I'm in an interesting position. My wife and I are moving to a new house in a few weeks, and my two Burmese are going with us. At our current residence, we have a nice utility building behind our house where my two big burms and lone Everglades rat snake live. The new house has no such utility building. So we're having one built. Tentative dimensions will be 12x16, insulated and climate-controlled. I am currently breaking several major rules of herpetoculture, the most glaring of which is that I have two Burmese in one cage. That won't be going on much longer. What I would like to do is set up my building to be a Burmese python paradise, within reason of course (i.e., no waterfalls or jungle motif). The snakes will be separated, with the male retaining sole ownership of a big Neodesha cage I have. I will build a bigger cage especially for my female, an enormous albino. If you had such a building at your disposal, how would you set it up? I have considered everything from building a huge cage into the wall to devoting one whole side of the building to the female. Any suggestions? How 'bout substrate? Heating? (Regarding heating, I just kind of figured I'd just heat the entire building, but I'm not sure how. Electricity? Gas?)
Don't worry about the rat snake -- he doesn't count!
