Coastal Carpet enclosure

hey,
i just wanted to know how old or how big should my coatal be when i put him into his big enclosure (4 foot high 3 foot long). the enclosure that he is being kept in now is 3 foot long and 2 foot high and seems to be going fine in its just i dont want to rush him into it, i just need another enclosure for beardies and thought the one he is in now would be perfect for them.

Cheers Shane

you could put him in it whenever really you just need to make sure he has lots of hides to make him feel secure
and youd probably be better off saying how big and old he is now

There is no problems with a small animal being in a large enclosure, providing that you provide the correct environment for them.

Plenty of enrichment and hides. and good thermal gradient

No issues.

Just provide a good basking site, and plenty of enrichment and that is it.
