hey guys just saw the bit where you were working out litre / gallon size for the tank... Thought you might like the formula for calulating it..

Length (cm) x Depth (cm) x Height (cm) = Total

Then....

Total / 1000 = Litre capacity

A 10G tank is still more then enough for hermit crabs. A 10G tank should work out to have dimensions of 60cmx30cmx30cm, which i would say could hold 4-5 hermit crabs with ease. What i was told to use at a petshop was chicken wire walls inside the tank. Basically get a roll of chicken wire trim the edges so as to remove sharp bits and then place it in the tank so the hermit crabs can climb.

breed your lizards....look after them well...let them buy their own feed by selling their offspring, then save the profit & invest in them
...within the year ..you should have enough to get a smaller one ,like hope is in.... its a good start...!
it all takes time!!!
