sorry for all the questions.

Peppa is currently in a 9l RUB. I'm going to be setting up a 2ft viv for her. With a good few " of substrate. And plenty of foliage, hides, branches I wanna get her eating regularly first. But do you think she would be able to go in then or would it still be too big? Shes around 15-16" at the moment.

I think she will be fine in a 2 footer, like you say if you are going to kit it out with plenty of foliage and hiding places she will feel secure, iv kept hatchlings in 30cm x30cm terrariums before when others would say it's too big but they have done just fine!

Yes, I agree with RedHog. I keep my hoggy in a viv which most people would say was too big, but with plenty of hides and foliage he is absolutely fine. Like you say, it's a good idea to get her eating regularly first though.

love the look of these. Would they be suitable? Not sure what size would be best? Any thoughts? http://www.bluelizardreptiles.co.uk/housing/vivariums/9632100002248
