if you're talking about the cage for the vine snakes I would say that you can use just about any cage you want as long as it will support the heat and humidity requiements.

These are very nice cages from Matthew Martin at Monster Cages.

HDPE= High-density polyethylene http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDPE
PVC= Polyvinyl chloride http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PVC

OK Now that that has been solved I am going to assume you are looking for the stackable type enclosures and not a rack correct? If that is the case I use a 175 gal fish tank I got for 50 bucks when I was living in Colorado. Most but not all of my snakes are in a rack system made by animal plastics. But if I could get some I would get the flat fromt neodesha cages, those things rock, and if money and gas prices were not an option I would have several of these around the house.....

ive settled on herpcages for the vine cage however looking into the PVC and HDPE type 6ft x 3ft cages for other projects ive been browsing these cages for a while and found some for about 300 each shipped that are made out of PVC and HDPE

I got some APs (Animal Plastics) cages here recently....they are really Top Notch!

The Herpcages are nice too, just recently got on of those.....I didn't even know they made ones in the size you were looking at doing.
