misc. questions

I have 3 snakes, a ball, brb and red tail, all males. I am looking to buy a 3 cage shelving system from repti-cages something similar.

My questions - would a 4 ft x 2 ft x 1.5 ft cage be enough for each snake? Also, should the humidity/temp be the same on all 3?
Thanks in advance!

Cages that size would be alright for the ball, a little snug for the rainbow but too small for the redtail, atleast as an adult. i would recommend building your own cages, you could have one big one for the red tail and since you want the on top of each other the other cages would have to be the same dimensions, the best way to get around having a ball in a cage the same size as the boa would be to make dividers in the other cages(i make mine removable in case i want the extra space later on). sorry if thats a little confusing but it does work pretty well if you have some handy skills with cage building. good luck!

Okay...so here is what I am deciding to do:

I am building three cages, different sizes so I can stack them.

Red Tail - 6x6x4 feet on bottom
Ball - 2x2x4 feet on top
Rainbow - 4x4x2 on top

Are those dimensions suitable for each snake?
Thanks again
