How big should be my terrarium?

I wanna buy my first terrarium for an auriculatus .
My idea was to buy a 45x45x90 cm (EU) that is 18x18x36 in (US).
Is that right or should be smaller/bigger?

Asking advice for my first Gecko

Hi! I’ve always been fascinated by reptiles, particularly geckos, so I’ve decided that I would like to build a terrarium and buy one.
I’ve never had experience with terrarium neither with geckos, so I’m here to ask some advice.
With some research I ended up loving the gargoyle geckos and his pattern and colours. I also read that they are omnivore so I could feed them fruit and insects, but I also read there are some food mix that already contains insects and would be great cause would be hard for me to keep insects at home but is something I can fix. I have a budget of 400€ (450$) (I would love to get a red gecko) and I would love to make a tropical terrarium. Not sure if that’s enough but eventually I could wait and save a bit more money.
I don’t have much time to look after it cause I work from 7 am to 7 pm.
Sorry if my English is not good but I tried my best lol.
Every advice is appreciated. Please tell me if there is something I need to know before buying all the stuff!

I’m a rookie searching for advice to avoid common mistakes

Hi! I’m thinking about getting a gecko, I’ve never had reptiles or a terrarium before.
I’m trying to understand if I could get one with my budget and some advice for rookies like me
My budget is 400€ (460$).
The species that really interest me are the ciliatus, auriculatus, phelusma (I saw that these are rookie friendly).
I really love the uroplathus but I don’t think would be a great choice.
I was thinking about making a vertical bio terrarium with automated climate and humidity control
I don’t have an urge so I could wait months before setting up all the things and let the terrarium cycle.
Sorry if my English is not perfect I’m not used to use Reddit or other social in English
All advice are appreciated!
