Am I the only one who thinks this, or are others also driven crazy by people saying "You just need a 10 gallon tank"? It doesn't seem to give them space. When you add at least two hides, calcium dish, water dish, there's not a whole lot of free space left. Mine seem much less stressed when I moved them into a twenty gallon. Ten gallons seem like torture.

If you only have one animal, especially a young (small) one, I think a 10 gal is ok to start with. But if you had both of yours in the same 10 gal tank, I can see that being too crowded. General rule of thumb is 10 gal per animal, keeping in mind that a "long" is different than a "high". And also that rules of thumb are only guidelines to be adapted as owners see fit.
