My L. Parahybana was 4 inches when I got him. He's molted twice in 3 months. He's now 7 inches. And still growing. He is currently in a 10 gal. aquarium. 20x11x13. I am just wondering the recommended tank size for such a big T. I want him to have room to move around. Am open to any suggestions. Thanks.

This is Pinky BE before his last molt.

10 gallon is fine,if it were a big female that would be calling that cage home for the next 8-10yrs then I would recommend a 20 long but ya know unfortunately he won't be around that long.

I keep my big girl T. stirmi in a 40 gallon. She is a solid 9.5- 10 inches. For big/ bulky T's just make sure you have tons of substrate so that the space between the substrate and the tank lid isn't much more than their legspan. I don't keep mine on quite this much substrate but she is not overly prone to climbing so I don't worry. I would put your LP in a 20- 40 gallon tank with lots of substrate and maybe even plant it up. But it will be ok in a 10 gallon for a bit.

personally i say use a 40 breeder or the rare 50 breeder if you can.. slightly shorter in length.. but its like fish. an animal shouldnt have to make a 50 pt turn to pace its tank XD i believe there should be 3-4 inches extra for them to move around especially with decor.. bur preferably make your own in my book..

Id say go for it! If u have the room and sub. By all means. Very few of mine burrow but those that do get 2-3x dsl if possible.. and maybe a false bottom of you know how to or isos to keep down on possible mold.you get with deep sub... im about to start working on a false bottom with isos... should be "fun"
