I keep 3 adult Central Netteds in a 4'wide x 2'deep x 2'high. This is plenty of room and you could comfortably keep 3 in a 3x2x2 or 3x1.5x1.5.
Mine eat crickets, woodies and mealies. I don't feed mine greens but I have read of plenty of people who do.
I would also suggest keeping them on some reasonable depth red sand with some small logs and fake rocks as they love to burrow and dig under things.
Hope that helps

I paid $100 each for mine as adults but have seen prices just recently ranging from $80 for hatchies through to $200 for adults. Try a search of the old 'for sale' threads on here and it will give you an idea.
They don't mind it a bit hot. I experimented a bit with heating and found that a 150 watt infra red globe kept the basking spot at 40-41degC and the cool end at about 28degC. When my red globes blew I tried clear globes and found a much lower wattage clear globe (60W) kept the enclosure at those same temps. These temps were the absolute max my enclosure got to so I didn't bother with a thermostat and have had no problems. I have found though that they are much more active under the red globe. Maybe they don't like the white light, I'm not sure but they seem to hang out in their burrows much more under the clear globe.
I must stress that this set-up with no thermostat works for my enclosure after much experimentation. Most people would probably suggest a thermostat.
You will also need a UV light.

well i do now one thing, if it was an inferred globe it means that it will not disturb them (when the uv is off they will think it is night) as for the light globes, i dont no... with the inferred, they will display a more natural behavior.......correct me if im wrong, i have only hade my snake a few months.........

I don't heat them at night, they go to sleep like i do 
light turns on at 7am goes off at 7pm.
My Dragons like bokchoy, crickets the occasional meal worm and me if I am too slow.
They also like a water bowl they can chase there reflection around in, not deep just enough so it comes up to there belly, they love it.
They do like to scratch around and chase things to, I have things they can climb all over.

I have a young pair of netteds, they are fantastic creatures!
I have a 75watt heat light and a 10.0 UV light for them too, Mine are fed on Woodies.
They are wonderful to watch, I have play pit very fine washed sand for mine, and yes they love to dig loads!
Their enclosure is a 4ft MDF with sliding glass doors.
I am hoping thy breed next season for me, only time will tell!
