hi. i'm tim cole with austin reptile serviceand i've been keeping reptiles and amphibians for over forty years. we're going to talkabout building cages for snakes. if you're on a budget building a cage might be the wayto go. a variety of materials can be used. plexiglas, wood, plywood can be used. youwant to be careful not to use any wood like chip board that has formica in it. that canbe a problem for the snake obviously, but
cheap snake enclosures for sale, a lot of people have found that it's almostcheaper in the long run to buy a cage that's made for snakes. as you can see behind mewe have our oriole cages that are specifically made for snakes. there are sweater box racksystems that are made for snakes. there are larger plastic cages that are made for snakes.there are wooden cages made for snakes. the
primary thing is you've got air flow. theseare lockable. if something gets spilled in them you want to make sure that's containedand not going to make a mess in your house. some cages are stackable which is great forspace saving. a lot of people like the rack
systems because it doesn't take up a lot ofspace. simple containers like this box which was bought at a container store on a racksystem can make a very easy to clean and space saving cage. some people want to go with somethingfancier that's a big glass front that they can look into and that's certainly understandable.
