whats a good enclosure for an adult carpet?

[asgrande]

i have a 75 gallon aquarium and i was just wondering if that would be big enough for a full grown diamond x jungle mix.

I use 4x2x2 foot viv for my carpet, not sure of the "gallon" size of it tho :)

If it's a good feeder, it'll outgrow that as a mature adult. Diamond Jungle is a Jaguar mix (most often) and those have their roots in Coastal Carpets, which aren't exactly small snakes.

Some Jags aren't great feeders and don't get that large, but most do. I have a female Diamond Jungle Jag that's 4 years old and still shedding every 7-8 weeks. She's still growing like a weed at that rate (about 7 1/2 feet now), but oddly enough she does prefer a relatively small tub to curl-up in over her choice of 2 large tanks.

A 75 gallon would work for a while, if not for a long time, provided it gets out for plenty of exercise. They do like to explore and are usually very active snakes. By the time it outgrows that, you'll have a much better idea of what your particular snake likes and will require as a home as it continues down the road to middle and old age.

The standard size cage for most adult carpets is a 4x2 enclosure. With the exception being for the bigger coastal females, they would need a bigger cage.

My female JCP has outgrown a 90 gallon even with perches and such. A 70 will do for now but she will outgrow it so plan on something bigger. Mine likes to roam alot so I am building a 6x4x2 arboreal style viv first week of April. If your sits in her hide all day you won't need anything quite that big. We need a pic here. Everyone with a carpet needs to post lotsa pics !!!
