I don't know about 22 gal. (there is a 20 gal.) but 55 gallon
is a foot wide (like most tanks) and four feet long, not sure
how tall it is but well over a foot. What Nepenthes are you putting in
the terrarium?
I have a xmastersiana which is a small cutting, and an unknown
given to me by some friends which is a 2 year old cutting.
As I see it, in a greenhouse or growing free these
neps can get to be very big plants, but people grow them in
confined spaces in tanks and keep cutting them back to fit the tank.
So its more a case of making the plant fit the tank, than getting a
tank big enough for the plant. I'm thinking that the higher the tank the
better, to give the plant more space.
