6 feet wide x 4 feet deep is wonderful for an adult Arg. B&W. As for height, since tegus don't really climb just work around the heating, lighting, and substrate requirements.

As for a baby, since that baby will grow like a weed it's good to start out with something that will last a little while. I've kept baby tegus in Neodesha 3-foot slanted cages, so around 3 feet wide x 18 inches deep would work nicely. For a while. But in no time at all you'll be introducing your tegu to the big cage.
