first of all, is it a male or female. this should determine how big of a cage you need. what i am in the process of doing right now is building a 3 tier cage. It is 6'Hx3'Wx2'D. I am serpating it into 3 levels and I will house either adolescent balls or boas. I am using 3/4 plywood for the shelves and 2x2s for the frame of the entire thing. I am using plastic sheeting(which you can get at a local sign shop for about $30 a sheet)for the floors. Then you cut a hole in the floor of the plywood before you lay the plastic down and then you attach the flexwatt heat tape to the underside of the plastic.
The reason i wouldnt go with a plexiglass cage is because your snake will need to feel secure and if it has clear walls, it could stress your snake out. IMO
If you use wood, be sure to seal it with a good polyurathane and use silicone to seal the edges where the wood meets.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
One more thing, if you decide to use wood, and you dont have any tools, home depot can cut the wood for you....
Hope this helps...
