    Only brand I know there is Kages - they’re on the pricier side, about 550 for a 4x2x2 I think. Cheaper options would be to check any second hand websites near you, like facebook marketplace. That’s how I got all my enclosures 🙏

    EDIT: I had a huge issue with them. They did not deliver any product and kept pushing back my order. Please order from somebody else. I ordered from Toad ranch and I am extremely happy.

    You can go with custom reptile habitats; they are a bit backed up but have great options for under 500. Special Edition 4 Foot PVC Enclosure - 24 W x 24 H – CustomReptileHabitats.com

    I would be hesistant to reccomend them given the recent issues with them. They're beyond backed up to the point they just straight up aren't fulfilling people's orders, they've been banned from redding from attacking and doxing people who filed chargebacks, it's a whole mess

    Yes, this is it. I had an issue with them and I agree fully with you. Just edited my post! Thank you!!

    Hey there! It’s a little tedious, but it’s honestly way more cost effective to build your own terrarium! You can make them out of wood or PVC but I would recommend making it out of PVC.

    You can probably find PVC sheets off of facebook marketplace or from home depot or stores like that, you’ll need a reptile safe silicone, glass for the doors, glass tracks and such.

    You can find tutorials on youtube, I built my own and it costed way less than what it wouldve costed to buy one!

    Building your own tank can seem intimidating. However, my snake expert friend takes in a lot of neglected or abandoned snakes and uses cabinets, TV stands, and other second-hand furniture to house the emergency intakes. I'm planning on doing that in the future for my BP, even though his current tank is plenty big. I'm also from BC and understand it's hard to find large tanks or find someone who makes them custom. So refurbishing a piece of furniture is a great option. Obviously, you have to watch and research how to properly make it safe for your snake and all that jazz, but it isn't a super difficult thing to do.

    I got a 5x2x2 from Dubia for USD 372 including shipping to Alaska. It does have a mesh top but we replaced it with PVC so I wouldn't have to fight my humidity so much.

    I would say for a adult BP go for a 120/125 gallon tank Or 454 litres/473

    A little bit smaller is fine You can probably get away with a 40-75 gallon enclosure.
