Yes you can - my V. exanthematicus bred in a 4x2x2 twice! You must have good deep substrate, clean water for them, and lots of live bugs make them happy...
cheers,

20-30" of dirt? I dont think thats all nessecary to breed them..... If you just want to house one, I would go with a 6Lx2Wx3H and use about a foot of dirt.
Like Markb said, hes got records of them breeding in a 4x2x2.. Savs are not that large, most of the really large savs are just obece from improper temperatures and diet.

Really??, I was on a site and he had his for 4 years and said it was only 21 inches...
Can you tell me what factors affect the growth(well I guess heat and food eh?).
And is it bad for them to not reach full size?
-Thanks

Heat and food. Yep, that's pretty much it. I don't know if its bad, but they are BUILT to eat and grow and reproduce fast. Its what they do. So I would be surprised if stunting them was good for them.
Best of luck,
Jeff F.
