worried about growth / enclosure size

New owner here! I purchased him at an expo about 3 weeks ago. I was told he was under a year but I’m not sure exactly how many months. I weighed him 2 weeks ago and today and he’s only gained 1g, going from 45 -> 46g. I’m concerned he’s not eating.

I’ve been getting lots of mixed messages of enclosure size for this age/size. I’ve done so much research and hear so many different things. He’s currently in a 18”x30 bio active enclosure. He seems very happy in the branches but now I’m wondering if it’s too big and he’s stressed.

Is it too early to worry? I know when they’re getting used to an enclosure they can take a bit to warm up and eat, but it’s been 3 weeks. I don’t want to move him again to another enclosure if it’ll do more harm than good! Any words of advice? Suggestions?
