Im getting a new little spotted soon and i will be keeping her in a click clack for the first few months, but im looking for an upgrade enclosure for when shes bigger and was just wondering if a 60x30x60cm (LxWxH) tank would be too small for a Spotted?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions! :)
 
Spotted's will apparently grow to 1.5m, the rule of thumb is half the snakes length for the length of the enclosure and a quarter of the snakes length for the height and depth. This of course can vary a little bit depending how much room you have. That size sounds fine until its fully grown and maybe even ok for a fully grown spotted, but you'll be surprised how long they can live in their click clack and you can just upgrade this for the first year / 18 months. Snakes can get stressed if the enclosure is too big for them, just make sure you have plenty of hides.
 
i built my spotted enclosure 750x600x500 suits them fine
 
My Anterasia enclosures are 750 x 450x450.

Spotted's can get up to 150cm, but they would average around 120cm, so on that basis a 60cm enclosure would be okay, but would not go any smaller and personally would go a little bit bigger.
 
My macs enclosure is 1200 x 600 x 600

I wanted something a little igher as she does climb a little. and it allowed me to give numerous hides
 
My Stimson Pythons enclosures are: 900x600x600(mm) (length x width x height) and they're large enough - Both of them can fully stretch out with room left over. However spotted pythons get abit larger than Stimson pythons. so I'd probably go the size that I have suggested or maybe even a little bigger.

I have just put the male into the females enclosure - for breeding and there's still heaps of room for the 2 of them.
 
Gday this is what i got my baby's in

And this is what the bigger feller is in and the 2 babies will end up in the same size enclosure

My spotted is in 600x500x400. He's not fully grown (only about 90cm) but so far it's more than enough for him.
