I've been babysitting a friends 10 foot burm for a few months now and when I talked to her original owner today he said he had no intentions of taking her back. He wanted me to take care of her but he still wanted to call her his snake. I really wish he would have been honest with me from the get go because the cage he had her in is very small for her size and i felt bad about her being in it but I was under the impression that i was just keeping her temporarily so it would have been pretty pointless to invest the money and time into getting her a bigger one. I am considering purchasing some plans to buy a cage from the cages by design website, has anyone had experience dealing with them? I know I want to build it at least 12 foot long but how high and wide should I make it. This will be the first cage i've ever built so any advice would be great. Also she has been eating a few live large rats a week but i was thinking of switching her to frozen/thawed rabbits would she accept this after only eating live prey for 9 years?

Thanks for any help you can give,

Katy
