i agree that 18" is too short. it would be like trying to reach under a bed from one side to the other.

also makign the cage in two parts may be a good idea. also it may be good to make two pans instead of one so that they are easier to move.



>>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.
