I am ... very happy with your plans, the organization that you have put into it and I am extremely happy with the response I have gotten from you when I have encountered a problem.
It sure does save money. At the same time it allows me and others like me to experience making the cage for our animal (animals) that we care so much about. I think that when someone takes the time to sit down and make something like this for their animal it really shows how much they care for them and respect them.

With your plans you can also alter the cage to each and everyone's specifications, or needs. I think what you are doing is wonderful and I want to thank you again.

Sincerely
Robert Hansford

Spent $108.00 at Lowes, another $65.00 at Home Depot buying things that Lowes didn't have..... Spending time with my son in a hardware store.... PRICELESS!"

 


"Overall, the best thing I have found from the cage designs... is that:
They work!!!!

They allow you to view and touch your Iguana from all sides, This is a must!

Once you have the material list you don't go back to the hardware store.

Just follow the instructions and it comes out perfect.

Your maintenance will be much easier.

Your iguana will thank you

Once again, you will have built something cool. "

Snake Cage Size for Diamond Python

Question

i would like to know what size cage i should make for a diamond python? Matt

Answer

Hi Matt,

From my site:

Snakes enclosures should be at least about 2/3 of the length of the snake, and ½ their length wide. While snakes do not need to stretch out fully, they do need to stretch enough to expand their lungs for proper respiration. Snake also shed regularly and they need room to be able to do this, as well as have objects in the cage that will enable them to catch their skin when shedding.

I also had an extended discussion with someone keeping a diamond python and his cage pictures can be found here:

Hope this helps
