Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Burm housing
How do you Burm owners house your big boys? ( girls )
Big fish tanks are no longer cuttin the mustard. And I wan to give my burms as much space as possible, while still being practical.
The super large Vision Cage is too expensive, and most other brands IMHO are too small for a burm.Do you use a different size Vision cage?
When you see Burms on display, they are usually housed in a room sized enclosure. That one is not gonna fly with the Mrs.
I was going to build one.
What does everyone here use? How big?
Just curious...before my burms over run the entire collection.
I have one albino male, that is my favorite, but he is very very very active. A 12" high cage is too small.
I'd like to see him in a cage with dimensions of...
8' longx30"deepx36"high
Any suggestions?

30" width won't make it through many doorways so measure around your house to see what fits, unless you plan to build in the room you keep the snakes. 36" high can lead to heating and humidity issues. When there is that much air space you start to lose your gradient as a heat source from above will transmit the heat throughout the cage because of humidity. 24" is a bit better height IMO. Shower surround is a 1/8" think board with a waterproof laminate that makes great floor and wall covering because it cleans so well and if on the entire inside of the cage makes it waterproof and is much easier/faster to work with than several layers of a brush on sealant. I don't recommend anything but ply as melimine can and will fall apart over time with humid conditions and is even heavier than ply. Don't forget to caulk all the inside joints with aquarium caulk. You should let a newly finished cage air out for a week or so before you add the animals because the fumes can be toxic from caulk/sealant/stain.
