LOL, sorry for being unclear, I said "don't niles grow like 9ft long?". I didnt know so it was a question. Maybe im confused and thinking of a water monitor or something? Anyways I think it's 7 feet? Not sure but I have heard of 9 foot niles as V.hb said. So not sure, but anyways, even if the animals is only 5-6ft long, how would it turn around in that kind of space? Shouldn't the cage be at least half the width of the animal? and if you have a 7 foot animal you would want 3.5 feet of space, and better yet, 4 feet? I would probably make it 4 feet minimum myself, but im just blabbering.

talk to mark bayless.. I'am sure hes got a paper, or at least records of the largest nile. I'am pretty sure it was 9 feet.
