It will be to small long term and terrible for holding any heat in .
just my opinion .... |

|  | Geek Subscriber | | | | | As Auzlizardking said, get a click clack for it, that's a more appropriate size for a hatchy.
I disagree with what many have said in this thread though. That size enclosure is not necessarily too small for adult childreni. I have two adults, both around 60cm (4-5 & 6yo), and an enclosure of the dimensions you described would be adequate.
I also disagree that the glass is by default bad. I know many think this but I don't necessarily agree. I would be providing heat with a heat mat for childreni, as opposed to globes. Heat retention would be much more of an issue if you were using globes, however. Provide it with adequate hiding spots and a heat mat (on a thermostat!) and it'd be fine. | | |
