    the 8x4 foot for a 10 foot snake is a bit cramped really and 2 foot high is sub-standard really........and the reason it doesn't move is do to a few things, one is the ground area is a little cramped, two it needs highth with branches and limbs to climb on, three they are more active at night.....

    so what I'm trying to say is they need a huge encolsure to be healthy and normal, one like your friends will do, but its not what it should be..........

    now for a snake that is say 5 foot that would be good except for the highth it should be higher.............

    Re: Cage

    i guess i could make the heights 3 ft each is that could? then i could still stack 2 on top of each other and save me some space but at least theyll be happy and then make a seperate one for the garters, is 4'x2'x16" high enough for them? and is that big enough for a trio? thanks,
