How fast does a hatchling grow?

I'm sure feeding has a lot to do with it. Right now he's in a 10 gallon tank to keep in the humidity but I'm sure he'll out grow that in less than a year.

I plan to move him into a cement mixing tub as the next step up...but just trying to do some space planning for the future.

Actually a 10 gallon is smaller than a lot of us recommend for a baby, but figure in general it will add a couple inches a year for a couple years then slow down. Yours may vary, but it works as a general planning number I think (and I am just guessing here!)

Yeah I know it's small but he's tiny and young (less than a month). I was planning on moving him out in three months. The tub he will be going into is 3'x2' and hopefully that will keep him for a year or two.
