i have another question that might rule out the big tank until the ackie is bigger....

right now i keep my western fence lizard in a 3' x 2' x1.5' enclosure and i was wondering if the ackie would be okay in that until it was big enough for the big tank. it doesnt allow for a deep substrate because the ventilation holes on one side are only about an inch and a half up the side but that would be okay until the ackies is bigger, right? i have a pic of it....
