Why bigger

A bigger enclosure is not only more room. It is a longer gradient from the hot basking spot to the cool side, so the animal can choose its own temperature, and a UVB gradient from bright to shade. A small tank gets hot all the way through.

Height for climbers

Arboreal species (crested and gargoyle geckos, chameleons, tree frogs) use height more than floor: an 18 x 18 x 24 is a minimum for one adult crested gecko.
