new here and new to Ts. Was out riding dirt bikes and a Arizona Blond T walk was walking under my trailer so I picked it up and was taking it to a buddy of mine as he has a few and I talk the wife into keeping it and my wife and daughter love it now.
It is a male so we are expecting it to die in a month or so because I guess it was migrating. Talked to my buddy about releasing it because of this and he said no, it life is prolonged with us if we take care of it right so we kept it.

Fast forward a month and we bought a Mexican Fire Leg also and love it. Now my wife is actually looking at different kinds of Ts so we can get 1 more.

Both Ts are in separate glass enclosures @ 10 gallons with a hiding place and water dish. the floor is about 3-4 inches high. The Blond is VERY active and always moving. and the Fire Leg is most of the time sitting outside the hiding place but uses it for an hour or so every day.

Hopefully gonna have one more soon but that's about it for us, 3 is enough.

I am good with 4. I got them in 10 gallon tanks each and where I have them I got no more room.
Basically they are in my dinning room / kitchen kind bar counter. I told my Wife and daughter its so they don't put garabage on the counter now so its cleared off for the tanks.
I am wondering if 10 gallon tanks are to big. I see everyone has them in smaller enclosures.
Should I put them in 5 gallon? I don't want to go to small.
