Baby Cage Size

[MortiMarie]

Hi everyone,
I know there are a lot of threads on this, and I have skimmed them, but I'm looking for a more current consensus haha. I'm looking into cage sizes for a baby/juvenile Panther. I was originally planning to go ahead and get a 24x24x48 and try to segment it into a more appropriate size for a baby, but honestly I am SO not handy, nor do I really want to deal with that haha. I also like the idea of having a smaller cage as an outside cage for nice days. Anyways! I'm looking at a 16x16x30, would that be a safe size for a baby to hunt and thermoregulate? I'm also planning on cup feeding, if that helps. If this size works, about how long do you think he could live in it without cramping? I'm definitely not looking to cut corners on cost; I quickly realized how expensive this hobby is thanks.

I have a juvenile veiled and realized rather quick how much he likes to climb, I bought the ReptiBreeze chameleon kit (medium size not the deluxe led) due to the fact he could grow into it before I had to get a bigger cage and wouldn't have to spend too much more when it came to adding more décor. He normally stays on the upper 3/4 of the cage which is perfect for my set up with the live plants at the bottom. I haven't really invested in any type of perch yet but plan on it with in a couple of days.

That looks great! The medium is the 16x16x30, right?
