Albigs are a large species, they are only similar in some outward adaptations and features to bosc monitors.
As far as caging goes from bosc to albigs, the cages and food must be alot larger and more. They are very very powerful animals, they would eat most bosc monitors if given a chance.
If you are asking these questions I guarrantee you should not get one, my guess is that you dont know much if at all anything about monitors, or how to keep them properly. Maybe you should do alot of reseach and keep small species before trying to keep something that can put you in the hospital.
Yes albigs get big, try up to, and over 7ft.
