Mate severums get to just over 20cms at full size.

They would be pretty happy in a 4*15*18. I wouldn't really go any smaller than that. But they are pretty placid creatures so a huge tank isnt needed. As long as they have a pot to breed in and plenty of other hiding spots they should be fine.

I can give you their old breeding pot if you want it. If there isnt any pots they will just lay their eggs on a rock with a flat surface.

Yeh 4x15x18 should be big enough.You might have to be able to seperate them if the male wants to breed & the female doesn't.(our male ripped the female a new one.)
