I'm planning on building an enclosure/vivarium for my diamond x jungle. My plans for right now are a 4'w x 4.5'-5'l enclosure with recessed lighting and sliding glass front.

Anyone have suggestions on what carpets like. Obviously it will have perches/shelves and plenty of climbing! I would love to see any set ups you all have custom or not! I mostly need help with the inside! Where/what to get? I want it to be the best it can be!

Thanks guys for whatever you've got! :)

you can halve the depth and still give him/her plenty of room.
Perches, hides, different elevation water dishes, and maybe a pothos (live plant)

Kyle nailed it. If you make it to deep it will just make it hard to clean the back of the cage without climbing into it. I made that mistake when i use to have Burmese pythons. Made a two level cage that each level was 8'L x5'D 3'H. Had to use a step stool to climb in the top to clean it. Major pain in the butt.
