BHP setup

I'm planning an enclosure for a pair of BHP's, Whats sort of size will it need to be, Should it be divided in the middle, to keep them apart until breeding season. I was also thinking about using underfloor hides. Any thoughts?

No, I think one side is the hot end, and one side the cold. The divide doesn't go all the way back 2-3 inch gap from memory (I think)

BHP imo need 5x2x2 ft although they prefer the floor area then the height so robs are an ideal size!

From the research I did on these guys it was advisable not to house them together as one may eat the other.
