Please...I need a little help

I have a couple questions about a BD enclosure. I have been told that u should have a baby dragon in a small tank such as a 20/30 gallon and switch to a bigger one later on as it grows. Like minimum 45 g breeder but more is appreciated if u have the space. I have also been told that you can have the baby in a 45 g tank and just put a divider in the tank and open it up more as it becomes needed? If u were to do the later of the too what kind of a divider should you use, and at what age should you open up the enclosure for more space. Which one of these is generally the best route to go, as so my future beardie can be comfortable without causing him/her any stress. I have been told so many things that iam becoming very confused about what to do. I want to figure this out before i buy my dragon. They were saying it will save on expense of having to keep buying different tanks/enclosures. Im not too worried about this at this time. Just want to do whats best for the animal. I have been getting the run around and really cant find anything on this topic. I have a bearded dragon book, caresheets nothing in either.
Thanks for your time

Either way works. If you get a 6-8" baby, putting it into a 20-35Gal long tank will be fine till they reach about 15" then you can move then directly into the adult tank (min. 4'x2'x2')
