Ackie Enclosure Size & Sexing Ackie Hatchies

[Jesse_H]

Hi all.

Looking at getting a pair of ackies with view to trying to breed them in the future. I am looking at an enclosure 120cm long x 100cm high, would that house 2x ackies comfortably into adulthood?

Also, I want to get them at hatchies but want a male and a female - is there any way to sex them at that age? I hear head-size is a factor? Thanks!

I reckon 1, as they get to 70cm max.

Mate the enclosure would be a good size for a pair, they are difficult to sex until they are young adults. Usually if you want a pair it means buying multiple juvies and hoping for the best. Due to differing growth rates as hatchies it is best guess when they are very young.
