Diamond hatchling enclosure - too big?

Hi all

My daughter will be getting her new male Diamond hatchling today and I have built a new enclosure for him. The enclosure is 600H, 600W, 400D and will be heated at one end by a infra-red globe with basking spot and will have a heat gradient , uv, hide, etc. Mid-temp around 28c.

My question is, will this enclosure be too big for a 10 week old hatchling. I have read about them getting stressed if in too big an enclosure. We do have a click clack type arrangement we could use, but if we need to do this, how big/old is enough to go into the big one?

Cheers

Rick
