When should I upsize cages for babies?

I am considering putting 1-2 month old Panthers(aprox 1 inch STV:eek:) in (seperate) 10"d x 24"t x 18"w screen enclosures but I am scared that is too big. I have them in 3 seperate 10 gal. aquariums for the moment. The glass is drilled on the bottom and sides for airflow/drainage but I would rather use all screen just to be safe. Should I build some smaller all-screen cages, if so what size?

Thanks,
Dustin

You can move them whenever you want but the problem is for the babies to find food. I usually wait until they're on 2-week crickets, or slightly smaller, for the screen cage move. Any crickets smaller than that and I feel like I'm feeding the spiders in the house more than the baby chams.
 
At about 2 months or so (depending on the species), mine go into a small instacage which is approx. 12" x 12" x 14" and they seem to do very well there.
