Just My $0.02 here:

depends on his age when you get him?

just for reference I got my kid at about 4" long 4 months back.

today he is just a tad over 15"

first habitat was a 20 high tank, that was ok for about 3 months.

before then I got a 65 gallon "Reptarium" at the local PetsMart
it's about 18" high by 3' x 3' not quite 3 foot but close to it.

for the first 6 -7 weeks I mostly kept him in his tank as he was so small....

now he spends at least an hour or two a day out of the reptarium to give him time to exersize and explore.....

darn if he dosent seem to want to sleep behind my kitchen garbage can .... I think he finds it a cool dark corner that smells like a "Bug Place"
