hey guys i going to make a few more enclosures for coastals would 900mm H x 900mm W x 560mm D be big enough for an adult coastal? i dont have any adults at the moment the biggest is 3 1/2 foot but it will be his home for a while.What do you guys think of the sizes?

I've got a couple of large Diamonds & their kept in 1500x1200x600 enclosures.
Gives them a bit of space to climb etc.
Hope this helps you out. |

Confusing explanation short, he think you need a bigger enclosure!

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Jul-06 Location: sydney, northern beaches | | | | i thought the general rule was, the length plus one width should be a little longer than the length of the snake, any shorter than its too small.. i guess its probably different for aboreal species.. | |
