Quick answer
Hatchlings can start in a small 10-gallon or a large tub-style setup, but adults should have at least a 20-gallon long and ideally a 40-gallon breeder or larger.

Growing up
A small starter setup makes it easier for a hatchling to find food and stay warm. Move up once it is eating well, usually within the first year.
Adults
A larger footprint gives space for a warm side, a cool side, and a humid hide without crowding. More space also lets you separate the humid area from the dry area.
