This sounds like a terrific cage and I'm glad it is your priority to provide as much space as possible for your pets.



My suggestion is this: If you can accomidate a 5 1/2 (66" wide cage then it would make more sense from a "design" standpoint. If you go 66" wide and 30" deep and 18" high, you will use ALL of each sheet of plywood,.. instead of having a 6x48 inch scrap from each one. And by going 18 inches high,.. when you make your 30"x66" cuts you will automatically have your cage back as a remainder/byproduct. (48" minus 30" = 18" And as far as 66" wide versus 60" wide goes,.. you'd be surprised at what a difference that extra 6"x30" area makes for overall space.



Just a few suggestions. Hope you don't mind.







>>good point, and i really like the idea of making the cage mobile

>>todd for now i have the space for a 5 foot long, 30 inches deep and 18-20 inches high cage. I'll be moving come june or july and will have much more space to deal with but for now thats all i have to deal with, the 2 burms are 3 and 5 feet so i'd assume a cage this size is plenty until june or july. and plus when they outgrow them i have a dumeril's boa and a carpet python that'd fit quite nicely in those cages. So nothing goes to waiste ( is that spelled right? it looks funny)

>>

>>i don't need anything incredibly fancy just a water tight box with a drawbridge style door, i'd like to go with a plexi glass or glass door instead of mesh, glass just seems a bit nicer

>>

>>once the burms out grow those cages i'd planned on atleast an 8 foot long cage for the male and i'd like something a bit bigger for the female, i understand i'd have to put 2 sheets of wood together, and thats fine i'll find a way somehow to accomplish this, i'm just not satisfied with giving a 20 foot long snake 8 feet of room

>>sorry to ramble on in this post i just want to give these guys as much room as possible, they're going to be with me for quite some time afterall

>>

>>so to sum it up, one set of plans for a cage 5feet by 30 inches by 18-20 inches with a drawbridge type door would be greatly appreciated and many thanks in advance
