[David Evans]

Enclosure Sizes

a) The cage must be of sufficient size so as to provide enough space, both horizontally and vertically, to enable the animals to take exercise and to protect animals from undue dominance or conflict.
b) The cage must be large enough so that there is a temperature gradient, with one end being warmer than the other to allow the animal to thermoregulate.

3.1.1. Lizards

a) Minimum floor area for 2 adult specimens = 2.5L x 2.0L (L = length of longest specimen); for each additional specimen add 20% to the area.
b) Lizards under 12 months of age are exempt from the space requirements in point a) above, as appropriate enclosure dimensions for such lizards can vary greatly. However, solely as a guide, up to six hatchling Bearded Dragons can be maintained in an enclosuremeasuring 60 cm long x 30 cm wide x 30 cm high, provided that these numbers are gradually reduced as the lizards grow and/or as soon as any signs of dominance-related stress become apparent. Overcrowding must be avoided at all times. These considerations notwithstanding, such lizards must still be provided with all the other conditions set out in this Code.

3.1.2. Terrestrial snakes

a) For two adult specimens up to 4m in total length (L = length of longest specimen):
length = 0.45L
width = 0.375L
height = 0.25L
For each additional specimen add 20% area.
b) Snakes under 12 months of age are exempt from the space requirements in point a) above, as appropriate enclosure dimensions for such snakes can vary greatly. However, solely as a guide, up to six hatchling snakes can be maintained in an enclosure measuring 60 cm long x 30 cm wide x 30 cm high, provided that these numbers are gradually reduced as the snakes grow and/or as soon as any signs of dominance-related stress become apparent. Overcrowding must be avoided at all times. These considerations notwithstanding, such snakes must still be provided with all the other conditions set out in this Code.

3.1.3. Arboreal snakes

a) For two adult specimens up to 4 m in total length (L = length of longest specimen):
length = 0.45L
width = 0.3L
height = 0.5L
For each additional specimen add 20% area.
b) Snakes under 12 months of age are exempt from the space requirements in point a) above, as appropriate enclosure dimensions for such snakes can vary greatly. However, solely as a guide, up to six hatchling pythons can be maintained in an enclosure measuring 60 cm long x 30 cm wide x 30 cm high, provided that these numbers are gradually reduced as the snakes grow and/or as soon as any signs of dominance-related stress become apparent. Overcrowding must be avoided at all times. These considerations notwithstanding, such snakes must still be provided with all the other conditions set out in this Code.

Every Diamond I have seen, owned or been told about have been great easy going, easy handling pythons.

They are "great easy going, easy handling pythons" as far as temperment goes.

But they tend to get sick with various problems as they get older (6,7,8,9 + yo) more so than other carpets in general.

Im just going off my experiences and friends of mine experces.

Serpent tounge is the best guy to talk to about Diamonds IMO
