Alright so my trio of Red Ackies are coming in Pro Exotics.
I have setup my enclosure to do a "dry run". I plan on keeping them here until they are 4-41/2 months old them they will put put into there adult enclosures.

Here is a picture if anyone would like to make some recommendations I would greatly appreciate it. The glass will be covered with black background to give them 100% privacy.

20-gallon long tank

Substrate is a organic garden soil and sand mix (soil:sand 2:1), added water till it clumps up but no water comes out.

Temps range from 140'F-80'F..Lights will be kept on 24/7 (I plan to keep them hot and feed them a lot)

Multiple hides and a stack for a nice temp gradient while basking.

and of course a water bowl.
