Best size enclosure?

I need a second opinion if you would please. I received three young veiled's yesterday, 2 males, 1 female, all 8 weeks old. I'm thinking of moving one male to a separate enclosure because he is slightly bigger and dominant. Here's the question of which enclosure to move him too;

A) A ten gallon tank

B) A 24x24x38 screen enclosure

ps. I'm wondering if the second option is too big for him...

Thank you in advance
 
if your training to cup feed i dont see anything wrong with b. i threw my 3mo male into a 24x36x48 and he loved it.
 
In my opinion if I had to choose between a 10 gal tank and a screen cage I'd go with the screen.

My cham was 2 months (or less) when I put him in an 18x18x36 screen but I cup fed.

He looked miniature in it but he survived :D

I'd just keep a close eye on him and make sure he's eating, etc..
 
Thank you for the advice to all, much appreciated! Today he shall get his own place. It will be quite a large bachelor pad for him, decked out with all the latest. I'm also going to order two more enclosures today for the other two. I've read it's ok to leave them together for a while, but after the last couple of days, I agree with Bucky that they should all have their own place. Thanks again to everyone who responded.
