Tank size for a goldie?

[Goldie]

Hey

I posted a while ago about my goldie trying to eat its egg... well, I managed to cover it and now it's hatched
I'm going to keep this one because it hurt too much when I gave away my last 2 hatchlings

But... Now I have to buy a tank. The parents are currently in a 45x45x60cm terrarium.
I was wondering, for the hatchling, will it be okay in a 30x30x45cm terrarium? (It will need to be an okay size for when he/she is fully grown too)

Is this an okay size? I don't want huge tanks filling up my room but I don't want to cramp the little chap/chapette.

Thanks x

That will be fine for the first 9 months maybe 12 depending on how well it is fed and its rate of growth.

After that you want to go with something that suits the final adult size better. Something along the lines of twice the TL cubed is a good starting point for arboreal critters, of course larger is always better.

My adults are in 30.5cm wide x 61cm deep x 61cm tall enclosures.
