petco has their deal going on now, so 40 bucks for a 40 gallon is a steal. my little guy lived in a 10 gallon his first month and is now in a 40. colombians grow slow, so that will be big enough for awhile. add cypress and one of those under tank heat pad to keep it humid. zoomed and exoterra have awesome all in one uva/uvb and heat bulbs, but they are costly so add that to your budget. go to a lawn and garden store and buy a big basking rock for cheap. a 40 is definitely big enough for now. youre going to spend some money getting everything set up in the beginning, but after that all you really have to worry about is food which is cheap, considering tegus will eat a lot of what you eat (eggs, tuna, lean beef and turkey and chicken.. lean beef occasionally as a treat) and crickets and mealorms etc.,are super cheap. but the lights are the most expensive things in owning a reptile in my opinion. im glad you reconsidered.
