I would at least see if there any woodworker's specials from Enerjoy. 25% off for slight defects.

BTW, the best guard I have seen built for a large python was a simple plywood box built into the cage, bottom covered with screen. I assume some sort of hinge to allow access.

I think this is the best way to go as some of the homemade or jury-rigged methods would scare me a bit with a large python. I'm sure they could accidentally take one out which could be really bad.
