I personally don't have first hand experience with black throats, but my friends do and I have done much research on them (my dream lizard). If you are planning on having your room be its play/living room, be prepared for it to be absolutely trashed constantly. Dirt everywhere, scratches in everything, water everywhere, messy eating Raw meat, etc. These lizards, while great pets, are very destructive. That being said, they are also avid tree climbers, so I think a 4 foot tall enclosure would not be the best for them once fully grown. Most keepers I know have them in an area where they have basically fallen tree branches thicker than the lizard and able to hold that 60lbs of body mass up for them to climb on, and this is where they spend a lot of their time.

If you feel that you don't have much room, then I wish you lots of luck in raising at 6+ foot lizard :) I envy you if you acquire one !
