I have a blue tongue in a 75gal and one in a 58 gal tank. The 75 is a 4 footer and the 58 is a 3 footer. I would say you would want a minimum of a 3 ft tank. Height isn't so much as inportant as footprint of the tank. They don't seem too climb too much so give him a tank with lots of floor room.

For a baby yes it would be fine. For an adult the min. tank I would recommend would be a 36"x18"x17" thats rough measurements to a 40 breeder.

I would put it in a bigger tank when it gets around 6-8 inches.

Well to save you money, as an adult you can put it in a 30 gal breeder, same demensions except for how tall it is, which doenst matter much.
