| I admit I don't know anything about them but I would have thought they would need a bigger tank to be honest, something like a 4ft. I think the issue with lizards is that they need a good depth to their vivs in order to turn around properly. |

I don't think they grow to quite 2 foot.
If you got the other rep photos danny has posted a link to an apparently good bluey caresheet. |

According to here a 36" 36" is good. I think this is he most well written care sheet I have ever seen for any animals *_* or a 36" by 18" seems like the minimum.
I would love one of these I keep seeing pictures and keep falling more and more in love but I would have to get over my fear of bugs *_* sorry for butting in >.< they are fascinating creatures though. |

Indeed, i thinkwhen i do get a lizzard after i move out of my mums (won't let me have one becase of all the bugs) i may well get a bluey. |

Your so lucky, the both of you Danny's. My sister, mum and myself have wanted a lizard for years and years now but haven't got one because of the bugs either. I think I can get over my fear of bugs if I can pick them up with tweezers and they don't move to fast lol. Maybe when I move out I can get one and make my boyfriend feed the lizard the bugs although that is unlikely as well since he doesn't like bugs much either XD
A bit off topic but have you seen the albino bluey? I think it's an albino one anyway lol I would love to know why it lacks pigment everywhere except the tongue. |

I wouldnt keep an adult in anything under 4ft really. They are big(ish) lizards and are very active so obviously the larger the cage the better.
Mine is currently in a 4ft viv. |

| a 4x2x2 would probably be ok, althought they would benefit with a larger space. I read they average around 18inhes, is this about correct. |

| Maybe it depends where you measure and they won't all grow to the same length and I guess gender differences are also a factor. |
