of my big girl and her setup since I was out there cleaning her cage last night (yep, I'm enjoying the new camera! lol).
Here's a pic of her in the holding tub that I use while cleaning her cage. She's around 13' and probably 80-90lbs easy. I haven't weighed her since I got her back last November (she was 70lbs then and around 11-12') but she's grown noticably since I've had her.
And this is the cage I built for her. Probably overkill on the security (3/4 inch melamine coated fiberboard, 1/4 inch lexan doors, heavy duty hinges and padlocks) but that was the deal for me keeping her at my Mom's house (just not enough room for the cage here).
I eventually want to build her a larger cage, but this will have to make do for now until I have more space and money for it. It does the job well enough though and she seems to like it loads better than the plywood cage she had at her previous owner's place. It's a lot easier to clean for me, and doesn't hold odors like the plywood one did plus - with it being white - it's a lot brighter inside and not so dark and dingy looking. It also holds heat way better than the old cage - one 150 Watt heat emitter at one end does the trick (hot end around 90-92F, cool end around 80-82F). It also holds humidity pretty well, I've not had any problems with retained sheds in this cage, even with the winter heat going. The only drawback to it is the weight, there is no moving this thing without giving yourself a hernia - on the plus side, she can't move it either when I'm getting her in and out.
