www.herpcages.com and www.precisioncaging.com I use their cages and recommend them for colubrids. Escape-proof.

Thanks Mark!
I will check them out!

Also have yet another question if anyone can help....
ok I have 3 snakes, a rainbow boa, a dumeril, and a king
they all have undertank heaters... do I also need to use heat lamps ?

I have been using a 75W day bulb during the day, and a 75W red heat lamp at night... Is all that needed with the undertank heaters ?

stick with under cage heating pad. you stated that you have a rainbow boa this snake tend to like a little more humid and a heat lamp will dry out the cage too much. so you can just use a heat pad with all of your snakes.
as stated above herpcages.com is great! and so is animalplastics.com

Thanks Alot !
If I find "houdini" again tonight, Im going to put him back in the smaller cage.
When i got him he was in a 10Gal and didnt have a problem with him escaping until I moved him into a 20Gal!
Thanks again to you all !
