I agree w/the others...bigger is better...but also have something else to add. I would recommend an outside cage too. UV lights are okay if a herp absolutely HAS to be inside 24x7, but there's nothing like natural unfiltered sunlight.

My Ig's stay outside 24x7 at least 6 months of the year (I live in Texas) and sometimes more. Even in the winter here, I sometimes able to take them out for a sunny December bask. Even if your climate would not allow that much outdoor time, or if you don't have a backyard....it would be good to build a smaller outdoor cage for natural sun basks.

Hope it all works out for you both,
Rebecca
