Hopefully I will know by the end of the week if I can get the money to by a snake, so I figure it's time to start asking a few questions.
Firstly. I hear people recommending the use of Click Clack containers to house hatchlings. Can anyone tell me why it is not a good idea to house a hatchling in an "adult" size enclosure?
I can't see anything wrong with it providing you provide a suitable sized hide box.
Secondly. An artical at www.mark.org.au recommends an enclosure size of 2m(long) x 70cm(wide) x 1m(high) for a Diamond Python. My question is: is 1m high enough for an adult Diamond Python?
I like the idea of using a heat lamp at each end to make the snake exercise.

Any tips will be appreciated.
