What kind of caging does everyone utilize? Sizes, models, brands, etc. Just curious.
Here is a relatively current photograph of my male YT.

“All men lie enveloped in whale-lines. All are born with halters round their necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realize the silent, subtle, ever-present perils of life.”- Herman Melville

In February, I got a bunch of 4x2x1 cages from the boaphile, with heat and a center lock (to avoid pushouts) for my pinesnakes. So far I am very happy and the snakes seem to be as well. Pricing was right, cages are well built and I received very good customer service.

Now all I need is for some females to start laying eggs...

i build my own to save $$ & i build them pretty big. i also started using 1/4'' hardware cloth & styrofoam bottoms in the last couple years to keep the weight down. the screening allows tons of air & natural light in & i discovered [accidentally] that feces dry quickly w/ this airiness, eliminating odors in short order. here's 3 i have pics of: an 8' x 2' cribo box, a converted china closet [ratsnakes] & a 6' x 6' spilotes cage. the spilotes & ratsnakes actually utiize their quarters but the cribos remain hidden most of the time in the corner. but 'when' they do come out, it makes it worth the effort.

what type of lighting do you use???....wattage, etc

I use full spectrum from Wal-mart but keep in mind I also give them time outside in outdoor enclosures.
