I want to build a new cage for my snake

rockysnake May 31, 2004 01:38 PM

Hey,

I am trying to provide a larger environment for my snake. Right now he is in a 36 3/8 * 18 3/8 * 19 (50 Gallon) cage. I am moving in a few weeks and my wife and I are going to be having more space because we are moving to a bigger home. So we thought we might as well give my snake a bigger home too.

The problem is that I have been trying to find him a bigger cage on the market that is reasonable. Needless to say it is nearly impossible.

So my second option is to build on. But I don't know how to build a good-looking cage (for us and the snake) that would work for what I wanted it to be.

I wanted to build a cage that is 60*36*24. What I wanted to do was have about 1/5 of the cage seperated in water so that way he con't need anymore anoying water bowls and I can also have a fogger in there for him. The rest of the 4/5 of the cage will be regular repti-turf.

I really want his cage to look good so if anyone has built a cage before or knows of a place where I can get a REASONABLY priced cage of these dimensions, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know.

Thank you

I really can't offer any help, other than you might check out the caging forum for building ideas.

What kind of snake is this for?
