Default Green iguana housing?

To what age can a green iguana live in a medium sized aquarium?

What are the dimensions? If you saying it's in a fishtank then it's not appropriate, Iggy's are aboreal so they need height to be able to climb.

Aye, you have to specify what a medium sized aquarium is really dude.

Ideally A green iggy over 2 years of age or 3 foot needs a good 6ftx4ftx2ft vivarium doubling or more over the next couple years and eventually ending up with a 5-6 ft iggy wanting a min space of 8ftx8ftx4ft [I say 4 deep rather than 6 as i am talking minumum which i think it is just as the other dimensions are imo.]

My Iggy is about 2 foot and she's in a tank 6x6x3 - obviously she will be able to live in here for a few years!
