Welcome to the forum Pete. Your choice of terrarium (size and shape), as well as orientation, are greatly affected by which species you intend to keep. I like to keep imitator in pairs in vertical 10 g tanks (or the smallest tall Exo-terra or Zoo Med terrariums). For 2 pairs I would consider a vertical 20 g high or the 18 x 18 x 18 inch (45x45x45 cm) Exo-terra/Zoo Med terrariums. If you've more specific questions, please feel free to start new threads in the terrarium section.

Welcome Pete. Sounds like you're on the right track. Imitators are a good choice to shart with thumbnails. You might also consider one of the many D. tinctorius morphs that are pretty affordable. I started with D. tinctorius azureus a few years ago and I still think they are great. You also can't go wrong with any of the D. auratus morphs or the D. leucomela. All these are fairly easy to keep and a pair would do well in a 20 gallon in the horizontal orientation. For the Imitators, I'd recommend the vertical conversion kits. Glad to have you.

Welcome Pete. You already have some great advice to go on.
