Mine are both 2 years old and are 22" or there abouts, although they are mostly tail. People say 4x2x2 for a pair or a trio but go bigger if you can, I'm getting a 5x3x2 for mine so I have enough height to put 12" of substrate in as they do like to burrow lots, if you can get the substrate right They are super active and will use every inch of space you give them, climbing, digging, just general running around....

This might be out of context but there's an adult one at Vanishing World near Canterbury that has lost most of it's toes (not that this is the problem) and is generally looking very miserable as they can't shift him and keep reducing the price.

I'm hoping someone takes the poor chap soon.

when my bosc outgrows his 5x2x2 im thinking of getting 2 or a trio, the little research ive done has shown that 4x2x2 is fine but as with most bigger is better
for size comparison use an adult beardie or around 20 inches

Don't suppose you know if its male or female?? My male has a total of 3, maybe 4 toes, and 2 of them are totally bent. He has no toes at all on either front feet and one foot looks like a club. He gets around fine and tries his best to climb but is happy as larry, hes a calm as they come too. I wouldn't mind having another 'special' one....
