Welcome to HerpCenter!
A good start would be our caresheet

As you will see the 75 gallon tank will only be good for a short while before you have to have something much larger!

Re: Yet another newbie
Thank you everyone for the warm welcome
Yes..I am aware that my initial setup will be temporary..and that would be my first question...how long before he outgrows the 75 gallon tank?
Thanks

Re: Yet another newbie
Welcome to HCN. Glad to have you with us. Growth rates vary on almost any reptile. Depending on their care. Often WD's they will reach 18 inches in the first year. So I wouldn't put too much work into the 75 gal enclosure.
