What size do you move hatchies

I have heard a lot of keep your hatchies in click clacks and on the other hand move straight into a normal enclosure.
Whats people opinions on both sides.

as far as snakes are concerned i will always keep my hatchys in tubs for at least the 1st year of life it is just much to easy for say a hatchling carpet to escape an a cage i would house an adult in

plus in tubs i can give the hatchys access to a 30c basking spot at all times for theyre 1st year of life

I believe They should be kept in tubs until a decent size,.
They feel more succure in smaller spaces,.

Iknow when I got my very first snake the ppl I bought it from said 'make sure you keep it in this container until it gets a bit of size to it',. and I looked at the container and the size of the snake and I thought thats cruel, so I moved it into a bigger setup that I had already had ready for it,. and It didnt want to eat ,.. so I ended it up putting it back into its original container and it ate straight away,..

I agree with Kenshin I think they should be kept in tubs for the first year,... but everyone has their different opinions
