No offence meant but it sounds like you may need to do a little more research before you jump into this. They get 6 feet long and close to 20 pounds. They can sometimes be dangerously aggressive. With proper care they live a long time. I have seen reports of one ig that lived to be 29 years old. This is a major lifelong commitment. They are not an inexpensive pet to keep. They have very specific dietary requirements, they need a habitat the size of a small room (an aquarium ain't gonna cut it!) special UV lighting and a way to keeep them at tropical temperature. Be prepared for them to take over your LIFE! People her joke about being Ig Slaves but thats really about the size of it. Don't get me wrong they are wonderful animals for the right people. However I do occassionally wonder if it's because we are special or just plain crazy LOL!
