::Not trying to be rude but why dont you spend about $60 and buy some plywood and build a decent cage for that burm.How do you keep the heat and humidity in a wire cage?There is no other quick fix to a screen cage except to either cover the screen on the inside or replace it with plexi or plywood.Thats a nice size cage and a nice albino.My solution (if it was mine) would be to lay it long ways and fix the screen with plywood or plexi and then your burm will have more room to move.Also it would be able to get the desired heat and humidity it needs to keep from going to the vet.Like i said not trying to be rude just giving advice on what i see.

::We appreciate that advise... The cage was her previous owners. It is what she has been kept in since he got her as a baby. We have been keeping the heat and humidity up with a mister and a space heater.... That hasn't been a problem.... I guess we will just have to go with enclosing it in plexiglass if we can't find another alternative... Just as a note the cage is over 6 feet long... we are unsure of the height since he didn't have anything for her to climb.... which once we can get the wire enclosure ficxd we are going to supply her with... she is a climber... we appreciate the input though.... Thank you for that though...
I dont think highlander realized that it is connected to the cage next to it by a adjoining door. (I know I didn't at first). I would agree that you want to lose the screen and replace it with plywood on the sides and either safety glass or heavy duty plexi glass on the front. The tall part of the cage has a lot of wasted space right now. I would put some heavy branches in there to let him do a little climbing.
