You could use a 3ft x 2ft x 2ft or a 4ft x18" x 2ft (w,d,h)

My vivs are 34" x 30" x 18" which 7 sq ft of floor space.

Also very important to get a great basking spot, but without over heating the whole viv.

I have mine in a 48x15x18 Viv which is OK. But I'd prefer a 4x2x2 for him though due to how active he is. Unfortunately space is tight at the mo, so this will have to wait.

[herp_boi]

how about a 5"x2"x2" (l,w,d) "=foot
lol

p.s a nice high basking spot around 125f-130f
with a cold end at 75f? hows that sound

that's good Nick, although make sure it can bask at lower temps too (build that stack )

ok.how long do they take to become adult size.
also he/she takes 4-5 medium cricks every 3 days is this too much much or should i give him/her more and more often.although he/she wont eat if he/she has had enough.

If your able to build one that big GO FOR IT! Your Ackie will only appreciate the space. Also try to make the Viv as interesting as possible, It keeps his little brain occupied.

This is mine:



Its changed since then, but you get the jist.

And a picture of the owner:



Currently 22" (56cm), overweight but happy.
