My Mayan would have been well over six feet if he hadn't lost a foot of tail as a baby. Also, I almost adopted a male about a year ago who was over six feet and had also had a tail injury.

I would say the biggest reason we don't usually see iggies that long in captivity is that so many lose a good bit of their tails when they are young and these never grow back completely.
