuing it, good luck Mark
