I have two of the four foot precision cages that I have had for six years now. I have kept adult borneo bloods in them and adult dumeril boas. They work good and look as great as the day I got them.

I had the two stacked on a 6' vision and did not have any problems with floors bowing with adult bloods in them.The males were around 14-16lbs and the female was 24 lbs.
I never used under belly heating or in cage heating as I use a thermostat to control a space heater for the room. However I did use the light sockets in them with low wattage florescent bulbs to drop there photoperiod for breeding so the sockets did come in handy. Hope this helps.

I have 5 Precision cages that I use for some of my colubrids. I am a little hesitant about putting a blood python in one. They seem a little thin for such a strong snake. My female has pushed through a sliding screen lid before. Don't get me wrong, they are still very nice cages.

That being said, someone else here said they work fine for bloods, I just don't trust mine in one.
