So Blazes tank is here tomorrow --- he is roughly 8 inches long---- 8 weeks this weekend or so --- he will be a year the week of July 25th- how big or old do I need for him to be to put in this 120 gallon tank --?? I dont want to over whelm him w/ how big of an enclosure-- Hiccup went into the 120 gallon at 11 months of age--

I agree, if you have your lighting all dialed in and there are some hides and things to climb around on he is likely to enjoy the larger space right away.
Ok so I will be getting the tank put together this weekend - he pretty much has most everything- I couldnt find the rock I was looking for I am thinking they dont make it anymore - need to get the tile cut for it --- and I had to re order the UVB fixture I ordered the wrong size so that will be here this week too - he is shedding again - his tail and head - here is a pic from yesterday
He loves his log - he sleeps on it and he can over look the food bowl w/ the roaches in it --

Hes doing good --- I weighed and measured him yesterday and hes 17 grams and is roughly 8" long -- hes eating good and still skittish but hes a baby so I dont mess w/ him too much and my hand is in the tank every day several times a day - so he will get used to that eventually -- have not had him not even a week yet - but the relocation doesnt seem to effect his eating - he ate squash yesterday along w/ his greens and BSFL -- plus around 8 dubias -- I try feeding a second feeding in the afternoon but hes not interested - he must be eating enough in the morning -- today I mixed the greens and bugs after I fed the greens first - he was in the bowl eating both -- as long as I can keep getting him to eat those greens I will be happy - had I known this technique w/ Hiccup as a baby I would of done that - Hiccup will not eat greens and it is so frustrating -- and I think he has gone into brumation -- he is sleeping all the time and has not come out of his hide - he was awake this morning but did not come out - I stick my head in the tank and look in on him in his rock -- he just looks at me-- hes not gonna be happy w/ me cuz I am going to be putting him in water to see if he will drink - I dont want him dehydrated - I will do this periodically --
