Due to my lovely small royal getting bigger i need a new size tank for him. Any hints or tips on how i could get the correct size tank for him? i was told not to get him one too big because he can become stressed with all the space. how do i know what size to get?

if its too good to be true then it probably is... unless its royals, gotta have royals

My baby is in an LX36 viv and has been since I got her a few weeks ago. She's got three hides, one in the warm end, one in the middle, and one at the cool end. The one at the cool end is half-way up the viv, as I've got a corner 'wall' bit (actually for an aquarium), and I used that as banking, filled it with substrate, then put the hide on top. She spends a lot of time there, and it looks nice, too. Lots of plants covering everything as well so she can still hide when she's not actually 'in' one of her hides. She's been fine in it - there are no walls when they're out in the wild, just lots of places to hide, so if you re-create that, I'm sure you'll be fine
