Hi everybody.

Only information gathering at the moment but out of interest what size room/viv would be needed to comfortably house an adult burmese?

I'm not looking for a minimum size that 'would do' but something to house confortably.

Thanks

Os - 'considering a big snake' :shock: - motic

had a friend who kept his adults in 12foot X4 foot X4foot vivs if that helps

I keep my son in a room not much bigger that that!!! He has a bit more vertical space, and a bunk bed though :lol:

does he eat sheep too?

I keep my retics up to 18 feet long in vivs 6x3x1.5 - that is all they need.

He likes a bit of lamb

I'd love a Burm, my ultimate snake, but not got the space In a few years when I'm rich and got a big house with a double garage...

i tend to give all mine extra space to move around and explore, it sounds like thats what you want to do too, rather than give just the minimum, i tend to use the rule of thumb that if your snake can lay relatively straight out in the viv, its gonna have pleanty of room.... hence i don't have a burm!! :lol:

this is our big viv at work, the snake is 10ft in length, i personally would prefer a bigger area, if i was housing this snake but its entirely up to the keeper i guess, you could always introduce shelves and branches to increase areas :wink:
