My 13ft male burm came to me in a giant 12X6X4 enclosure, obviously it is a outside cage which is fine I am in South Florida so its warm most of the year. But im looking for a enclosure large enough to keep a pair of breeder burms inside without costing more then the snakes. Im not much of a handy man so any info would help on neodesha or vision or ?????????

Well i havent got any response i did some more searching and i think it would be best to build a cage. ANY OTHER OPINIONS?

Your question has been up less than 4 hours.

If you don't hear from people here, you might try reading through some posts in the Caging Forum and then posting your question there, too. Also, if you use the search function on Kingsnake and put in various cage manufacturers names, you’ll get a boatload of posts back to consider.

Your statement, “But im looking for a enclosure large enough to keep a pair of breeder burms inside without costing more then the snakes.” plus the fact that you said you were “not much of a handy man” might make it difficult to find a cage (unless your snakes are very expensive ones). A decent cage with the equipment necessary to heat it is going to cost a little money. And you really should consider getting two cages to house two adult Burmese pythons.

I’ve used homemade wooden boxes, Vision, Animal Plastics, Boaphile, Neodesha and Habitat Systems products (but not all to house adult Burmese), as well as a couple that aren't even in business anymore. Each solution has pluses and minuses.

Good luck,

If you can get this cage you already have into your house, then it will be fine for a pair of adults. If you are really interested in buying a cage for a pair you may want to check out this link. I think Rottenweiler9 will agree with me that they have excellent cages. They may not be REALLY cheap, but you get what you pay for and they are a hell of a lot cheaper than Vision or Neodosha(sp?).
