Honestly if it's only 2 weeks old you will want to use a tank. If you are stuck for supplies and need something smaller a critter keeper or plastic beta (chinese fighting fish) bowl will work well, and they aren't expensive. At that age they are VERY suseptible to over heating, being too cool, and dehydrating because they are so tiny. If you use the cage make it so that only the bottom 1-1.5' is being used. This way you can more easily control his climate and make sure he is eating enough.
Some keep chams in that size cage from 3 months on. I kept my panther in a tank until she was 5 months old (for a male i'd say 3-4 months).
