 Need Information Newbie to plated lizards

i adopted a plated lizard from petco..... It’s tail had been broken off at the tip..... Very Health little creature and very loving from what I see this fair..... I have it in a 20 gallon tank..... It is still a young lizard from what I have been told..... It is about 10 inches in length and about a half inch wide.... Please can someone tell me about how large it will be full grown.... I believe it to be a Yellow throated plated lizard...... Also can someone please explain to me why it seems to have flaps of skin running along it’s sides...... Is there is special information that I should know..... Thanks ahead for any information you give.....
