What type of, and how big of an enclosure do you use for your burms?
Kinda curious, becuase I am about to order 8ft x 30in x18in Monster Cages...yet somehow to me, that does'nt seem big enough.

That size cage will handle a small adult burm just fine. BUT, if you end up with a big monster like I did (nearly 20') you will need something at least 12' x 4'. If you have a burm that comes out of its cage on a very regular basis to stretch out and get some exercise, then a modest sized cage (like your's) will do fine for even large specimens.

Thanks...I have a male albino. I dont expect him to be a "monster". And he does come out for regular exercise. Although I dont know what burm exercise is. It takes him forever to go 10 ft. But he does love to climb.
If it's in his way,he will climb it.
I plan on putting my burms in 8 ft cages, my Dumerils and my RTBs in vision 6 ft cages, and my BRB and Balls in cages that are 8ft, divided to 4 ft.
I'm hoping each will be sufficient for all.Adding all these cages should free up enough room so I can finally get a Dwarf retic.

I'm actually using the cages from monster cages, mine are 8' long x 30" wide x 2' high, and I'm housing a 7' Green Anaconda, and a 9' Reticulated Python in mine. I'm hoping to someday get a pair of burmese pythons.

Are you using only cage liners? Are you using a heat lamp?
Your not afraid for your snakes burning themselves?
I plan on using cypress mulch, and heat tape...though I may just get the cage, and buy and undertank heater.
Monday I have to call and ask a few more questions, and then place my order.
Were you happy with their customer service? And how long did it take for you to receive your cages?
