Well, I know that one could live in a 35gallon size enclosure, but I havent really looked into them. Someone a long time ago on a different forum told me I should set o a paladrium for one in my 35. I never did though.

I'm sure you could find something on google though.
 
basically they need the choice of land or water. even better is too have tides. alhtough that can be difficult
 
had a juvy one in a 5 gal tank with about 3.5 inches of water in the tank with a sponge filter, i put added salt in the tank and some stones for him to skip on that would allow him to go up the water..fed him mosquito fish and blood worms..lost it due to a water change..
 
i have 5 small ones in a 10 gallon tank with about an inch and a half of water and plenty of dry ares 50/50 water (50%ocean water50%fresh water) saran wrap on 3/4 of the top of the tank to keep the humidity up intank filter and i feed them frozen bloodworms, live blackworms, market shrimp, frozen or live brine. and i have a 75 gallong tank 3/4 full with a dry habitat above driftwood and mangrove they seem to like to hang out on the driftwood
 
great set up. i saw one at the lps n they r just cool seem like they would be great. in a 45 how many could live given: the water is mixed good, enough land to water ratio is provided , and everything factors out?
