Size Tank... 
mine were 2 weeks old when i got them, and by the time they were a month old, i had to go to the 40 gallon tank. as for the lighting, having a uvb light is important to have on any reptile, because it helps them absorb calcium, digest their food, as well as several other things, but the biggest reason, is that they can develop mbd (muscular bone disease) which is very bad. i rescued an iggie that didn’t have uvb, and you could not tell the difference between soft tissue and bones on the x rays, and his calcium levels were almost 0. you need 3 supplements, calcium, vitd3, and w/o vit d3. calcium every feeding, vit d3 once a week, and w/o d3, every other day. look back through some of the old posts, there is alot of valuable info in them...
