60 is what i have for him for now if i do get him, then i guy from work is gonna build me a 6' high x 41/2' wide x 4 1/2' deep enclosure should be plenty, guy at the show says i got 2 years anywyas tell he gets past 2 feet mark
 
the 60 will be ok bro till he gets to about 10, but make sure you give him the water basin climbing branches and plenty of hides.
 
I've had one for about a year now. Bruce is maybe a foot long, but what you have to realise is that he's pretty much two thirds tail, heh. I have him in a six foot fish tank with sand mixed with topsoil for the substrate and lots of bits of wood for him to climb on. I've found they like to dig a lot. He has a large kitty litter box to swim in. Feed them the standard reptile fare of creepy crawlies - crickets, cockroaches, locusts etc and you can't really go wrong. I also give him a little cat food. Apparently some like a bit of grated carrot and spinach as well. He has a hotspot of about 35-40 degrees and U.V.

I haven't really handled him much, so he is quite skittish. If you do get one and want to try and tame it then make sure you hang on to it really well as they move like lightning and holy hell can they jump!
 
yeah thats what im afaired of even after i get him tamed and he stays on my shoulder maybe he might bolt and i cant catch him but i see alot of vids on youtube to where the owner would give him food out side of the cage then he would run back into it like he knows his home, yeah my buddy from work just told me today that he can do it all he needs is the plans so i might by some or try to write some up eh we will see in a few months ,

i was thinking of having the end of it full of water like 4 - 5 inch deep with a lil waterfall at the end with branchs going over and make it look really nice, but not sure how i can do that,
