Hi :) I'm planning on buying three hatchling Hermanns, one male two female, but I'm wondering how much space they will need as adults. I've heard for one it should be 3 ft by 1.5 ft minimum, but figured going here first would be a good idea :)

You can't tell sex of hatchlings. They pretty much all look female when young. Even temp sexed is not 100%. So, if it doesn't work out to be 1-2. Will you be able to seperate?
@HermanniChris can talk to you more about enclosure size

Thanks for your reply :) if they did turn it to be a different ratio, I could insert pieces of 4 by 8s ( I'm making my enclosure out of them ) and make 3 connected individual enclosures.

I'd been considering doing that anyway, but I like the idea of them being together constantly, as long as they're not fighting.
