I have 2 hatchlings. Leopard pardalis pardalis babies. I am looking to get an enclosure big enough to house them inside untill they are big enough to be moved outside. How big do you think a terrarium (we were thinking of blacking out the sides) would have to be to house both untill that time?
We are having a difficult time keeping humidity in right now

I don't know how big it needs to be, but I can solve your humidity problem for you.

Check out "grow tents" on Amazon. They come in many sizes and are good closed chambers, holding heat and humidity.

Several members are using them, and they work well.

Here are a couple pictures.

If you're interested, I'll tag a member who can help you with the selection and setting it up. It's the most economical way we've found to make a closed chamber.

I built my own and then I found out about the grow tents- DUH! For a Leopard it makes sense not through a lot of money at enclosures they will grow out of, but with the grow tent you get the best of both. Low cost and high closed chamber value!
