diamond python housing

[gillsandgeckos]

hi.. hoping for some advice what size enclosure would you recommend for housing a trio of diamonds and is height more important than length as i am aquiring a trio shortly ...

Adult or what? Most people go with a modified aviary from bunning, obviously modified to make snake proof.

we live in the uk and our climate is somewhat wet and cold was hoping someone could help with dimension and the diamonds are sub adults

 

[PieBald]

Do you plan on breeding?

people say different buy i find carpet to love hieght and if given will make great use of it.
size wise im unsure but i plan on keeping 2 adults in my enclosure that is 1200mH X900W X600D

i have 2x 2yr diamonds in the same enclosure. The enclosure is 3ft H x 4ft W x 2ft D. I made the enclosure myself. I think if you are going to have 3 snakes you are going to need 4 or 5ft high enclosure so all have the enough room.

Are you sure that's big enough for 2? I'm using that big of an enclosure for a single MD...
Sorry just sounds a bit small for 2 rather large carpets...

Only one in there ATM but I plan to keep two in there until or if they get too big, ones only 2 years ATM and I'm looking for a room mate now.

For 2 diamonds I wouldn't go with something smaller than around the 5ftHx4ftWx2ftD and even then I'd be skeptical about keeping 2 together in that size.
Maybe that's just me preferring more space, especially when keeping more than one in the same enclosure? dunno.

Ah cheers for clearing that up.
