I would stick with a larger height. You may sacrafice some on heat and humidity, but with litter dams and other front lateral support, 18" doesn't leave much of an opening.
How large is the Burmese now?
You may want to consider making the cage two pieces. Then bolt them together, an 8' cage is a burden to move. Using ply would also be easier than a 2x4 frame. I use frames in my large enclosures but those are completely different. For a large Burmese cage I see 2 - 5'L X 30"W X 30"H boxs as good measurements. The leftover cut from ripping the ply down to 30" can be used for upper and lower litter dams.
These are just a suggestion, and sealing the ply as well as using some sort of additional floor protection is always recommended for Burmese.
Good Luck
