I would personally say to keep a hatchling in a RUB about the size of a shoebox. These allow enough space for a warm hide and a cool wet hide and also milk bottle tops for calcium and water etc. Hope this helps.

these tubs are the best available and the perfect size for new borns. not too big to overwhelm them, not to small either.

Default hatchling tubs

Best size you can use and what most use on here is the large vented braplast 3lt size! they are good until about 5-6 months before you move them up to a bigger size or small viv, you can get them from cornish crispa at the bottom of the home page of the forum.
