"are the iguans still managable to handle once they reach like the 4 foot mark?? cause they get like 5-6 feet, and i have no clue how i can lift sumthing like that lol,"

Well, that depends on a few things, such as how big are you, and not to sound sexist, but are you a male or female, as females are usually smaller than males, therefore less capable of handling a large iguana. Let's not turn this into a male vs. female debate, because i'm just trying to say that iguanas can get quite large, and when they do, some women get a bit scared, especially when their iguana is 20 pounds and impossible to control when handling. I'm also not trying to say that a woman can't handle a full grown iguana, but what I am saying is whoever is handling the full grown 5 or 6 foot iguana needs to be physically capable of holding onto it if it decides to start whipping, trying to bite and death rolling, because to drop an iguana can result in injuries. So, as long as you're not scared, physically incapable of handling a full-grown 6 foot lizard without dropping it, and don't think that once it reaches a size you don't feel you can handle any more that you'll want to get rid of it, then i'd say yes, you should have no problem handling an iguana of that size :)
