I don't know anything about Rankins and don't want to pretend I do, but I can go ahead and tell you for Bearded Dragons. For a Beardie, I would say a 60 gallon. Somewhere around 4 feet long, 18" wide and like 16" tall I believe. I could be off on those. However, some people will say one adult can be housed in smaller ones, and I agree with some smaller Bearded Dragons, but a 60 gallon gives a nice amount of free space to roam around in.

The only thing I can tell you about Rankins is that you can keep them in a much smaller tank. Wish I could be of more help on that one. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Not sure about Rankins, but for regular inland bearded dragons, you need at least a 55 gal tank (4'x2'x2'). I expect you can keep two Rankins in that size of a tank or a bit longer (5'x2'x2') comfortably.

I understand that one adult rankins can be kept in a 20L....as they are only about 10-12 inches long.....bigger never hurt anything though.......I have a friend who has hers in a 40 breeder......the rankins loves it.....lots of room for him to roam.....some put inlands in 40 breeders.....but I put mine in 60L and my bigger ones are in larger tanks....48 x 18 x 18.
