I saw the ones to the left of Scott at the show. Very small, bless them.

I can only comment on the experience of a single Ackie, but he's been hyperactive since I bought him.

As for substrate, on the floor I use corn cob. Seems to work well. When he was little, if he panicked he'd dive into it!

In the tub I have a topsoil/sand mix for burrowing and moisture. It only needs spraying once a week or so.

Also, to help with shedding when little, I used to have a smaller tub filled with damp moss near the basking spot, to create a warm moist hide.

Nelson are those cork tiles you have on the back of your Viv ? Iv been after some of those for years.

I'm in the process of building 4.5ft x 2ft x 2.5ft (L.W.H), Hopefully it will house a pair someday.

@Herp_boi, I can see no water bowl in the tank. They do like to drink. Also get a stack built, at least while young, to give s/he some security. (I built mine out of cardboard Laughing )

GJ, yes they are cork tiles (the very cheap kind Embarassed ) from a local DIY store. But you'd be better off speaking to Rickezee, as the ones he has are clearly better quality.
