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.

African Rock Cage
I'm going to build my African Rock a custom cage for the rest of his life (he is currently almost 5 feet). I know how large they get. I was wondering what are your thoughts on a size of (5' Long X 18" High X 30" Deep). Let me know. Its not my first cage to built just curious if you think that is a good size, if not what would you recommend?

As big as you can make it.
10'x4'x2' LxWxH would be a start.

The dimensions you called out would definitely be suitable....but a 8 foot cage, either with a bit of height or a 10 foot that is displayed at chest level would rock!

Alright, I could possibly Do 6'L x 2'H x 30'D Room Size is what is holding me back from building 7 or 8 foot and I dont want it to Deep because it makes it more hard to clean and get snake out and such

I hear ya man, I have a small-ish room filled with vision 6 footers.
It can be a bit overwhelming!

So I should be good with 6'L x 2'H x 30'D It defiantly can be overwhelming. What I want to do is build a 3 level cage. bottom being for my two ball python, split the cage into two for them then middle for my rock and then the top for a future large snake but not as large as the rock. Have to be stackable because one unit would not be possible to get into location or move.

I kept my adults in 72x30x24 cages....when they stretched around the perimeter, the cages didn't look too small; but when the snakes were coiled on one side, they sure did.
Going over 24" deep pretty much requires some extra height, since you have to be able to get to the back.

i always suggest to people, it depends on why you are keeping them (breed or pet)
if you plan on having future breeding pairs, trios or more, haralds size cages work well for rocks. if just a pet, i always say so go as big as you can
