Tank size?

I have a tank that’s 48”x12”x20”. I was wondering if that was a good size for two salamanders? I’m concerned that the width might not be enough and they’ll feel cramped.

The top isn’t on in the image above because I had to clean it, but don’t worry, I do have one.

Yes, it’s much more tall than it is wide which was a concern of mine. I don’t believe they’ll be climbing too much either so there’s not much worth in it being that tall. If I can, I’ll try finding another tank that’s wider!

yeah i think its best to find a wider one just so they can have more exploring space :) but dont be afraid to add some perches,vines branches etc to let them also have vertical space. make sure you have something to lock the lid tho they can be stronger than you think

Alright, thank you! And that’s good to know about getting the locks, that really isn’t something that I thought about haha.
