Hi, o.k with a substrate tub underneath it offers a little more space, but these animals grow quite quickly when properly supported, which means you would need to rehouse in a short space of time, that can cause much stress (not to mention more expense and work building again), far better to start with the "adult sized" enclosure from the beginning.
If the monitor is already 18 inches in size its quite likely to be a sexually mature young adult.
Anyone can write a "caresheet", many of them are complete nonsense it some respects...
