allowing for new additions

hey guys i currently have a bredli and was thinking of getting a jungle within the next six months.
i'm in the process of building a new enclosure and was wondering what sort of dimensions id need for an adult jungle so that i can make a 2 in one enclosure i'm mostly concerned about height wise. and what temp should i keep them at?

anyway thanks in advance

I'm currently building a bank of 3 cages for Jungles, the internal measurements of each cage are 850 x 595 x 461mm. These are for Palmerston and Milla Milla Jungles though, Athertons would need bigger. My bredli cages are 4ft x 2ft x 2ft.

is that 850 x 595 x461= L x W x H i thought they were arboreal. so a Athertons (which is the biggest isn't it) would be fine in a enclosure that was 3 ft high? so like 2ft x 2ft x 3ft or do they need more ground space?

Yes they are arboreal, and yes those dimensions are correct. A cage does not have to be very high, just have a lot of places to climb and get off the ground. It's all about how you set the cage up, not the actual height.

oh ok awesome so those measurements i have would be fine? and what temp would i need too keep them at? i ask because i assume i will need another thermostat due to the possibly of different temp requirements from my bredli (which i have her hot end at about 30-32 and her cool end at like 27-28 roughly anyway)

What sort of Jungle are you getting? They like it a bit cooler but still need a 30-31 degree basking spot.

not sure yet but lets say Athertons for arguments sake. ok kool ill get separate thermostats. don't worry i just want to allow for the space of the biggest possible jungle scenario, then ill research later, when i actually have the money for the snake, exactly what type and so on. i don't just jump into things. its easier to section off a enclosure than it is to make it bigger thats all

and thank you for the help its greatly appreciated
