well, after reading all of what you said about parasites, don't you think it would be a bit paradoxical to put 30 satanics in a single enclosure? i mean, if 1 of them manages to carry a parasite in (not every parasite is covered by panacur/flagyl/ivermectin), dont you realize you risk infecting 30 others, all of which you would have to preventatively treat in that case after discovering the parasites? i mean it's not terrible to keep animals in groups, i do it myself, but you could be setting yourself up for disaster, no matter how big your enclosure is.

just my 2 cents.
