Re: Enclosures for big snakes

I would use expanded pvc sheets in 1/2" width. Look on google for suppliers in your area. Just search expanded pvc sheet or xpvc sheet.

It cuts and acts very similar to wood and you can use wood working tools on it.

Re: Enclosures for big snakes

Hi here,s a pic of our burm female in her shop/store bought 6x3x3

I'm not good at building stuff so had to buy. If you are gonna buy rather than build I would have a look at Vison cages and NPI cages hope this helps

Re: Enclosures for big snakes

Does anyone on here build enclosures? all the online cage makers I can find are from the US and cost crazy amounts to ship to Canada. I'm not sure I want to buy one but if I can find someone who builds them in Ontario for a reasonable price I'd be pretty into that.

Re: Enclosures for big snakes

I'd either buy a cage from powerhouse displays, or check on Reptilescanada.com classifieds.

I'm a guy, and I like flowers...They smell good, are brightly colored, just another plant...I don't think its feminine and I'm not a feminine dude...

But I don't think that the bright blue ones fit in this enclosure hahaha just personal opinion though

That bottom pic reminds me of a funeral home, only this coffin has something in it that disposes of the bodies

Oh I don't have a problem with flowers, but I think they look out of place in that enclosure
