Yep, two years! I don't see them grow a lot but my friends tell me otherwise ahah! I will take pictures of them when I'll move, hopefully next month!

Maybe could find one at a dollar store cheap . Have an old ice chest that could work without the lid ? It would be insulated and help control the temp's maybe better. Whatever you use a dark color would make them feel more comfortable or something opaque. Also have whatever you use weighted down , if both are standing up on the same side it could tilt over.
Thank you for your suggestions and advices! I will keep them in mind! I don't think I can find something very deep, but in our hunting lodge we do have some kind of long rectangular container made out of fibre glass. Again, not very deep but at least they will have space.

Not really, I do keep it in my mind but I think I've looked into it enough for now.

Oooh that's clever! Thank you, I will be sure to test this idea!
