60 gal would be OK for a while, but it will outgrow it fairly quickly. My Schniders is just over a year old and is already too big for the 75 gal "winter quarters" I set up for him when I got him in Dec. They seem to grow quickly untill they are big enough not to be eaten by most predators. Say 1 1/2 to 2 feet in length, then the growth slows down a bit.
