Yes there is. Every one that is under 3 months of age can fit in such a cage. Once they are older than that, most need a larger home. By the time they're one year old, none of them can fit in that size cage unless they're dead and stuffed for display. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but that's the way it is with large lizards. You're going to need a much larger cage if you want to care for a tegu.

Important disclaimer: I do not condone, nor do I recommend killing and/or stuffing a lizard for display!!!
