I keep 1.1 Taiwans in separate 260 gallon Reptarium cages. The 260g Reptarium measures 72 high x 30 wide x 30 deep [meas.in inches]. I have climbing branches, live plants, two water bowls and hide spots in the top half and bottom of the cages. Each cage also has a misting nozzle hooked up to a misting system that sprays them twice a day Mon-Fri for 5 minutes each cycle. Flourescent 4 foot two bulb fixture provides the lighting above each cage along with a 150 watt infrared incandescent for winter localized basking spot - no basking spot in summer. These cages have worked fairly well for me, but I'm going to be retiring them in the next few months in favor of more sturdy cages that I'll construct myself. On another note, I would house yours separately. As was already mentioned, the feeding response is incredible with these guys. I housed mine together initially, but ended up separating them at about 1 1/2 years of age because it was getting too difficult to keep them apart during feeding.
