Minimum height for enclosure

I know about the maximum height of an enclosure for terrestrial Ts, but what about a minimum?
I saw an acrylic enclosure that was 12×16×6. I was not sure how well that height would work for an adult T. One problem area might be that any corkbark might have to be lower down in the substrate to make enough room in case the T wants to get ontop, unless it is placed so that there is no space on top to climb.

Any thoughts?

In general they will adapt but 6" seems like not a lot of leg room
