Most people will say to put a hatchling in a small click clack but I chose to put mine straight into a bigger enclosure and he/she is doing great. It measures 24" W x 18" H x 18" D. Not sure if this is big enough for when it's fully grown but I'm willing to upgrade at that time, and then I'll be able to get my second snake.

so if you keep one in a 2ft L x 1.5ft W x 1.5ft H, would you double this to keep 2 macs in, say 4ft L x3ft W x 1.5ft H.

If your going to put it straight into a big enclosure you should put lots of hides in it, well thats what i've heard anyway.

yea a 2 foot enclosure would be perfect for a spotted, its pretty easy to make a small enclosure, i've been in the process of making my enclosures for 6 months, half because of money but they are finally nearly finished need to make 2 more doors and i'm done heres some pics ones the full bank and the others half of it outside where i've been working on it.

Yes, yeldarb, I would double it (maybe not so much the height) to contain two spotteds. Although, I wouldn't have two together- just in case one ate the other.
