YES they do get HUGE. They will actually get to around 5' np when full grown..some even more in length. As for housing... You do neeed to provide a large enclosure for him also. At this size though you could get away with something like a 29 long. it prolly won't last though and you need to upgrade the sizing as the iglet grows. The iggy should be able to turn around in the cage without having to bend it's tail at all. Also the cage should be at least twice as long as the iggy...longer is even better. Once the iggy gets to be a good size... cage size should be even more roomy for it. As an adult..plan on custom building a cage for it.

Make sure that you handle the iglet quite a lot to keep it tamed down. Last thing you want is an iggy that is huge and not tame so to say.
Some of the things you need to provide for this iglet are :
large caging
UVB lighting [ without such the iggy will get MBD ]
basking light
humidity
daily fresh greens [ never feed any type of animal protein ! also dust with vitamin.calcium supplement. AND make sure that the food provided is a 2:1 ratio of calcium : phospherous }
fresh water [ they love to poop in their water btw ]
climbing access to a perch to hang out on
Be prepared to get scratched [ long sleeves come in handy]
Iggy's have teeth that are like shards of glass
They tail whip [ This HURTS !]
Males can get very nasty when going into breed also. [ usually about the third year]
ANYTHING else ya need to know atm?
